Lexsi’s October Ab Challenge






The winner will be chosen based on three different aspects:

How much your specific skills increase (Day 1 are the skills and stats that will be judged)
How involved you are through out the month
Visual change in mid section

The winner of the month’s challenge will receive a free month supply of a Herbalife Nutrition program that has a 275$ value. They will also receive a few other surprises. (I’m not telling)

Below, I have made a list of 31 different challenges(one for each day in October); some may be hard, and some may be easy. I will also be editing and adding tasks and sending notes through out the entire month of October, so make sure you check your emails daily. There will also be mini-challenges, and those winner’s will also receive prizes.

The 31 tasks that are listed are October Ab Challenge minimums! Each day I have made a task that will help you get definition in your abs, but more exercises and work should be implemented if you have real hopes of seeing maximum change, and/or winning the month challenge. 

I will be adding tons of tips, tricks and small trivia and challenges on my blog also.
