Are you up for a little challenge? The 7-day challenge is a collection of workouts designed to get you moving and feeling really, really good about yourself. Each day will target a specific muscle group and include a little cardio to get your blood pumping. You will be challenged. Click on the image below to access the challenge now!

FAQ

Great question! Activating a muscle group helps to build strength and endurance in that area. When I say ‘activate’ I really just mean engage or use. I want you to squeeze all of the muscles in the focus area every time I say ‘activate’. You still want to be able to breathe and function normally, so don’t squeeze so hard it impedes your ability to function.

You can start the 7 Day Challenge any time that is suitable to you! That could be a Monday, Wednesday, Summer, Winter, it’s entirely up to you and your schedule. However, once you do start, you must complete each day in sequential order.

I recommend you attempt to complete each workout as scheduled for optimal results. However, this is your journey and if for whatever reason you cannot complete a particular workout, that’s OK too.

At the end of the day, only you know what your body needs. If you need to add a rest day in between workouts, that’s totally fine. Just pick up from where you left off when you can.

This really depends on you and your lifestyle. The time you have available to workout will differ for everyone so the best time to workout is anytime you can set aside where there will be no distractions or interruptions. This is you time so make the most of it.

  3. Love your exercise videos, but the challenge is too long! Can you make a shorter challenge of up to 10 mins/day? If I cut back on this challenge then I’m not really undertaking the challenge, am I? But I can’t give up an hour or thereabouts to do this each day. Please consider a less time-consuming challenge for those of us who can’t find the time for this one.

  4. Hi Schellea! I’ve been doing your videos sInce October 9. I’ve lost 65 pounds doing your workouts and following Weight Watchers. I’m 64 and only need to lose 1 more pound to get to goal! I remember started the 15 minute walking video and at first I would run during the first 30 second segment now I run through all the walking segments! I am doing your 10 Minute AB toning video. I’m challenging myself to do it for 30 days then I will retake my measurements and I’ll let you know! I’m excited to try your 14 day challenge! Every bit of fitness makes me feel better and stronger. I’ve also been doing your arm workouts. The ones with no weights and although my bat wings are still there, my shoulders and biceps are really getting toned. I’ll start the ones with weights this week. I love your videos and am so happy to have found them! I’m off all my blood pressure meds and my doc is happily surprised at my weight loss. I’ve had breast cancer in ‘17 and sarcoma in ‘19. The recovery from the sarcoma surgery was very difficult but I just kept plugging away doing your videos and when I saw the surgeon he was shocked at how much movement I have in my left arm and shoulder. He said he removed so much muscle and tissue he didn’t think I would be able to raise my arm more than a few inches! I know doing your videos has really increased my strength and mobility so now I can raise my left arm almost straight up! Keep making videos and know that you are making a difference in MY life and I’m sure lots of other women’s! You have made my gardening so much easier and more fun!

    Best,

  14. Hi Schellea, today was the first day of my 14 day challenge. I love it. I struggled with the abs workout though. With a weak core I am not sure how I will master it and I dont want any back injury. Have you done some past abs videos for beginners? You are a true inspiration to me, thank you! Greetings from Upstate New York

  15. Hi. I found you on UTube and feel you are a great fit for me. I’ve been working out, looking at make up application and really enjoy your presentation skills. I feel you were born to do this work. I am good but we have very elderly parents and recently lost a baby grandson unfortunately born very prem. We are strong but I have gained a few extra kilos. I’m planning mum’s 80th on 23 August. I don’t need to look like a 30 year old but I want to feel comfortable and confident on the day. I’ll follow you on this challenge for sure. For me, you are a terrific motivator. Thanks, I’m really looking forward to it and most of all need something like this right now. Yes is my first challenge!

  17. I’m keen to do the 14 day challenge starting Friday. Could you tell me how long it takes to do each set of videos, I.e how long is the day workout, 20 mins, 30 mins?

  19. I’ve actually been doing your workouts for 2 months now. I had to stop recently due to a bout with contaminated water but I’m getting back on the program this week. I have lost 8 pounds and feeling good! I REALLY enjoy your balance exercises the most as they have been very helpful with helping me to regain my balance that I once had when I was studying ballet. Thank you!

  22. Hi, I have a question for the upcoming challenge. You said to go to the website (here) and click the day and the videos will play. But I’m using Roku on my TV so how do I know which video to play in the daily set?

  23. Hi Shelley I was introduced to you via your rebounding video. I am keen to do the 14 day challenge. Thanks

  24. Hi Shellea, I have been doing your workouts since March and can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed them, particularly as I can create a mix and match approach that never makes exercise boring. Will the 14 day challenge be put on You Tube as well as your website? I can bring You Tube up on the tv which makes it so much easier to follow – it doesn’t make me feel I am on my own. I thought I would do the very last Joe Wicks PE session this morning instead and I kept up by changing some of the more intense, high impact moves for your alternatives – couldn’t have done that back in March!

  40. Hi Schella, I found you by googling exercise for older women and I have been doing your workouts most days for the last 3 months or so. I love the fact that there is so much variety in the workouts so I am never bored but what is always the same is your smiling face and encouragement to carry on! I am going to have a go at your challenge and see how much I can fit in as some days I only have time for a 10 min workout before the “gym” turns into my home office!
