Welcome to our Benchmark a Better You challenge. This month is strength month to help you lay a strong foundation for 2021. Start by taking the benchmark tests (in core, balance, and mobility). Once you’ve tested yourself, weekly workouts from strength and conditioning coach Kevin Purvis will help you improve over all three of these areas over the next month. 

Ideally, you’ll repeat this workout three times throughout this first week. There are demonstration videos for each exercise. Exercises that are grouped together should be performed as a circuit for the prescribed number of rounds.
