My 10-day 10-minute fitness challenge starts today!

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Could you use a little extra encouragement and motivation to move your body? I can! One of my goals for February is to do a better job of prioritizing working out. I set a goal to work out 10 minutes a day in January, but then I didn’t plan to get it done early… which meant that most days it didn’t get done!

In February, my goal is to get up a little earlier and get my workout in first thing in the morning — before my day starts. I’ve been experimenting with this plan this week and it’s making such a difference. In fact, I have gotten my workout in every single day this week!

To help myself have accountability and to stick with my plan, I decided to invite anyone who wants to join me for a 10-day, 10-minute fitness challenge! Here are the details:

  1. We start today, February 3, 2025, and it will run every weekday through February 14, 2025.
  2. To join, just pick a 10-minute workout program or type of exercise you will commit to do for 10 minutes a day. (If you want to follow the plan I’m using, see below.)
  3. Leave a comment below letting me know that you’re joining us and what workout program, exercise, or movement you are committing to do.
  4. Follow me on Instagram and I’ll be posting a daily check-in post on stories after I complete my workout and will invite you to check-in and let me know you completed your workout, too. I can’t wait to cheer you on — and to have some extra accountability!

The 10-Minute Workout Program I’ll Be Doing

I’m going to use the 10 for 10 Challenge that is part of the many different workout programs and challenges offered through the Get Healthy U TV membership. You can get access to all of their workout programs and on-demand workout videos (they offer SO many different types of workouts!) for just $0.49 for an entire year!!

Once you sign up, just go to the challenges tab and look for the 10 for 10 Challenge. You can download a beginner or intermediate workout plan complete with videos walking you through the workouts every day. (All of the workouts are bodyweight workouts and you shouldn’t need any extra equipment!)

Go sign up for a one-year membership to Get Healthy U TV here and get the 10 for 10 Workout Challenge Program + many others for just $0.49!!

  9. Linda says

    This is the only place I see to comment, so everything is ending up here. A “fun” fact is that I once had ro have stitches on my tongue.

  22. Joy says

    I walk with my husband in the mornings but it’s been to cold so I need to settle for the treadmill.

  23. Anastasia Adrian says

    I have GHU but could not find a challenge. However, I am committed to doing 10 minutes a day on the music boxing machine.

  39. KINDRA GRIMES says

    I’m with you on working out daily !
    I’m aiming high to 30 min a day and trying for 50 min a day elliptical / treadmill walking and doing great !
    I’ve been doing daily !

  43. Jennifer Fetzer says

    I am committed to the challenge. I commit to indoor walking and daily stretching to help my mobility

  61. Kim says

    I do five days a week of a workout and then on the weekend, add in some longer walks (outside) and recovery/mobility/stretching. It’s so important for us to take care of ourselves!!

  64. Christina Schulman says

    In doing the challenge! I am going to do my treadmill for at least 10 minutes the next 10 days 😊

  78. Ginger says

    I have removed instagram from my phone, but I am def in. Had the same goal in Jan, and worked out twice I think. But I am back today, 10 mins a day, till feb 14th with you.

    I am doing BODI’s 10 min time machine program ( skipping the cycling as I don’t have a bike). Will just do the 8 other workouts and then repeat 2 of them. I am excited to get back to my regularly scheduled programming of taking care of myself before my day gets going, and not being is so much pain!!

  79. Jen M. says

    I’m not on Instagram, but I’m in! I need a little encouragement to get back in gear from gaining a LOT of weight with menopause, a big move a couple years ago, and 2 falls in Fall 2024. I started riding my exercise bike a couple weeks ago (3-4 days a week for 20 minutes), so I’m going to try 10 minutes of stretching or yoga for 10 days (in addition to riding my exercise bike and snow shoveling!) and see how that goes. Baby steps!!!

    Thanks for the encouragement!!

  82. Kelli says

    Downloaded and starting 10 for 10 today! Closing on our new home today! Starting this plan today! January was just a test run. My NEW YEAR starts TODAY!

  84. Dana B says

    I’m in!! Going to try this!! Can’t wait to start Manana! So glad you made it a Monday start and not Feb 1! I’m in!! Thank you for motivating us!

  85. Jordan says

    Love this motivation! I am excited to join and will be doing Nourish Move Love workouts and walking

  89. Kelly says

    I’m in! I needed some motivation/accountability to get my workouts more consistent. I’ve already picked some workouts and added them to my favorites, so they are easy to find and ready to go tomorrow! I’ll be doing some of the free 10 minute workouts on FitOn. I’m sometimes an all or nothing kind of girl and think if I can’t get a long workout in, then I just do nothing. 10 minutes is very doable and a great way to get in the habit of working out. I’m excited to get started.

  90. Clare C. says

    I so needed this challenge! Plan to either walk, ride the exercise bike a friend gave me, or do one of my 10 minute Solutions work out videos.

  93. Julie says

    I’m joining you!
    I’ll do a combination of pilates on youTube and various 30 minute workouts on Get Healthy U TV.

  97. Naomi says

    I’m in! I’ll be either walking or doing Pilates each day (maybe I’ll try for the 10 minutes being Pilates every day.)

  98. Elisha G. says

    I’m in. I’ll be using our recumbent exercise bike for 10 minutes. I just started a new WFH job and I’m sitting way too much. This will be a great incentive to move during the day. Thank you!

  99. Christina says

    I am going to try! If I already know I will be more active than normal (walking a ton) than I will probably give myself a pass. I will count it as a leg day😉

  101. Deanna says

    I’m in! I love this idea. I will probably do the WalkFit app most days. Maybe throw some yoga or bodyweight strength in too.

  102. T says

    I’m in! I got a walking pad in Oct., but have only used it once for 3 minutes, to test it. This is great motivation to start using it regularly.

  106. Connie says

    I will be walking everyday. I had shoulder surgery so I can’t workout so I will be walking on my walking pad!

  107. Tonia says

    I signed up for Healthy U and will be either doing one of their 10 minute routines but haven’t decided which one yet or doing a 10ish minute YouTube video with Brandon Palmer.

  108. Elizabeth says

    Every day I WILL do at least ten minutes of workout. My workouts will include one or more of exercise bike,VR exercise, and weight lifting.

  109. Rachel says

    I will be starting Janine Tiede’s “Fit & Flexible for Life” 10 minute stretching & strengthening program. Even though it’s designed for older adults, I’m 40 and broke my leg and (dislocated) ankle last year and am still recovering, so I’m hoping this program will help me to be able to walk & move more. Crystal, thanks for the accountability partner! 🙂

  113. Nikki Christian says

    I’m in! I’ve failed at moving more in January, but I can start now. And 10 mins is a good place to start and doable!

  117. Ann says

    I’ll be joining you! Love the accountability factor! I usually cross country ski on weekends but there is no time during the week. My mid week workouts will consist of treadmill walking, stretching, squats, and light free weights. A rotation, not all in one day! I usually listen to podcasts or music while I workout 😊

  118. Amber says

    I’ll join you, thank you!
    I actually made New Year’s goals for the first time this year, because of your good idea about doing them monthly, & with more easily measurable goals. Seemed much more doable!
    I did well with some goals, but I fell miserably short with doing my workouts!
    I’ll be using the BetterMe app, which I really like.

  119. Crysta Williams says

    Hi, Crystal. I just signed up and I’m so looking forward to joining you. I’ve asked my husband to do it too. We both have goals this year we’re trying to work on. Thank you for this challenge, and I’m looking forward to it.

  120. Kristy MeYeR says

    I’m in! I planned to workout 15 minutes a day each day in January but like yours, my January also did not go to plan. 3 of my 4 kiddos were in the ER this month, 2 for Rotavirus treatment, and 1 for a serious motorcycle accident. So I am not sorry to bid January farewell and it is time to get back to re-starting our 2025 goals.

    I’m so pleased that your kiddos are healing well.

  122. Jessica Beagle says

    I’m in. I have three workouts a week planned for my then I will walk every day as well. On my off days, I will do yoga.

  124. Leann says

    I just started attending a pilates class for an hour every Saturday in January. I have loved it so much! I hope to keep it up but for the rest of the week I want to alternate walking MWF and lifting light weights on TTh. I will start with the 10 minute commitment and go from there. Thanks for this kick in the pants! I need it.

  126. Sarah Ervin says

    I’ll be joining! I’ll be using my Grow with Jo YouTube workouts/ Move Nourish Love YouTube workouts and my health coach workouts! (I love a good variety!)

  127. Courtney says

    Yes, I am in! I have been struggling to recover from pneumonia all month, so I am committing to a 10 minute walk every day. I love walking, and I need gentle exercise as I heal my lungs.

  128. Heather says

    All right! I am in. This weekend I will set up a workout space in the family room so I’m ready go Monday!

  130. Sandra McGrandle says

    Hi Crystal, this is a great idea! I was exercising regularly most of last year, but then my husband injured his knee so our 2 mile a day morning walks stopped and also I mostly stopped going to the gym that we had been going to (other than once in a blue moon). I know it sounds silly, but I don’t like to walk alone for the most part, and I just got out of the groove with going to do weight training – I actually love it.
    I may do the same thing you have listed above, but for sure I will at least take a 10 minute walk each day.

  135. Melody says

    I’m in! I already lift weights but have been wanting to add 10 mins of movement after dinner before I become a couch potato for the rest of the evening. I just haven’t done it yet. I’m going to habit stack this with another goal – learning to shuffle. So I’m going to spend 10 mins after dinner practicing my shuffle dancing.

  136. Bonnie W. says

    I’ll join you in this workout journey! I like do a HIIT or strength workout every other day and run the other days. 8fit or FitOn are my go to workout apps. They are free and have a wonderful variety of workouts(time, intensity, type). Ten minutes is doable & I enjoy getting it done first thing in the morning. Otherwise, it may not get done :). You are such an encouragement to so many! Thanks for all you to encourage and inspire us!

  137. Claire says

    I will join! I purchased a treadmil amd haven’t used it! My goal is to walk at least 10 min a day!

  139. Shari says

    I’m in. I have to start somewhere! I will be doing a hand weight plus walking routine I’ve liked in the past.

  142. Deb says

    Love this challenge! I will be working on a playlist of 10 minute workouts that I created on you tube. I need the accountability also.

  143. Lynnette Lovasco says

    I’ll be joining you. I will do a Peloton workout since I already have a membership.

  144. Ruth says

    Hi Crystal, I’m with you from the UK! I had planned to start daily exercise in January, but my eldest has been sick and work has been crazy so the month got away from me. Good luck to all joining.

  145. Janette M. says

    Perfect timing! I’ll be joining you for this challenge 🙂 I’ll be following a circuit training plan that I love to use when I need to ease back into working out regularly again after time off for whatever reason.
