A DEDICATED MINDFUL FITNESS CHALLENGE BY EL
WILD
fi tness ADVENTURE
Hola Belle Tribe,
I invite you to take part in my 42 day Wild Fitness Adventure (WFA). WFA is designed with a unique use of my former career. I was a solider in the Australian Army with 13 years’ experience in physically training my soldiers and training my body and mind for combat. Although it sounds full on, it’s not. I designed it to get your heart pumping, your mind soaring and your senses indulged. WFA is a fun way to get fit so I encourage you to do this program with a friend or small team so you are not only working on building your physical fitness, but building your team work and leadership skills too.
How to use this guide is easy. Start day 1 on a Sunday, see what the challenge is for the day, go to the challenge card explanation and follow the instructions.
I look forward to seeing your success, so please be open in sharing how you are going with us via social media. Please always use my handles @belleoftheashes and #WFA.
Most important thing is to chill out and don’t focus on results but have fun with the journey. Good luck and just and breathe!
Love El xx

Ensure you stretch before and after your workout to and protect yourself from a future injury and to help
your body recover.
What: A Fitness Level Assessment (FLA) is a baseline activity is so we have a starting point for your fitness level and a goal to work towards in this 6 week program. In the last week of this program, you will be doing another FLA to see how far you have come.
Warm up: Ensure you warm your body up prior to FLA (or any physical activity) to avoid injuries, eg: Jog gently on the spot for two minutes, do some body movements and light stretches
Max number of push-ups you can do in two minutes
Max number of sit-ups in three minutes
A timed two km jog or five km powerwalk (ONLY if you can’t run)
Cool Down: Slow walk in clockwise direction, focusing on slowing down the breath and stretching.
Once you have completed the FLA ensure you lower your heart rate by keeping your body moving until your heart rate returns to normal.
Complete your activity by drinking water and continue to stretch your body throughout the day.
Write down your results in your Journal with the date and times, and give yourself a big ‘well done!’ at the end. Here is your physical starting point. You will only get better from here.

Complete your activity by drinking water and continue to stretch your body throughout the day. Ensure you eat a good healthy meal on completion.
Deck of Cards
60 MINUTES
DECK OF CARDS, PT GEAR,

60 MINUTES
YOGA PANTS, CROP TOP AND
A WATER BOTTLE
What: The main purpose of yoga is to cultivate discernment, awareness, self-regulation and a higher consciousness of self. Whilst doing yoga, your brain is too distracted to be focusing on the negative things that are happening in your life, so it gives you a platform to heal during and after.
In this program, we are going to practice yoga once a week.
We will use it to re-align, refocus, and relax.
To be involved in yoga, jump on my Belle of the Ashes youtube channel and do it in the comfort of your home.

Step Up
Squat
Silent Cross Country
Jogging (SCCJ)
60 MINUTES
SHORTS, SHIRT, JOGGERS, WATER BOTTLE
AND HAT
What: Cross country jogging is more about getting outside with nature and letting your inner voice come to the surface rather than a mental and physical challenge. Although they seem like opposite ends of the exercise spectrum, cross country running for me, is a yoga practice. It gives me time to be in tune with myself and breathe in the natural air. It is the one time I can listen to whatever my intuition is trying to tell me and reset myself.
Warm up: 5 min jog at a comfortable speed. Some light stretches focusing on your legs and lower back.
Where is your favorite spot in the world? Is it the beach, the mountains, the soft green meadows of the country or it could even be around the city? I suggest somewhere where there aren’t a lot of distractions but just go there to be with you. Jog at a speed that is comfortable for you, and let your body and mind relax. That is when the magic happens.
Cool Down: 5 min jog at a comfortable speed.
Complete your activity by drinking water and continue to stretch your body throughout the day. Ensure you eat a good healthy meal on completion.

50 meter swim and 600 m jog for max 40 minutes. Try and get at least 10 reps of each
Cool Down: 50 meter slow swim and stretches in pool.
Complete your activity by drinking water and continue to stretch your body throughout the day.
Beep Test
60 MINUTES
PHONE WITH BLEEP TEST INSTALLED, SPEAKER,
4 CONES 20 METERS APART, PT GEAR
What: A beep test circuit is a fun way to get active. It is best done with a partner as you can start on opposite levels. The way it works is it is a timed circuit based on levels. You run for one level and exercise for the next, then run for next level and exercise for next and so on and so forth. When you partner with someone, they start on the opposite thing you are doing so you are at opposite exercises.
Warm up: Jog Beep test up to 7.5

What: Pyramid circuits are designed to build muscle and strength in a simple and fun way.
Pyramid circuits are completed by choosing a section of your body to work out, then picking 6 exercises, a number of reps (which is always 10 for my sessions) and starting at 1 rep and working your way up by adding an extra exercise each rep until 6 reps is completed and then working your way down to one rep. It will make more sense when you are doing it.
Warm up: Jog on spot for 3 minutes whilst punching out to the front, 5 squats, 5 sit-ups, 5 lunges each leg and 5 pushups. Light stretches.

What: The challenge is an epic way to finish off your 42 day fitness program. It is a half a day challenge doing whatever you think will challenge you.
Warm up: Warm up on the go with this one. Some light stretches along the way to avoid injuries.
The challenge is your canvas to design. It can be a combination of hiking, cycling and kayaking, or to keep it simple you can do a 30-40km bush walk.
Whatever you plan to do, ensure you think of safety first. Do it with a friend with a phone for safety and watch your footing. Be on the lookout for snakes and spiders and loose stones you may slip on.
Cool Down: Cool down on the go. Finish hike off with a picnic and a swim and maybe even a glass of champagne. Keep hydrated throughout the day.
