15 Day Reset Challenge

Who it's for

This is for you if you want to get back into a routine and like a clear plan with a finish line. Most days take about 30 minutes with abs included, and it suits all levels. If you only want abs, try the 30 Day Defined Abs Challenge. If you want to get measurably stronger, the 8 Week Stronger Challenge is a better fit.

What you need

You'll need dumbbells, two or three pairs from light to heavy. Day 9 uses a yoga block (or something stable) to raise your heels. Day 11 uses a bench or chair. The rest of the days need nothing.

How it works

You train 15 days in a row. Each day is a workout of 19 to 28 minutes, upper body, lower body or full body. Each one has a recommended ab session of 9 to 13 minutes to add after it, and the abs are optional. Days 4, 8 and 12 are short recovery stretches of 5 to 6 minutes. Days 14 and 15 are all abs, finishing with the 500 Rep Ab Challenge. Most sets are timed, like 40 seconds work and 20 rest, or 45 on and 15 off. Some days use Tabata or start each set with a 20 second hold.

  • Pick your ab add-on before you start, so you go straight into it while you're warm.
  • Go lighter than usual on Day 7, because every set starts with a hold.
  • On Day 11, save your heaviest pair for the Romanian deadlifts and hip thrusts, and go lighter on the single leg moves.
