Hey babe, welcome to the Movement by MK Studio. I am so excited to sweat with you here as always. Today is a very special day because we are kicking off our 30-day Beginner Babe Challenge. So you're probably wondering what that is, and the reason I'm kicking off this challenge is because I will never forget when I first started my fitness journey. I had no idea where to start. I was so overwhelmed. I felt like I was always starting and stopping and just could not figure out that fitness routine. So the goal of the next 30 days is to guide you every step of the way. I'm going to tell you exactly what workout to do on what day, and I'm even going to email them right into your inbox if you hit subscribe and opt in to the challenge opt-in below. Additionally, I'm going to provide you with a 30-day calendar so you can check off your workouts one by one. And the best part about this challenge is it can be done with zero equipment. Really, you just need you and your body. Also, if you want to do these workouts at any time on your own schedule, you can totally do so, or you can follow along in the challenge format. All right, are you excited? Give me a double thumbs up, let me know you're with me. And we are going to kick off to your first workout of this challenge. You're going to be able to check it off after this. Share your calendar with me and let's get it started.
