It’s Day 1, ladies! Today is the official start of the “Get Right, Get Tight” fitness challenge. You made the commitment to get fit… now let’s get to work with your personal trainer, Robbie Ann Darby of RAD Experience!

Move of the day: Plank

Extend your legs and arms, as if you’re about to attempt a push up. But don’t push down! By holding in your core, you’ll strengthen your abs, legs and arms. No worries if you shake, that means it’s working. Hold the position for 30 seconds, and repeat 3 times. You can do it!

Pair your plank with a 30 minute cardio workout of your choice. Go for a jog after dinner, or take your favorite Zumba class. Get moving to rev up your metabolism and meet your new friend: workout endorphins. Warning: they will get addictive!

Completed your workout? Check in daily with the hashtag #GetRightGetTight on Twitter!

Meal of the day: CHIC EATS: Zucchini & Chickpea Lasagna [RECIPE]

A moment for you: “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live in.”- Jim Rohn
