Work Hard, Be Nice Challenge

Where hustle meets the heart

Where Hustle Meets the Heart -

I want to make this clear from the get-go, this is not a fitness challenge. Yes, we will workout, but this is about so much more than physical fitness. This is a healthy lifestyle & mindfulness challenge that could truly change your life in just 6 weeks!

This 'Work Hard, Be Nice Challenge' will guide you in embracing both the dedication to pursue your goals & the kindness to honor & love yourself along the way. In order for us to live a long, healthy & happy life, it is absolutely crucial to strengthen (& soften) our bodies & our minds.

While it’s vital to continue to strive for new heights, we must also take time every single day to slow down, cultivate gratitude & appreciate exactly where we are in the present moment. This is why this program combines both daily workouts & daily self care practices like journaling, meditating, breathwork, creating & reflecting.

Remember, there is strength in consistency, beauty in the smallest efforts & power in showing up for yourself, especially when no one is watching.

My wish is for this challenge to be a gentle companion on your beautiful journey— for it to be a tool that honors both your hustle & your heart. Together, we can create a positive ripple that transforms not only our lives, but the lives of those around us.

Let’s make a commitment to work hard & be nice every single day from this day forward. I have a really good feeling about 2025. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being here. Here we go!

Join us for my 6 week long ‘Work Hard, Be Nice Challenge' before January 26th to be eligible for prizes.

Not only have I lost 50 pounds using Claire’s guides & app, but I feel SO much better overall! Claire & this community is so welcoming & supportive!

WHBN Journal + Planner

My journal is finally here & it is the perfect compliment to this ‘Work Hard, Be Nice Challenge.’ Although it is not required to participate, it is highly recommended.

On the left side, you will find the “Work Hard” page. On the right side, you will find the “Be Nice” page. The prompts given on the “Work Hard” page are designed for productivity, organization & self improvement, while the prompts given on the “Be Nice” page are designed for gratitude, self care & kindness.

Writing down our gratitude & our goals, daily, helps to solidify our commitment & continue to live intentionally in the present. The act of journaling encourages mindfulness, which helps us process challenges & celebrate our wins, big or small. This practice complements the physical & mental evolution we’re striving for, creating a clearer sense of purpose & a deeper connection to self.

Are you ready to make gratitude & growth a consistent daily practice?

There are 5 “work hard” training days per week with 7 “be nice” mindfulness days per week (because we should be nice to ourselves every single day am I right?!).

Here’s the training split:

Day 1 - lower body
Day 2 - upper body
Day 3 - HIIT + core
Day 4 - mobility / active recovery
Day 5 - full body
Day 6 - rest day
Day 7 - rest day or active recovery
Ideally, you’ll want a light set, a medium set & a heavy set. However, if you have only one set you can make it work. If you have to choose, go with a lighter set so that you can do all of the movements. If you only own a set of 50lb DBs, you probably wouldn’t be able to do tricep kickbacks, so keep this in mind. I personally would use a set of 8, 20 & 35lb DBs for this program.
Everyone! The answer is everyone. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, train from home or the gym, you will benefit from this challenge! It’s more than just a fitness challenge, it’s an overall healthy lifestyle & wellness challenge! We will build stronger & happier bodies & mindset, together, during these next 6 weeks!
