5 Fitness Challenges to Try While Working Out at Home

Handstand Challenge

Shout out to Tom Holland for putting the Handstand Challenge on the map.

The actor posted an Instagram Story of himself putting his shirt on while doing a handstand, before calling on Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds to do the same.

Mastering the Handstand Challenge isn't as easy as Holland makes it look, though — you try balancing upside down on one hand as you put a t-shirt on with your other hand! (Remember: you can put your feet against a wall for balance!)

Once you've mastered the move, invite your friends to do the same by posting a video to social media and tagging them.

Encourage your friends to get up and get moving with the See 10 Do 10 Challenge.

Simply record yourself doing 10 push-ups (or another move of your choice), and nominate a friend to do the same. Soon enough, your whole friend group will be working out and inspiring others to get a quick sweat in, too.

Before you start sizing up this impressive goal, know that POPSUGAR's created a manageable trainer-backed schedule to get you — and your glutes — to the finish line.

Push-Up Challenge

Despite how simple they seem, push-ups are no easy feat — especially when you're tasked with doing 50 at once. That is, unless you're equipped with POPSUGAR's 30-day guide.

Through this plan, you'll build your strength and endurance with less risk of overuse injuries thanks to the five push-up variations included in your training.

Almost every day (with the expectation of a few rests), you'll be assigned basic push-ups, one-legged push-ups, T push-ups, and diamond push-ups.

Your daily dose of push-ups increases the further you get into your regimen. In no time, accomplishing 50 push-ups in one sitting will have gone from a dream to a reality.
