If you're looking for something a bit more challenging, try our Harder to Kill series.Over the course of our Back in the Fight 30-day fitness challenge, we'll be doing quite a bit of calisthenics, body weight exercises and running. We’ll also set foot inside the gym a couple of times to get you familiar with some key weightlifting movements, like back squats, overhead press and deadlifts.Eventually, you’ll want to transition into a workout program that incorporates bodyweight exercises, weightlifting, functional fitness and cardiovascular endurance for your long-term physical fitness. American Grit’s “Harder to Kill” daily workouts are great for that.Some of these workouts will require access to a gym with basic equipment, as we’re going to be introducing you to some weightlifting techniques. Lifting weights gives you better results, faster, and is a proven way of reducing fat and building muscle.Are you ready? Here we go!Every day begins with a warmup. The workouts are all designed to be done in under an hour.

Back in the Fight: Day 29

• Warmup: 1 minute of air squats, 1 minute of hanging from the pullup bar, 500m row.
• Workout: "Helen"
• Helen is one of the benchmark Crossfit workouts. It's also a really good workout to gauge where you are at with your fitness.
• It consists of three rounds, for time of:
• 400m run
• 21 Kettlebell Swings (24kg/53#)
• 12 Pull-ups
• The swings are supposed to be done all the way overhead, and the pullups are allowed momentum/kipping.
• If you cannotswing a 53# kettlebell that many times, no worries! Go down in weight to one you can make it through the workout with.
• If you can't do many pullups, that's okay too. Use ring rows, barbell rows, or assisted pullups (such as banded pullups) to help you out.
• Write down your score and the weights you used, then repeat this workout in 3 months, and see if you have improved.
