30 Ideas for a 30 Day Challenge
1. Jump Rope Challenge
Jump rope exercises are good because they can be done in a small room and, if necessary, with the team. The more advanced can do double jumps, while the slower ones can do single jumps with breaks. This guarantees that, for example, 10 minutes of jumping a day will make your team very active and mobile in 30 days.
2. Squat Challenge
Squat challenge is good because people can do it everywhere and at their own pace. Whoever wants it will take breaks, while others may use additional weights instead. Of course, this is a more technically complex exercise, but its quality can be ensured through instruction or observation of one's own reflection.
3. Plank Challenge
The plank challenge is a universal exercise that can be done anywhere and does not depend on a person's physical form. For example, agree that each participant should exercise once a day for as long as they can for 30 consecutive days. This is how you can see someone's progress over time compared to themselves.
4. Drop One Item Challenge
There are things in all of our homes that we don't need ourselves, but that could create value for someone else right away and now. That's why one exciting challenge is to encourage people to give up every day or donate one of their items that are no longer needed. Definitely, through the moody pictures, a lot of good talk rises within the team.
5. Write a Poem Challenge
Creativity is a skill that can be practiced. So it's a good opportunity to call your employees every day to write at least a few real poems. Anyone who wishes can make things more interesting by following a given topic. Such a creative task is a good opportunity to develop your team in solving other work challenges as well.
6. Smoothie Challenge
Who wouldn't like healthy smoothies? There are certainly some of them, but many would not give up the opportunity to drink something juice every day. Challenge your team to consume one unique smoothie every day for 30 days. Be it a homemade drink or a store-bought drink, the excitement should be shared with everyone.
7. Cooking Challenge
If everyone can make smoothies, making good food is already a bigger art. To do this, you can reduce the ratio of meals to days (for example, 10 meals in 30 days). Although the taste experiences cannot be shared virtually, the best recipes can be passed on to liven up the conversation!
8. Stretching Challenge
Few people would say they would not want to be more flexible. This is good for stretching exercises, which, in addition to flexibility, also help relieve stress and reduce tension in the body due to a fixed sitting position. In this way, the employer can show that he considers the breaks important.
9. Fruit Eating Challenge
The fruits are delicious, but often our eating only separates us from their visibility. Everyone can put 5 ready-made fruits on the table and it is sure that the daily amount of vitamins will be consumed. This will make all employees look for more alternatives to sweet things in the form of healthy fruits.
10. Sugar-Free Drinks Challenge
Today, there are good and tasty alternatives to sugary drinks on the market. This challenge provides an opportunity to develop a habit within 30 days, which will help you to give up sugar-containing drinks in the long run. Through this, we promote a health-conscious team that is not dependent on sugar drinks.
11. Water Drinking Challenge
It is a good challenge to replace all other drinks with water. Although it may seem difficult to do at first glance, participants who are able to practice it for 30 days after the challenge have a very good lifestyle. In addition to good health, there are also significant savings in money. The suggestion is to put a jug of water next to the table at the beginning of the day and see how it empties.
12. Favorite Song Challenge
It is a very simple challenge to get to know your team. Choose the songs you want to listen to according to the size of your team. There is one unique song on the playlist every day, and it helps to better understand how employees spend their free time and what someone's taste in music is.
13. Adequate Sleep Challenge
Good sleep is important for every employee to perform their duties. The idea of challenging everyone to sleep for at least 7-8 hours on as many days as possible within 30 days is a sure way to ensure that the team is at rest. This, in turn, affects many different aspects of health.
14. Meditation Challenge
Meditation is a great way to improve your ability to concentrate through physical exercise. It is also open to all and is an important element in tackling mental health problems. Because there are many different ways to know how to raise awareness, the challenge is to focus.
15. Recognition Challenge

16. Cleaning Your Home Challenge
Who among us would not want our home to be in order? This is a great way to encourage people to create a system and consistency such as allocating 15 minutes each day to household chores. It is very exciting to see it develop into a habit that is also transferred to the maintenance of the workplace.
17. Book Reading Challenge
Most people want to have more time to read books. Sometimes this wish is not achieved precisely because we do not start with small steps. If you try to read 5-10 pages every day for 30 days, it is essentially possible to read at least one book a month.
18. Outdoor Time Challenge
Human bodies are designed to move in nature. The sad fact, however, is that many work responsibilities keep us indoors most of the day. For this reason, it's a good idea for your team to set a goal of trying to be outdoors for at least 30 minutes every day, for example, for 30 days. Improving your well-being is guaranteed!
19. Tracking Expenses Challenge

Quitting alcohol has varying degrees of difficulty for different people, but it is clear that it would have a good effect on people's health. However, inspiring to live 30 days without alcohol should be an affordable challenge to aim for. Inspiring each other and offering good alternatives, becomes a unifying challenge for the team.
22. Vitamin Challenge
We all need vitamins. Why not take them extra just in case? The ease of arranging this challenge lies in the fact that everyone takes care of the vitamins for 30 days and reminds to take them day in and day out. An easy step, but in the long run a significant health impact on each individual.
23. Writing a Diary Challenge
We all have different thoughts during the day. Wouldn't it be exciting to never read them later? The best way to do this is to put these thoughts in writing. Inspire your team to do so, and you can be sure that it will increase your ability to analyze yourself and your wider awareness of your workforce culture.
24. Move Stairs Challenge
People live in different places, but the challenge of taking every step of the elevator every day is definitely worth a try. Informing each other of your progress with pictures helps keep the subject in focus. No wonder, but over time, the entire company's staff only uses the stairs and promotes their health through it.
25. Screen-Free Hour Challenge
We all get better sleep if we don't spend time with the screen just before going to bed. It could be a great type of challenge to do this, but every hour before going to bed puts both the computer and the phone away. Within the team, the ability to create more space for thought grows, and as a result, natural communication and stress are certainly reduced.
26. Everyday Photography Challenge

There are hundreds of different sports in the world. What if you tried to do something new every day for 30 days that you haven't tried before.
