How every FLF challenge works

5 + 2 rhythm

Five training days, two rest days, every week. Recovery is where you actually get stronger.

Work + active rest

Training days alternate sit-up sets with stretch days: cat-cow stretch, cobra stretch, child's pose.

Progressive overload

The reps climb a little each session, so day 30 feels earned — not impossible.
