The Internet is full of 30-day fitness challenges, but are they really safe?

Push-ups, planks and Salsa dance; the Internet is full of 30-day fitness challenges, but are they really safe?

Chetna Chakravarthy loves her food. You’ll find the wellness entrepreneur first in the line for gulab jamuns at a wedding. And since she refuses to diet, the only way to maintain her weight is to exercise.



Rather than going to a gym, or run every morning, Chakravarthy chose to sign up for a fitness challenge – one of the many on the Internet. She is now on Day 22 of a 30-day squats challenge.



For someone like Chakravarthy, a fitness challenge appears to be the best way to get moving and stay moving. The Internet challenges provide workout schedules that include plans for squats, planks, abs, push-ups, etc, and supplement them with DIY tutorials. Your motivation comes from social media: you tweet pictures and post updates of your progress.
