COMMUNITY CHALLENGES

75 ASCEND CHALLENGE


Dates: January 12 - March 27


75 Ascend is a 75-day intentional living challenge designed to strengthen your body, calm your mind, and reconnect you with the truest version of yourself. Beginning Monday, January 12 through Friday, March 27, we’ll move, breathe, nourish, learn, and reflect together — not from a place of pressure or perfection, but with gentle discipline, compassion, and community support.


Unlike other challenges built around pushing harder at any cost, 75 Ascend is about rising with intention. It invites you to show up for yourself daily in simple, meaningful ways — honoring your energy, listening to your body, and creating rituals that support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.


This is not a punishment or a reset button. It’s a sacred commitment to yourself as we head into the new year.


Over these 75 days you’ll practice consistency — not rigidity. You’ll discover what helps you feel grounded, nourished, clear-minded, and strong — inside and out. You’ll also be supported by a community of women who are walking the journey alongside you, reminding you that you don’t have to do any of this alone.

This challenge is organized into six daily practices. These are not rigid rules, but guidelines to help you rise with purpose. If you miss a day, you do not “start over.” You simply recommit and begin again with grace.


1. Daily Movement

Move your body once each day.


Movement may include Pilates, Sculpt, Yoga, strength training, mobility work, walking, stretching, or other intentional forms of exercise. The walking component is designed to support cardiovascular health, nervous system regulation, and time spent in reflection and fresh air when possible.


The goal is not to punish the body, but to develop a respectful and consistent relationship with movement. You’re encouraged to listen to your body, modify when needed, and honor both strength and rest. Over time, you may notice improved physical endurance, clarity of mind, and a deeper sense of grounding.


2. Daily Nourishment

Fuel your body with intention and care.


For the duration of the challenge, we encourage:

  • No alcohol
  • No processed sugars or sweets
  • Aiming for approximately 0.75–1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily
  • A minimum of 25 grams of fiber daily
  • Adequate hydration (up to one gallon per day, or an amount appropriate for you)


This practice is not rooted in restriction. You design a plan and goals that work for you and your body. It's about nourishing your body so it can support you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Through mindful eating you may begin to notice shifts in energy, inflammation, sleep quality, and mood. The deeper intention is to reconnect to food as fuel, care, and respect — rather than indulgence or convenience.


3. Daily Growth (Reading)

Read at least 10 pages of non-fiction daily.


This is intentional, screen-free time designed to support learning, reflection, and mindset development.


We encourage completing the following titles in this order so our community can grow together:

  1. You Are a Badass — Jen Sincero
  2. Atomic Habits — James Clear
  3. Untamed — Glennon Doyle


If you complete these, additional suggested reading includes:

  • The Power of Now — Eckhart Tolle
  • Let Them — Mel Robbins
  • Vibrate Higher Daily — Lalah Delia


The intention is not speed or perfection, but absorption and integration — allowing the words to influence how you see yourself, your habits, and your capacity for growth.


4. Daily Mindfulness

Dedicate at least 5 minutes each day to stillness or reflection.


This may look like deep breathing, prayer, meditation, stretching before bed, journaling, or quiet reflection.


This practice reminds us that rest is part of the work. In stillness, the nervous system resets, clarity becomes available, and emotions have space to soften and settle. These moments anchor you back into presence and intention, helping you move through life with more awareness, less reactivity, and a deeper sense of peace.


5. Daily Accountability

Check in daily to acknowledge your commitment and stay connected to the community.


You may:

  • Share a post or story
  • Use the challenge hashtag #75ascend
  • Tag @ascensionpilates and @ascendwithashley on Instagram
  • Location check in on Facebook
  • Or hold yourself accountable privately if that feels better for you


Accountability is not about proving anything to others. It is about building self-trust and staying connected to the collective energy of the challenge. When we rise together, we are reminded that we do not have to journey alone.


6. Progress Tracking

Document your progress at the beginning and end of the challenge.


We encourage an optional “before” photo on Day 1 and an optional “after” photo on Day 75. These photos do not need to be shared publicly. They are solely for your personal reflection, and sharing is completely optional.


You are also encouraged to track other forms of progress, such as energy, confidence, strength, mood, sleep, mindset, clarity, and self-awareness.


Progress is not only physical. It is emotional, mental, and spiritual. The intention of this practice is to witness your growth with compassion — not criticism.


The Heart of 75 Ascend

There is no punishment for missed days.
There is no “failure.”


There is simply the opportunity, each day, to ask:


How can I show up for myself with intention today?



This challenge is meant to build consistency, confidence, compassion, community and alignment one day at a time...
