  • What does a typical F+F Challenge day look like?

    You can expect to begin the challenge in prayer followed by one focus movement per day. The amount of time needed to complete the challenge are based on how far along we are in the Lenten Season.  The further along we are, the more time you'll need to dedicate to this challenge. For example, the first few days will only require 5-10 mins, but as we approach the end of Lent, we encourage you to gradually make more time in prayer and in movement (some days up to 30 mins)  

    "Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do wth love." - St.Therese de Lisieux


    "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." (Hebrew 12:11)

Here's what some women had to say about the 2024 lenten challenge...


"I'm Lisi from Austria. I think body, mind, spirit belong together and form a Trinity but for me workouts feel like something very separate from praying... I want those two to become more connected. I know i need both for feeling well. Thank you very much for the beautiful videos and the guidance." - Lisi M


"Hi, I'm Miranda. We live on a farm in Manitoba. I am excited and looking forward to the Lenten F+F Challenge! I think the fitness aspect, specifically increasing in discipline in it, will go hand in hand with the prayer aspect. Thank you so much ladies for organizing! You are in my prayers!" - Miranda H.


"Hi I'm Danielle, married for 3 years and blessed with two little boys since. My one year old joined me with the "hopping" exercise today and loved it! Keeping you all in my prayers! I am so happy to be a part of this group!" - Danielle F.


"The little child's voice praying the Unity prayer this morning was so adorable! I actually did Alyssa's version today of the side plank and I've been trying to go for a walk daily since the challenge started as well! Knowing others are also doing this is very encouraging for me, so thank you!" - Janine K.


"Week 1 was tough, but I have started walking every day, praying a lot more and reading Mother Teresa's "God is Love" book, which was my moms. I gave up my fav, Pepsi, and working on other of my favs to give up as the weeks go on. Thanks for keeping me accountable and thank you ladies!" - Line C.


"I just wanted to say a big thank you to the Sweaty Saints team for putting together the Lenten F+F Challenge. I liked following the videos during the Lenten season. May God continue to bless your ministry." - Marie-Reine B.
