Headstand T-shirt challenge
As the name indicates, this challenge is to be able to put on a t-shirt while doing a headstand.
To begin with, get in a handstand position with your feet balanced against the wall and your t-shirt on the floor.
Now try to put on your t-shirt while remaining in the handstand position.
This challenge will test your balance and your core muscle strength.

Clock leg challenge
This is for those who like to show off their flexible legs.
This challenge requires you to stand on one leg while the other leg is moved around like a clock hand.
Participants showcase their incredible dexterity skills as they gracefully move their legs to simulate the passage of time, skillfully touching each numeral in an imaginary clock around them.
Bottle balance challenge
Place a bottle on the outside of your foot while standing on one leg and extending the other out to the side.
The ultimate goal is to pop the bottle off and kick it away before it reaches the ground. Some people attempt to hold the bottle there for as long as they can.
It all comes down to timing, core stability, and balance.
It is all about balance
Partner plank challenge
For this one, you will need a partner. The exercises then begin fairly standard with synchronized plank up-downs, jacks, and shoulder taps.
Then, things get challenging as you and your partner switch positions, with one rolling underneath and the other leaping over the top.
Be careful while doing the position swaps as you don’t want to unintentionally knock out your partner.
Treadmill model walk
The treadmill model walk challenge was the ideal fusion of fashion and fitness, cardio and catwalk.
The trend aimed to make treadmill walking appear extremely graceful.
The challenge adds a touch of glamour to treadmill walking, with participants imitating models walking the ramp while trying their best to maintain balance and posture, and breaking a sweat.
