Women Who Lift Weights · October 2026

28-Day
Dumbbell Challenge.
Make October your strongest month yet.

Grab your dumbbells. Open the WWLW App. Let’s get stronger.

Your workouts are planned, your coaching videos are ready, and every lift you log is progress you can build on. Make time for yourself—one workout at a time.

We start Monday, October 12.
Are you in?

This month, make time for your strength

You do a lot.
Let this be something you do for yourself.

It’s easy for your own workouts to slip down the list. A busy day becomes a busy week, and before you know it, you’re promising yourself you’ll start again on Monday.

Let this be that Monday. Join us for 28 days with one clear focus: show up for your strength training, follow your plan and build on the work you do.

You don’t have to overhaul your life to make a meaningful commitment to yourself. Start with your dumbbells and your next workout.

A challenge worth showing up for

Lift with a plan.
See yourself making progress.

Know what you’re doing.

Open your workout and get started. A structured program gives your training a clear direction, so you can put your energy into lifting.

Keep a record of your effort.

Log your weights, reps and completed workouts. See what you lifted last time and give yourself something to build on.

Give yourself a reason to return.

A workout completed. A movement that feels more familiar. Another week of showing up. Notice those wins—they’re part of getting stronger.

Simple to start. Simple to follow. Grab your dumbbells. Open your app. Let’s get stronger. Two dumbbells, the challenge on a phone, and a Monday October 12 calendar.

Simple equipment. Purposeful training.

Your dumbbells.
A plan you can follow.

You don’t need a room full of equipment to make your strength training count. Squats, rows, presses and more give you plenty to work on with dumbbells.

This sample workout gives you a feel for the WWLW approach: clear exercises, sets and reps, with a focus for each session. You’ll know what’s ahead before you begin.

The challenge programs live inside the app, where you can review the coaching videos and record your lifts as you go.

Take a look at Workout A. It’s from our Dumbbell Only Sample Training Week—a preview of the training style, rather than the final schedule for every challenge program.

Keep your commitment in sight

Make showing up
the win you repeat.

Put your workouts in your week. Give that time the same consideration you give your other commitments. Then take it one session at a time.

Log it. Look back. Keep going.

Tracking gives you more than a list of numbers. It’s a record of the time you made for yourself and the work you followed through on.

Enjoy noticing what changes: more confidence with an exercise, a little more weight when you’re ready, or a routine that’s becoming part of your week.

Miss a workout? You haven’t failed the challenge. Come back to your plan and focus on your next session. Your effort still counts.

Getting started is easy. 01 Download the app: sign in and get ready. 02 Choose your challenge: add your dumbbell program to your calendar. 03 Get lifting: follow your workouts and log your lifts. One app. Your plan. Let’s get stronger.
Make time for you. Make October count. Your dumbbells. Your plan. Your progress. Workouts, coaching videos and tracking—all in the WWLW App. Challenge artwork shown on an iPhone.

Your next workout is ready when you are

A little less figuring it out.
A little more getting it done.

Your program, coaching videos and workout tracking are together in the WWLW App. Review your workout, check a movement when you need to, and log what you lift.

When you come back for your next session, your training history is there to help you see where you started and what you’ve done.

Your next workout, planned.

Add your program to your calendar and see what’s coming up. Spend less time deciding what to do and more time doing something for yourself.

A little guidance goes a long way.

Watch the coaching videos when you need a reminder. See how a movement is done, then bring that guidance into your next set.

See what you’re building.

Record your weights and reps, then look back at your training history. Know what you lifted last time—and give yourself credit for showing up.

Make the commitment. Make it work for you.

Your challenge.
A schedule that fits your life.

You don’t have to train every day to take this challenge seriously. Choose a program for 2–5 training days a week, at home or in the gym. What matters is choosing a plan you can commit to and following through.

A few things you might be wondering

Ready to join us?

When do we start?

We start Monday, October 12. For 28 days, we’re making dumbbell training, consistency and progress the focus.

Do I have to work out every day?

No. This is a 28-day challenge, not 28 daily workouts. Choose a program for 2–5 training days a week and follow its schedule, including the days between workouts.

Can I do this at home?

Yes—you can train at home or in the gym. Review the exercises and equipment listed in your chosen program before you start; some workouts may use a bench.

Do I need barbells or kettlebells?

No. Dumbbells are the focus of this challenge. Choose weights that suit the exercises and your current ability.

Where do I find my program?

After joining, choose your challenge program inside the WWLW App. You’ll find your workouts, coaching videos and tracking tools there.

What if I miss a workout?

A busy day doesn’t undo your commitment. Return to your plan and keep moving forward. You’re here to build consistency, not prove you can have a perfect month.
