DAILY DORA

THE DAILY DORA 1-2-3 CHALLENGE

Starting January 1st, 2026, we’re kicking off the Daily Dora 1-2-3 Challenge – a year-long commitment to consistent fitness and accountability. This is about showing up every single day and putting in the work, no matter where you are or what else is going on.

The Challenge

Every day in 2026, complete a Dora 1-2-3:

• • 100 reps of Exercise 1
• • 200 reps of Exercise 2
• • 300 reps of Exercise 3

You can break up the reps however you want (10 rounds of 10-20-30, straight through, whatever works). The goal is to accumulate the total reps each day.

Recommended Exercise Combinations

• Classic: 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBCs
• Upper Body Focus: 100 Merkins, 200 Overhead Presses, 300 Curls
• Leg Day: 100 Burpees, 200 Lunges (total), 300 Squats
• Core Crusher: 100 Merkins, 200 Plank Jacks, 300 Flutter Kicks

You can rotate combinations or stick with one – your call. Just get it done.

Tips for Success

1. Stack it with an existing habit – Do it right after your morning coffee or before your shower
2. Break it into chunks – 10 rounds of 10-20-30 is easier mentally than staring down 600 total reps
3. Recruit a partner – Text a PAX member when you’re done each day for accountability
4. Don’t break the chain – Mark an X on a calendar every day you complete it. The chain becomes motivation.
5. Plan for travel – Hotel room, airport terminal, rest stop – no excuses

Recording Your Progress

Post in our Slack channel:

• • Daily check-ins (even just "✓ Day 47 complete")
• • Weekly summaries with your combo and any wins/struggles
• • Monthly milestone celebrations (30 days, 60 days, etc.)

Personal tracking options:

• • Use a simple calendar and mark each completed day
• • Track in a notes app or spreadsheet
• • Take a daily photo of yourself immediately after finishing

Motivational Fuel

• "The only bad workout is the one you didn’t do."
• "Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most."
• "You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."
• "Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out."
• "When you feel like quitting, remember why you started."

The Bottom Line

This is 365 days of showing up. Some days you’ll crush it. Some days you’ll grind through it. But every day, you’ll finish it. That’s what separates the HIMs from the spectators.
