The 30 Day Squeeze is a James Bond inspired lifestyle challenge. Designed to help anyone to become a better version of themselves, without the intensity or intimidation of traditional fitness programs. Over 30 days, participants earn points by completing simple daily missions like walking 1 mile, exercising at their own pace, stretching, making healthy food choices, avoiding alcohol and processed sugar, eating a fermented food, reading, and completing weekly Combat Training. It's beginner friendly, forgiving if you miss a day, and built around consistency rather than perfection. Whether you're a lifelong Bond fan or simply looking for a fun, mission based way to improve your health, the 30 Day Squeeze invites you to train like an agent, think like Bond, and squeeze more into your life, one mission at a time.
