This isn’t a spontaneous workout post but part of a structured fitness initiative that Katic launched recently. Based on her previous Instagram posts, the actress initiated the #AFitterFunnerMe challenge around April 21, designed as a four-week program ending May 18.
Katic first proposed the challenge in mid-April, describing it as a “group invitation to dedicate time each day for physical activity that boosts health (both physical & mental).” The concept encourages participants to commit to various activities such as running, swimming, cycling, hiking, or weight training, followed by daily check-ins on Instagram.
In her day one update posted earlier, Katic revealed her personal plan for the month: “Weight training, running, hikes & yoga.” She also mentioned working with trainer Jordan F (@jordanfperform) for her weight training sessions.

The actress has emphasized the community aspect of this challenge, regularly engaging with followers who participate. In her latest post, she expressed gratitude for the shared experience: “I’m grateful to be here, tho. Grateful I get to do this with all of you.” She even encouraged interaction by asking followers to “Drop an emoji & let me know how you’re all doing,” sharing that her current feeling was represented by the “💥” explosion emoji.
Her day two update showcased outdoor activity, with Katic noting, “Nature’s a real show off this time of year. It’s a relief going out to see her perform live & in person.” This reflects her holistic approach to fitness that incorporates outdoor activities and appreciation for nature.
