This is a great challenge if you want something to:

• motivate and guide you to lose weight over winter
• help keep you motivated to exercise during the colder months
• increase your fitness levels. 

At this time of the year it’s easy to drift into hibernation mode and let summer’s good habits fall by the wayside. I’m here to help you head into winter fighting fit with my 6-week challenge. There are several tools offered for you to use, none of which are compulsory. 

HOW IT WORKS: 

There are 2 categories to choose from: WEIGHT LOSS CATEGORY or the FITNESS CATEGORY. Both of these have several tools offered for you to use. 

WEIGHT LOSS CATEGORY:

• A PDF booklet that has accountability worksheets in it to fill out over the duration of the challenge. Each sheet has a table, containing all the different aspects of a healthy lifestyle (for example, having no sugar, no alcohol, eating green veggies, doing 30 minutes of exercise, drinking water, etc), and each of these has a different point value. At the end of each day you add in the points for each healthy habit that you managed to do, and at the end of each week add up the tally.

• A healthy food list for you to create your balanced meals from.

• Access to an exclusive, secret Facebook group, where you will be motivated and held accountable by the rest of the challengers.
  

• Optional weekly weigh-ins (from 6:15pm on a Monday night, before the Circuit class). You can also earn points for weight lost for that week...however, points will be deducted if you gain over a certain amount of weight from your last weigh-in. You cannot earn weight-loss points until you are back at your lowest weight. The initial and final weigh-ins are compulsory to be eligible for the 1st place prize.

The 1st place prize will be judged from the OVERALL PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT LOST, not actual kilos.

FITNESS CATEGORY:

• A PDF booklet that has worksheets in it to fill out over the duration of the challenge. Each sheet has a table, containing all the different aspects of a healthy lifestyle (for example, having no sugar, no alcohol, eating green veggies, doing 30 minutes of exercise, completing your weekly exercise task, drinking water, etc), and each of these has a different point value. At the end of each day you add in the points for each healthy habit that you managed to do, and at the end of each week add up the tally.

• A healthy food list for you to create your balanced meals from.

• There is FITNESS TESTING at the beginning of the challenge (this commences prior to my Monday circuit class) - you will partner up with someone who will count the amount of repetitions of an exercise that you can do in 1 minute (Push-ups to test your upper body strength, Sit-ups to test your abdominal strength, and Squats to test your lower body strength). You will repeat the exercises at the end of the 6 weeks, to compare results. If you are unable to complete 1 of the exercises, you can just be tested on the remaining 2, so all fitness levels and abilities are able to do it. The results will be based on a % OF IMPROVED REPETITIONS, not actual amount of reps. 

• Access to an exclusive, secret Facebook group, where you will be motivated and held accountable by the rest of the challengers.

• You will receive a booklet with 6 weeks of daily exercise tasks, that increase in duration throughout the challenge. This is designed to help increase your fitness levels, if that is what you are aiming for..it's also a great little workout that you can do at home if you can't get out the house to exercise.  :)

•  If weight loss or maintenance is a goal, then there is the option of weighing in..at the start of the challenge, and at the end of the challenge, although this is just for your own accountability.

The 1st-place prize will be judged by the OVERALL PERCENTAGE OF IMPROVED REPETITIONS OF ALL 3 EXERCISES.
