What the what??
You may sign up as an individual or as a duo wishing to be on the same team. Teams will be made up of three people, but we will not allow any group of three to sign up as their whole team. Singles or doubles only. The remainder of teams will be put together at random (we reserve the right to split up a duo if registered late). The point of the team is to act as an accountability group/ motivational group. If you keep each other on track enough, you could be the winning team for compliance.
A spreadsheet will be shared with all participating to keep track of points, they should be logged daily. So how do you get points? For simply being compliant for the day. Yup, that’s it, one point per day per person. Compliant with what though? This will be person dependent. This is a nutritional challenge, so we need to have a nutritional goal, they can be as precise as weighing and measuring food to hit macros or zone blocks, they can be hand/ eye quantities, they can even be as simple as “I need to have a vegetable at every meal”. These goals will be incredibly dependent on where you currently are in your nutrition journey. Our goal is for you to be successful in these 6 weeks. If you have never weighed and measured your food before, and you have never addressed the quality of food you eat, it may be far too much to take on both in the next six weeks. The best starting place is quality food sources, the next step would be basic hand/ eye, and after that we can start busting out a scale and getting really precise.
Have no fear folks, because before the start of this challenge we would love to help you establish what your 6 week goal is. I will be at Verve Monday night during the evening Open Gym (7:30pm-9pm) to answer any and all questions. If you cannot make that time, please email me.
It’s go time folks! Get signed up today and start getting those daily compliance points!!
