Point Categories


Whole Life Challenge starts TOMORROW folks! Tomorrow, Saturday September 7, you will begin the 8 week journey of by uploading your 1st measurements, completing a baseline workout, and logging your points. 

Remember, you must input your point daily. This is on you. There are 5 point categories- I have already posted about nutrition (5 maximal points daily) and exercise (2 points daily). The final 3 are Mobility, Supplementation, and Lifestyle
  1. Mobility can be ANYTHING you deem mobility, as long as it lasts 10 mins a day. Stay and stretch after your WOD at the gym for 10 mins! Use a lacrosse ball while you are watching TV! Stretch before you go to bed! Stretch when you wake up! Spend 10 mins, earn 2 points, easy as that
  2. Supplementation. Decide what supplements you are going to take, starting now, and take those everyday. Fish oil? Multivitamin? Vitamin c? Whatever it is, take it and earn 2 points. (Protein powder does not count, plus unless you are using some kind of pure eggwhite protein powder your would be loosing a nutrition point anyways, whey protein is not allowed.)
  3. Lifestyle. This category changes every once in a while on the WLC website. Stay tuned to see how to earn those points. They have released the 1st lifestyle points category. 
For weeks one and two of the challenge, starting tomorrow,
Sat, Sept 7, your lifestyle practice will be to drink 1/2 oz of water
for every pound of your bodyweight.

 - Water consumption can be in the form of water (bubbly or flat),
coconut water, or tea
 - Coffee does not count towards your daily quota of water (sorry!)
 - We strongly recommend that you consume your water slowly over
the course of your day. This is important both for how you
absorb it and for your comfort... nothing will disrupt your sleep more
than trying to consume all of your fluids at the end of the day.
 
You will continue that practice through Fri, Sept 20, meaning your
final REPORTING for that practice will be on Saturday, September 21.


If you have not emailed me your name, please do so, you have until today (FRIDAY 9/6) at 3PM to email me your name so that I can place you on a team. nicoleraustin@gmail.com
