Whole Life Challenge

Starting September 7, 2013 the gym will be participating in an online challenge/game called the Whole Life Challenge! All the information for the Whole Life Challenge can be found on their easy to use website
Whole Life Challenge
Crossfit recognizes the extreme importance of nutrition to success.

Do this quick equation... (I know, it's MATH, you can do it, I'll make it easy ;) )

Number of hours spent training/week = ___
Number of hours in the week = 168
Divide your number of training hours by the hours in the week (training hours/week hours)
Multiply that result by 100
ie) I work out in 4 crossfit classes a week.  4/168 = 0.024
    0.024x100 = 2.4

In this example you can see that only 2.4% of your week is spent in the gym. What about the other 97.6% of the time?? That is your day to day living time. What are you doing during that time? Are you eating for success? Are you sleeping enough? Are you mobilizing? The reason we are starting with the Whole Life Challenge is because it will address all these issues. Even if you are putting in A LOT of effort in the gym, if you want to reach your goals you have to put the time in at home too.

As mentioned before, all the pertinent information is on the WLC website. Familiarize yourself with the rules and FAQs. You will notice that day 1 = measurements and photos. I will be at CFME on Thursday 9/5 from 11a-1p and again Friday from 4p-5p, 7p-7:30p to take photos and measure you if you would like.  You can definitely do this at home. You are not required to do these at the gym.

The second thing I would like to mention is there is an option of having a team on the website. We are going to create teams for the 8 week challenge. Depending on how many people sign up, I would like to create teams of 5-7 people. Team work ensures that there are a second set of eyes on you and promotes success. If you are participating, please email me your name by 3pm on Friday 9/6 at nicoleraustin@gmail.com  I will send you your  team mates by Friday 10pm. This way you will have their names when you register on the website.

To recap, here are the things you need to do.
1. Check out www.wholelifechallenge.com
2.Get yourself weighed/measured, photographed
3.Send me your name if you are participating
4. Await which team you will be on
5. SIGN UP!! You must do this individually, as there is a 49$ sign up fee (fee from the website)

Stay tuned for more information!
