What is the Well & Fit Community Challenge?

This might help explain what happens at the challenge and our expectations:

v  Attend class.  This 12 week session will be split into two 6 week sessions; 
                             
                              First Session ~ 11/1/12 to 12/13/12,
                              Break ~ 12/20/12 to 1/24/13
                                    Second Session ~ 1/31/13 to 03/07/13

v  Write three 12 week smart goals: 1. Physical Fitness Goal 2. Nutrition 3. Personal Growth.    

v  Write a one week smart intention each week to move you toward your 12 week goals. For example: I will eat one piece of fruit with breakfast.  

Ø  The intentions will be carried over each week. So that by the end of the challenge you have 12 personalized steps that you are working on, to take you closer to your overall goal of improved health and fitness.  For example:  Week 1. I will eat one piece of fruit for breakfast. Week 2. I will be on time to work. Week 3. I will run at least 20 steps of my 20 minute walk. This means week 3 you are actually eating a piece of fruit for breakfast, arriving on time to work and running 20 steps…

v  Be active at least 20 consecutive minutes daily.  This is above and beyond your usual daily activity. You will be given 3 programs for fitness that can be adapted to the individual. We expect you to do these as well. One of them will count as part of your 20 min the other two will be in addition to.

v  You will also be given focused nutrition information each week. We expect you will take this information and make specific adjustments to your normal nutritional habits.

v  Read the “Well & Fit Community Challenge Blog at www.hainesak.com, (under local blogs) ~ comments always welcome ~ this will earn you one extra ticket for the weekly drawing. 

v  If weight loss is a goal we encourage you to keep a daily log of your intake through a food tracker or nutrition journal. This can be simply writing each item down in the blank journal provided or using an online tracker.
