“Best Shape of My Life!” Nutrition Challenge
From January 9th until February 5th, we’re challenging you to get into the best shape of
your life. During these four weeks we’re going to reward you for good behaviors and
punish you for bad behaviors. We’re going to require a lot in order to participate, but in
exchange you are going to earn the ability to say you gave it your all and made positive steps towards health and performance. We’ll give you the data to back it up too. Here’s the details:
The challenge will run for four weeks. In order to compete for the prizes, you must
complete the following: pre/post pictures, pre/post body composition measurements, pre/post vitals, pre/post benchmark workout and pre/post Challenge blood work (only required for specific prize eligibility and to see supreme awesomeness in your insides.) The cost of this challenge is $100, which includes the cost of blood work ($30 pre/$30 post) which is ideally following 10-12 hours fasting, but be consistent pre and post-challenge for the best results. Buy-in has to be either via check or cash (because we know you’re gonna get it back!)
