8 Weeks to a New You

CrossFit Bartlett is one of hundreds of CrossFit Affiliates nationwide who will be participating in the challenge that is open to friends and family members of CrossFit members.

An administration fee of $45 is all that’s required of each participant. The challenge officially begins on Saturday, February 16 and concludes on Saturday, April 13. In between those dates, participants will attempt to get in the best shape of their lives, winning points along the way.

The Whole Life Challenge is an 8-week health and fitness game that asks each contestant to evaluate every aspect of their life and change the habits or add the habits they need to better their entire lives.

Each participant will be have their measurements taken and perform a baseline workout prior to the challenge’s start to help each athlete understand their starting points.

Each athlete will enhance their lives by doing daily activities, or not doing certain activities. They will log these activities online, receive points for positive behaviors and conversely points will be lost when a contestant engages in negative behaviors.

How the Challenge Works

The Whole Life Challenge is an 8-week health and fitness game designed for you to see what kind of impact you can have on your body, fitness, and lifestyle if you commit yourself to a specific structure. There are three categories for the game – Performance Results, Physical Results, and Lifestyle and Accountability. This is not just a ?change your body? challenge. It is a ?who you are? challenge! Nutrition, workouts, mobilization, supplements, daily accounting, community engagement — if you play all out you won?t believe the results you can get!

1. GET REGISTERED

Go to the?CFB-WLC website?from now until February 15 and create your account and pay for the challenge. The fee for entering the challenge is $45

2. CHALLENGE PRELIMS

Clear rules?? Knowing what actions to take.

You will know exactly what to do and what not to do for 8 weeks. This game provides clear and unambiguous rules for your nutrition and daily physical requirements. You will know if you have followed the rules or not, and will notice how how well you stick to your rules (your score on the leaderboard) determines your results. Most importantly, you don?t have to be ?perfect!? By making an honest daily effort and earning bonus points, you will learn how being present and having a dedicated practice gives you the freedom to have it all – vibrant health?and a life you love to live!

Tracking and scoring?? Being present daily to the daily effectiveness of your performance.

You will track your effectiveness every day by scoring yourself on the challenge website based on how closely you followed the rules of the game. Scoring daily, you will stay present to your actions and the results you get day by day. You will see your effectiveness score every day on the leaderboard and you will have the chance to see your effectiveness increase as you train yourself.

Community?? Not doing it alone.

You will be engaged with thousands of people who are up to the same thing you are – figuring out how to make it work, succeeding step-by-step, sharing what?s working and what?s not working, and giving you the support you need to step outside your comfort zone. You will be able to see?where everyone else in the challenge is at any moment. There is nowhere on the leaderboard that is the ?winner?s zone.? Rather, it?s the place for you to track where things currently are for you. Wherever you are, you are not alone!

The Whole Life Challenge works by giving you a well-defined structure to follow, a concrete method for tracking your daily actions and results, and a community of people encouraging your success by supporting you in keeping your eye on the ball every day. Play full out and you can’t lose!

The game consists of four areas: Nutrition, Workout, Mobilization, supplementing with Fish oil.

Workout?? In this challenge you will train EVERY DAY. The minimum requirement for your workout is 10 minutes of active recovery. That means that even if you are taking a day off from intense workouts, you must still engage in at least 10 minutes of activity (e.g. jogging, skating, biking, yoga, etc). Intensity is not the goal, consistency is. You will earn 2 points for your workout each day.
Mobilization?? Stretch or mobilize for 10 minutes every day. You will earn 2 points for mobilizing each day.

Your fish oil supplement need not comply with the nutrition rules (wheat, corn, soy, artificial ingredients, etc). You will earn 1 point each for taking a fish oil supplement each day.
Report Your Score?? Every day during the challenge, starting Sunday, February 17, log into the WLC website and report your score for the previous day on the worldwide scoreboard. You must log your score by 9pm. Scoring will be closed from 9pm and midnight and will re-open again at midnight. The deadlines are local to wherever a player is; they are not dependant on their home location.
Challenge Finale?? Saturday, April 13. We will repeat the prelim?s measurements and workout. You will be ranked according to your improvement in both areas as a part of the determination of your overall ranking in your affiliate. If you cannot make the finals, be sure to schedule a make-up with Justin.
Bonus Points -?You will have the chance to earn 1 point each day in lifestyle practices like consistency, sleep, water, and mindfulness in a rotating category. That means that for 2 weeks at a time you will have a final ‘yes or no’ question to answer on you check in page (don’t worry, they will warn you of the rotation in advance!) Every 2 weeks, you will complete tracking one of the 4 practices and the rule will rotate to something else.
Winners?? Winners will be determined at each CrossFit gym. You will only be competing against the members of CFB. Your improvement rankings will be combined with your ranking on the scoreboard to determine the final winners. Number of winners and prizes will be determined by your affiliate.?You must choose ‘PRESCRIBED’ in each category to be eligible for prizes!
