Saturday 01.16.16
It’s time to kick start healthier habits, and a great way to do it is to participate in the 626 Nutrition Challenge. In short, you eat clean, cut out the crap, get 8 hours of sleep, train hard, and do it all consistently for 8 weeks.
The challenge will be run from 1/23/16 to 3/19/16 (8 weeks).
The Details:
1. There will be one male and one female winner based on Most Improved body composition; this means body fat percentage loss, and muscle mass gained. For example, if Cinderella started with 30% body fat, and ended with 15% body fat, she would’ve lost 50% of her body fat; the same equation goes for lean body mass. For example, if Aladdin started at 100 lbs of LBM and ended with 110 lbs of LBM, he would’ve gained 10% LBM. Your score will be the two percentages combined, and the highest score wins. There will be a male and female to be crowned the 2016 Nutrition Challenge, and will share the prize pot. Other categories will include Most Fat Loss, and Most Muscle Mass gained.
2. Family and friends are welcome to enter in the challenge, as they play a big role in your lifestyle. They are encouraged to participate to not only support you, but also, to become healthier themselves.
3. Body composition tests will be done pre and post challenge. Pre-challenge body composition testing on either Friday 1/22 between 4pm-7pm or Saturday 1/23 between 7am-10am. Sign up with a coach or email Pam. If you can’t make the testing on Friday or Saturday, please email Pam at pam@crossfit626.com to schedule an appointment. Please keep in mind that the test requires no eating and no exercise 2 hours prior to testing. Testing protocols can be found here.
4. Before and after pictures should be taken. No, you don’t have to show anyone, it’s just one way to measure progress. And who knows, in the end you may want to show off that hotty body you achieved 🙂
5. There are no rules to how/what/where/when you eat/sleep/drink/workout during the 8 weeks of the challenge. However, it is suggested that you eat paleo for the first 4 weeks of the challenge. During the second 4 weeks, it’s up to you. I recommend a high sugar/fat/carb/alcohol diet so I can win.
6. Post challenge body composition tests must be completed on or before 3/19/15 with Pam. Failure to test on time will result in forfeiture of any prizes. Sign up with a coach.
Entry fee for the challenge is $125. (That covers your pre and post body composition test and the remaining $75 goes to the prize pot.) SIGN-UP for the Challenge HERE on Zenplanner.
