60 Days to Summer Challenge

 Here are all the details for the 60 Days to Summer Challenge that I promised you!

60 Days to Summer Challenge

Begins: April 1st
Ends: May 31st

Requirements:

1) You must be a member of Team Revolution or a registered member of a Team Revolution Coach. If you are not currently a member, you can register for free at www.cafitclub.com (click Join and scroll down to the “free membership” button). If you are unsure, contact your Tina @ fitcoachtina@sbcglobal.net and ask if your coach is a Team Revolution Coach.

2) You must be willing to commit 110% to the 60 days of the challenge. The rules are tough but will get results!

3) You must commit to posting on the Team Revolution Message board at least once a week to check in with your progress 

4) You must post a before picture (full body) and measurements of your bicep, chest, waist, hips and thigh before the start date, at 30 days and at 60 days (after). You do NOT need to post weight unless you wish.

5) You must be taking a good multivitamin. I don’t care what brand you take and yes, Shakeology does count as a multivitamin.

Here’s how it will work:

1) You must email me (or Bryun) to tell me you meet the requirements. Be sure to tell me who your coach is. All qualifying participants will be placed on teams (yes, you can tell your friends and do this with them!).

2) Day 1 everyone will post their “before” picture and measurements on the Team Revolution message board. (The link address is above. No, do not email it to me. Yes you have to post all of it. No it cannot be on Facebook, Myspace, or the blog.)

3) It does not matter what workout you are doing but you must commit to working out 6 days a week for a minimum of 45 minutes. You should have 1 day/wk set aside to rest or stretch. Post your planned workout schedule on the message board (it can be the same post as your measurements/picture). If you need help setting up a workout plan, just email me at fitcoachtina@sbcglobal.net. A good plan would include 3 alternating days of resistance training and 3 days of cardio in addition to 1 “rest” or stretch day.  If you want suggestions on a workout program for you, you can email me or check out some links on the right for ideas.

4) All participants must post a food journal for the entire week. (You can post it daily, every few days or at the end of your week) All food journals must be posted no later than 12:00 midnight PST on Sunday. Food journals should include all food eaten, liquids drank, vitamins/supplements and workouts for each day.

5) Participants will receive 1 point for following all of the food rules each day up to 7 points/wk (see #6) and 1 point for every 45 min of workouts performed (45 min = 1 pt, 90 min = 2) for an unlimited number of points.

6) Eating rules:
     a) no more than 8 oz of caffeinated drinks daily (or 16 oz green tea), 8 oz milk, or 6 oz fruit juice (unless freshly juiced which would be 12 oz).
     b) no alcohol at all
     c) at least 1/2 body weight in oz of water (200 lbs = 100 oz water)
     d) whole grains only (must read whole grain, or 100%), no white, processed or sugary foods, nothing reading “enriched whole grain.”
     e) 6 cups of vegetables and 1-2 cups of fruits daily
     f) use only “good” fats (safflower, sunflower, olive, flax oils, flaxseed, nuts, seeds, avocado, etc)
     g) eat no more than every 3 hrs and  no eating within 2 hrs of bed (the only exception would be a 6 oz protein shake made with water and protein mix only)

7) The team with the most points each week earns 1 extra point per participant.

8) Day 30, each participant must post a 30 day photo and measurements or be eliminated. Participants earn 1 point (or fraction thereof) for each 1 inch lost and each pound lost (lbs are only measured in whole pounds).

9) There will be additional times to earn extra points (eg. Weekend Workout Blowout) which will be posted at least 1 week prior to the event.

10) Day 60, each participant must post a 60 day “after” photo and measurements. Participants earn 1 point (or fraction thereof) for each 1 inch lost and each pound lost (lbs are only measured in whole pounds). The participant with the greatest number of points wins.

If you are ready to commit and do this, email me!  We’ll get you put on a team but remember, since this is going to be a lot of one-on-one coaching, we are only taking the first 100 people to sign up!  Don’t wait!
