5 reasons to join a fitness challenge…
To build a workout habit, you have to be consistent. But how? When life is busy and allows for so many excuses? How can you stay motivated when it’s so easy for the mojo to melt away? The answer is to find a community of likeminded people and find accountability in the group. Join a challenge:
1: It Gives Purpose to Working Out
If you have a purpose, you have a much better chance at sticking with something long enough to see results. You have a specific date range or specific goal that you’re committed to and are able to keep that in your mind when you want to skip workouts.
2: It's Better Together
Solo fitness can be boring. Having a team around you where everyone is on the same journey is exciting and fun. You get accountability and support and you get to give accountability and support. Both build momentum and keep you excited about your fitness.
And let’s face it, sometimes a little friendly competition is a good thing. It’s not about winning or losing but doing your best to hit your personal goals knowing others around you are doing the same!
3: Fitness Is More Manageable
Exercise is a LIFELONG commitment and results don’t happen over night.
Those two statements, while true, can seem overwhelming. Instead of thinking about the lifelong journey ahead, challenges have you micro-manage your fitness with a 6-week block. And micro challenges within that block. Suddenly getting fit is not so daunting.
4: You Have A Plan
You are given a plan; all the guess work is taken out and all you have to do is follow that plan. It is an awesome way to increase your fitness, get extra training support and make things EASY.
5: Break Out of Plateaus
And the final reason challenges are a good thing… you get results. If you are currently working out but have noticed you aren’t seeing results, it’s time for a change. A challenge offers a new piece to the fitness puzzle to help break down plateaus by adding extra movement, exercise, or nutritional elements that you were not currently doing. These new pieces could just be what it takes to drive bigger and better results.
