6 Reasons Why You Should Join A Challenge Group

1) It’s a supportive community.

Many people aren’t able to commit to workouts long term because they aren’t receiving enough support from home.  If they are new to exercise, then they will feel sore and it can be uncomfortable and discouraging.  When you reach out in the small challenge group and find out that other people are going through the same discomfort, then you are more likely to continue your workouts regularly.  You can talk about what you are doing to ease the soreness (icing, stretching etc.).  More importantly, your supportive community also holds you accountable.

2) A coach will lead and guide you.

If you are smart enough to join a challenge group with a coach (like the kind I run), then you have direction and focus within your group.  You will also have someone to convey your emotions, pains and joys to.  Someone will be there to answer your questions and guide you if you need a little extra help.  If you have a coach, you will feel like you have a responsibility not only to yourself to succeed, but to your coach, and to your challenge group community.

3) Keeps you motivated and focused.

When you first join a challenge group, you are going to realize that everyone has one goal in common, whatever the reasons, and that is to finish the program.  As you continue your program, you will come to realize the reasons behind the goal and develop relationships with each other.  And that keeps you focused and motivated.  Your new friends will be there to encourage you, motivate you and remind you why you started.  Do you need to change your blood pressure or cholesterol?  Do you want to be a role model for your children? Whatever the reason, between your friends and your coach, you will always feel inspired.

4) A challenge groups is for anyone and everyone, no matter where they are in their health journey.

I can see some of you now rolling your eyes at me.  “It’s not for everyone, I can’t do that.”  Of course you can.  There are programs out there for all levels and comforts, like Slim n’ 6, P90, P90X, Insanity, Tai Chi, Focus T25, etc.  I know for a fact that people of all shapes, sizes and abilities have followed through with all of those programs.  It’s easy with the support network of a challenge group and a coach (like me).

5) It will challenge you.

Let’s face it, we’ve all at one point and time said things like, “I wish I could do that,” or, “I wish I could just stick it through, but I know I can’t.”  Changes and challenges can be scary.  But, you know what?  You CAN do anything!  When you join a group or a community that sticks by your side and encourages you every single day, you CAN make it through, and you WILL!  Join one of my challenge groups and let me help you realize what you can accomplish. 

6) Results will happen.

I guarantee that if you were to follow a challenge group through to the end, you will notice a difference.  You will have more energy, feel better, and feel SO accomplished.  And in the end, your accomplishment is something NOBODY can ever take away from you.
