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.
