The Weekly Fitness Challenge is a global initiative designed to educate, motivate and lead people who are "not yet fit" to a healthier lifestyle. We engage an international Advisory Board that is designed to create action from various target groups being encouraged to support the effort. The Challenge also use scores of motivated and concerned people who help fuel the campaign through their daily efforts to promote the change that we seek to create.
The Weekly Fitness Challenge is designed to encourage people to reach out to those they know that need to exercise and are not yet doing so. Those who are not exercising regularly are the ones who fall victim to preventable illnesses and unhealthy conditions. They NEED someone who cares about to them to reach out and mentor them in the importance of exercise! Most programs are designed for regular exercisers. Our campaign is designed for the "not yet fit" as a form of prescriptive intervention designed to get them mooooving!
The easiest way to illustrate The Weekly Fitness Challenge target population is through a model like Dr. James Prochaksa's Transtheoretical Model; READ: http://bit.ly/2czYY
We encourage Regular exercisers (Maintenance types) to reach out to their friends, family members and co-workers and serve as a "mentor" in helping the person take the first steps toward regular exercise! For someone who is not a regular exerciser, there is a strong need for FUN and MOTIVATING exercise options. That is why The Weekly Fitness Challenge engages Group Exercise (some know Group Exercise as "aerobics").
While Group Exercise (Aerobics) is a GREAT place for the "not yet fit" to begin a regular exercise regimine, the best resource for true success for them is through Personal Training. The Weekly Fitness Challenge is enlisting the cooperation of the top Personal Trainers in the world to help fuel the success for the "not yet fit".
What is the single most neglected aspect of effective lifestyle modification as it relates to optimal health? Nutritional Reform! So many people begin an exercise program but fail to change the way they eat and will never create the change needed without changing the way they eat! The Weekly Fitness is engaging powerful and tasty (Always good to have TASTY options!) Nutritional Options for participants.
The Weekly Fitness Challenge campaign was created by Geoff Hampton as part of an ongoing inventory of lifestyle modification strategies that he has created and implemented starting back in the late '90's. Hampton utilizes a campaign Advisory Board in order to create a powerful synergistic effect that helps actualize maximum population engagement potential.
Folks who have either never exercise before, or have exercised before and failed need three key elements if they are to have any true hope of breaking their failure cycle and creating a TRUE success cycle:
1. The program must be FUN
2. The program must be at a specific time
3. The program must engage a support mechanism
The Weekly Fitness Challenge has engaged Twitter as a terrific source to reach out to virtually millions of people, most of whom NEED to exercise. There are other vehicles that can help promote this important message of lifestyle modification through regular exercise and we hope that everyone will join us and promote this powerful grass roots initiative! Now we have added our, "Coast to coast healthy living events"!
The anticipated outcome? Millions reaching out millions who need to exercise and eat healthier but are not yet doing so and inspiring and leading them to FUN exercise prescriptions one person at a time!
If you are wondering about whether or not YOU should get involved, simply ask youself this question, "Whose job is it to reach out to those who need to exercise and are not yet doing so?" THE ANSWER? It is all of us together! NOBODY else is going to do it! That's right! There is no "RED PILL", there is no "BLUE PILL" that people can take and suddenly become regular exercisers! So JOIN US!
