The Weekly Fitness Challenge - "Bringing health to life!"

About The Weekly Fitness Challenge

Slogan: “Bringing health to life!”

Description: The Weekly Fitness Challenge is a dynamic team of passionate doctors, nurses, PhD’s, nutritionists, certified fitness professionals, fitness competitors, business professionals and motivational experts who are dedicated to changing the health of our nation and the world. They are all dedicated volunteers who selflessly give their time and expertise to those who need it most, inactive and sedentary at risk for catastrophic illness populations.

Mission Statement: To educate, motivate and lead people to better health through moderate exercise, enhanced nutritional intake, powerful motivation, accountability and mentorship. To develop the truest and most effective form of healthcare reform, personal responsibility!

Overview:

The World Health Organization has identified lack of physical activity as the fourth highest preventable cause of death in the world.

If you had the opportunity to help prevent illness and loss of life, would you take it? The Weekly Fitness Challenge is doing just that. This is your invitation to join us in our effort to change the future. Join us as we inspire, motivate, and empower others to better their health and fitness habits.

Campaign Overview & Significance

Our nation and every nation on this planet is in the midst of an ever increasing catastrophe of preventable premature death, preventable illnesses and preventable health conditions directly attributed to inactivity and poor nutritional habits.

Many well-intentioned programs with financial backing were designed with the notion that if health education programming is made available, people will achieve a healthier lifestyle. Evidence shows otherwise. It’s time to create an approach that actually works effectively for the long term.

So here’s the question:

How can one unfunded international team possibly be deemed credible when their model is so distinctly different than what so-called “experts” have endorsed for years?

The answer is simple. The Weekly Fitness Challenge is based in human behavioral modeling. This dynamic program engages real counter-measures based in education, motivation, leadership and mentorship.

The Weekly Fitness Challenge is a dynamic campaign designed by professionals from around the world. The Weekly Fitness Challenge team has promoted the campaign via social media up until this point. We successfully launched our first local campaign in Knoxville, TN in August of 2011; now we are into our incredible 24-month national series of local "Healthy Living" events. We are seeking volunteers and strategic partners to make these powerful events a resounding success.

The Weekly Fitness Challenge team encourages you to join us—to help us “Change the shape of the world!”

"Change the shape of America!" Coast to Coast "Healthy Living" Tour

The Weekly Fitness Challenge has declared war on preventable disease and the other preventable health conditions that can be created through lack of physical activity, poor dietary habits, lack of motivation, insufficient support network and lack of a strong mentoring relationships. The increase in Type II diabetes, many heart conditions, many forms of cancer, high blood pressure and more can largely be prevented through lifestyle modification. Our program is a perfect example of what true healthcare reform is all about. As Dr. Joe Kosterich, our International Medical Director (Australia) says, "Real health reform is helping people to be healthy not arguing over who pays for sickness ".

We have created a dynamic series of coast to coast events that are designed to educate, motivate and lead people to a much healthier lifestyle. These exciting events include educational seminars on nutrition, motivation, mentoring, mind power, childhood obesity, workforce wellness, overcoming lifestyle change failure cycles and more! The events also include motivating and inspiring exercise demonstrations in such exercise venues as ZUMBA, Les Mills Group Exercise Classes, home exercise demonstrations with tools like the incomparable "Gym in a Bag" and more!

All of this sounds great, right? Now the really big question! HOW MUCH DOES IT ALL COST? Well, that is a good question. You see The Weekly Fitness Challenge is all volunteers and is 100% unfunded. So, repeat, "How much does it cost?" The coast to coast event tour is absolutely free to all attendees! Free. No charge.

We have been asked how we can offer a coast to coast series of life changing programs like this with incredible, internationally recognized presenters for free. That is also a good question. Everything we do is either offset by sponsors, campaign contributors or out pocket by team members. We would love for you to help us those who need help the most. Join us and/or support our efforts!

The Weekly Fitness Challenge - Knoxville, TN Kick-Off "THE GIFT OF HEALTH""

The Weekly Fitness Challenge Knoxville, TN Kick-Off campaign entitled, "THE GIFT OF HEALTH" will be held August 11 - 13th, 2011. It is designed to serve all of East Tennessee in an extraordinary venue that will educate, motivate & lead people to a healthier lifestyle.

"THE GIFT OF HEALTH - A short video about the upcoming Knoxville, TN Kick-Off: http://animoto.com/play/wiwpWCjU9dtBNrTdHKW6vw

More and more people have been asking, "What exactly is The Weekly Fitness Challenge"? Good question. The Weekly Fitness Challenge is the result of more than 16 years of intensive research and trial programming into what exactly can encourage people who need to eat healthier and exercise more but are simply not ready to do that yet to change their lifestyle.

Sadly, people in these circumstances along with millions who have repeatedly failed in lifestyle modification attempts experience a very high rate of preventable disease and premature death directly attributable to their inactivity and poor nutritional habits.

The astronomical increase in obesity rates is what is generally proclaimed as the problem. While it is a problem, it is dwarfed by the millions of people who may not appear obese, but are just as unhealthy. In fact, a new measurement of obesity is called, "normal weight obesity".

Everybody knows somebody who needs to exercise more and eat healthier. Everybody knows somebody who has fallen victim to "self inflicted" disease and conditions like Type II Diabetes and many forms of heart conditions and other preventable conditions.

The problem is that billions of dollars are spent every year in the USA and globally in well intentioned efforts that quantifiably ARE NOT WORKING. How can one make such a claim? Simple. The epidemic of obesity and related ills is ever increasing.

That is where the international team of The Weekly Fitness Challenge comes in. Make no mistake about it. This dynamic, ever expanding global team is making a profound difference! Who is on this team? The team is composed of doctors, nurses, PhD's, fitness competitors, highly certified fitness professionals, body-builders, Director's of Human Resources and more. Those impressive credentials DO NOT qualify team participation. The most important ingredient for our 100% VOLUNTEER team is PASSION! They are each and every one PASSIONATE about creating positive global health change. In fact, the team slogan is, "Change the shape of the world!"

The global team is led by two distinct leadership venues. The "Executive Team" leads the team in planning and production of materials for educational, motivational and leadership purposes and campaign growth. The "Professional Development Advisory Board" is composed of very successful professionals from many walks of life who provide professional program development oversight. These two leadership entities are an extremely strong and passionate group that ensure that The Weekly Fitness Challenge continues its stellar growth and does indeed "Change the shape of the world!"

The Weekly Fitness Challenge has many components designed to educate people about "how to" change their lives. It provides incredible "how to" information on ongoing motivation and uses "mentorship" as the bedrock foundation of all that is done.
