The Weekly Fitness Challenge - Leading the "not yet fit" to success!

As we all surely know by now, there is a largely preventable international health crisis that can be directly linked to inactivity and poor eating habits. It includes many types of afflictions and resulting consequences that in most cases are preventable such as many forms of heart disease, stroke, many types of cancer, type II diabetes and others.

Where do we even begin to try to resolve this crisis? The Weekly Fitness Challenge is a very powerful counter measure and we encourage YOU to join us!

Why The Weekly Fitness Challenge? This dynamic international campaign represents a great opportunity to create powerful change within our world cultures. You know, the cultures which seem to breed the continuation and expansion of this preventable crisis. People who are "Not yet fit" generally "wish" they could change. The problem is that almost every attempt ends up in failure. A failure cycle begins to evolve and after several failure cycles the deep seated expectation becomes FAILURE. They still "wish" for success, but fear failure.

The simple sounding answer for those who face so many failure cycles is lifestyle modification. It sounds so simple, but it is not not. Our campaign is designed to more effectively deal with the health issues related to sedentary living and poor nutrition and create real success cycles for participants.

Most well intentioned people and organizations have a tendency to imagine that somebody else will solve the tragedy. Or, they fall prey to their false assumptions of what the outcomes of their well intentioned efforts will be. When most fail to achieve their established outcome criteria they end their efforts to the detriment of all who participated. Why? Because failure is reinforced.

Who are the ones primarily at risk for the dire consequences of living a sedentary life that includes lack of regular exercise and poor nutritional habits? The "Not yet fit". Fit people have substantially lower rates of controllable illness and preventable disease. Since that is quantifiably true, why doesn't everybody do like the already fit and exercise regularly and eat in a healthy manner? Because somebody needs to deliver a lot more education, motivation and leadership for those who are "not yet fit" to take the first steps to living a healthier lifestyle! Did I say, "Educate, motivate and lead"? Uh huh. That is the slogan of The Weekly Fitness Challenge and that is our guiding principle.

Does that mean that nobody else is doing anything? NO. But it does mean that our campaign has gained tremendous international support and we are moving forward fast and making a profound difference in awareness of the need for regular exercise and proper nutritional intake.

That was our first step. To create large scale awareness. The next step is to power up our campaign and include outcome measurement and daily exercise and nutritional tracking for participants. We are in Phase I of our three phase plan to create global movement to true health care reform. Phase I included promotion via Twitter ( www.Twitter.com/weeklyfitnessch ), FaceBook ( http://www.facebook.com/WeeklyFitnessChallenge ) and other manual methods of contact to encourage others to join our cause. It all began in May of 2009 as one single Tweet on Twitter and has grown at an unbelievable rate across the globe!

Phase I included the introduction of strong social media messaging and the website www.geoffhampton.org.

Phase I will also include an international campaign to educate, motivate and lead the wellness and fitness industry to a better understanding of what new "not yet fit" members really need if they are to have any chance of successfuly changing their level of inactivity. Simply joining a club does not change the behavior that lead to their level of inactivity and many fail immediately after joining due to ineffective programming and false assumptions about what they really need to get started. The new slogan "Exercise is medicine" will simply become another "bait and switch" method designed to lure "not yet fit" customers into the business if no serious reconfiguration of new member intial programming is made.

Phase II will include website upgrades that will offer outcome measurement capabilities, meal planning, exercise options and exercise and daily food intake tracking capabilities. During Phase II we will begin to recruit and entertain sponsorships from related business entities that share our passion to create positive global health care change. We will also begin to actively seek funding from other sources as we add marketing and promotion and additional international resources to our campaign.

Phase III will begin the recruitment of an expanded team of international professionals to help promote and implement the various elements of the campaign throughout the world. The positions will include State, Regional, National and more global postions that will help fuel the campaign.

We hope that you will join us and help promote the campaign to all those you know! It is an exciting opportunity to what ANYBODY could have done, but NOBODY did! WE WILL!
