New Year = New You
“If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you” -Zig Ziglar
Change can be challenging. Yet without a challenge, there can’t be change. With 2016 right around the corner, the new year brings new opportunity for new starts, new goals, new challenges… new change.
Every New Year CrossFit Austin has offered a challenge to kickstart the goal setting in fitness and nutrition for all those up for it. 2016 will be our 2nd year hosting a team for The Whole Life Challenge. Last year, we saw some awesome results and had great time working through the challenges & celebrating our weekly wins with our teammates. We hope you’ll consider joining us on this journey again!
Whole Life Challenge is part fitness, part nutritional and body composition, and part accountability challenges. Our goals for each 2016 Whole Life Challenger are:
- Mental + emotional preparation for the longevity of a healthy lifestyle {awareness + action}
- Individual fitness gains
- Creation of lasting habits for individualized nutritional and body composition success
- Physical & nutritional preparation for the 2016 CrossFit Open
You + Whole Life Challenge = Team CrossFit Austin
Challenge = Change // Goals = Gains
While everyone wants to look and feel better, it can be a challenge to know how or where to start. The Whole Life Challenge focuses you on the key areas of your life that produce real, life long changes. Playing together with your friends and family in a fun and motivating daily game, you’ll create new healthy habits that last long after it ends.
The Whole Life Challenge focuses on 7 daily habits that you will learn and create for yourself as you journey through.
These 7 Daily Habits are:
-
- Nutrition. Your food choices have the single greatest impact on your health, well-being, and community. When you make choices that keep you healthy, you give yourself the fuel to fulfill all of who you are. {Choose the level that is right for you}
- Exercise. Humans are designed to move daily. Whether through workouts, activity, or simply enjoying the full use of your body, daily movement keeps you healthy and vital.
- Mobility. In a sedentary world, our bodies get stuck. Daily mobility and stretching helps you move the way nature intended and continue enjoying freedom of movement into your later years.
- Sleep. Modern schedules tend to dictate how many hours of sleep we’re entitled to. A practice of increasing that time, even by a little bit, can make big strides in robust health.
- Hydration. More than anything, your body is made of water. This habit ensures that your body gets enough of its most basic resources for life.
- Lifestyle Practice. The {WLC weekly lifestyle practices} turn a life into your life. Learn to step back, take stock, connect, and turn your attention to what is really important to you.
- Reflection. Looking back, looking inward, or looking forward, daily reflection draws your awareness to what is working and what needs your attention today.
{How Do I Play?}
The {Challenge} begins with taking your preliminary measurements and completing a scalable workout that will be repeated at the end.
