Hey McKinley!

The next challenge is….”The Biggest IMPROVER” challenge.  I received some requests to have a Biggest Loser contest, but I wanted the challenge to appeal to as many of you as possible.  So, instead of just focusing on “weight loss”, there will be a “strength” and a “cardio” category as well.  There will be 3 winners, one for each category.  The person who has made the Biggest Improvement based on percentage will win and $40 gift card to their choice of grocery store or restaurant!

This is how it will work:
1. Choose from one or more of the categories below what you want to improve on
2. On day 1 of the challenge you will need to email me your name, what you’re choosing to improve on and your current weight, 10 rep max, 1 mile time or 10 lap time.  Here are three examples:
Sally Smith:
Bench Press, 10 rep max = 135lbs
Sherry Ross:
Weight Loss, 165lbs
John Morris
1 mile time = 9:47min
3. The challenge will last for 6 weeks.  On the last day of the challenge you will need to email me your final weight, 10 rep max, 1 mile or 10 lap time

Categories:

1. Weight Loss

2. Strength:
Bench Press : 10 rep max
Push-ups :  max amount of reps in 60 sec.
Squats : 10 rep max
