The Challenge of Challenge Creating

We just dropped a new challenge for the month of April and we are can-barely-contain-ourselves excited for this one. It was a labor of love to create. It was created and recreated three times over. It was added to and subtracted from and was borne of scribbles and scratch notes and morphed into something challengingly pretty.

Community challenges are a vibe for us. For a few reasons. We love reaching out to people to engage with them regarding their health and fitness goals and the what-are-you-doing-to-achieve-those-goals, Stephanie?? You can’t just tell people about them!

We love utilizing our creativity to combine things we love with things we don’t so much love and forcing a combination of those things into a semblance of how can we make this a little bit fun, a little bit work and something that will actually DO SOMETHING for someone’s life?

Which is the real kicker. We could put out 30-day challenges every single month of the year. Heck a simple Google search will produce many challenges you can join supporting a variety of organizations or causes. You could do any one or multiple of those. But we want more. Something more. Something you have to sink your teeth into and not just say you’re going to do it and fall off in the second week like some New-Year’s-Resolution-gone-May. It has to be workable. But it has to push you as well. Without those two components, it’s pretty paper. And worse, it will bring no value and certainly no change to your lifestyle.

Which is, the ultimate goal for a challenge. Finding a balance between hard-enough-to-challenge you but not so-stinking-difficult-I’m-not-doing-even-half-of-this. We want you to do this with us. So it has to be doable. But challenging.

So challengingly doable.

Doable-ly challenging.

Does that make sense?

No? Well, how about this? Give this some thought. Are you in the mood for something that pushes you a little bit? A little voice in your head nagging at you to do one thing better. Just one little thing better each day than you maybe did it the day before.

We want to be that little voice. But you have to sign up to do this with us - otherwise we’re just talking to ourselves here.

…Not as though that’s uncommon, but hey, we don’t need you harping at us about that. We already talk to ourselves about it enough.
