Pre-Summer Slim Down Challenge
Challenge begins May 2

A tighter, toned, thin mid-section is yours if you complete this challenge! In four short weeks, you will be tighter and smaller - where it counts! Your jeans will fit comfortably and you'll look lean and sexy by Valentine's Day!

This comprehensive and effective challenge will tighten your mid-section by helping you lose belly fat and tone your abs! It combines the fun and accessibility of a short-term challenge as well as the accountability and success factor of coaching.

You'll get progressive daily workouts that you can do independently or combined with your regular workout for extra effectiveness. Workouts can be done at home or at your gym. No extra equipment is needed. You'll also have weekly nutrition challenges that make all the difference in fat loss. Best of all, you'll have a coach by your side (via email) to answer questions, keep you motivated, and make sure you start your 2016 with SUCCESS!

The workouts are challenging but doable whether you are just getting started or have exercised for years. The workouts include short videos to make sure you're performing the exercises correctly. Your coach will help you modify exercises if necessary. The workout portion of this challenge combines cardio, interval training, and toning (specifically core exercises.)

As with all Challenge: Charity challenges, 50% of what you pay goes directly to help better the life of someone else. For this challenge, 50% of revenues will go to buildOn to build a primary school in Nepal. As a team member of this challenge, you'll be entitled to continuing updates on the progress of the fundraising as well as the building of school so that you'll see the good that your money is doing!

200 Mile Trekking Challenge
Challenge begins February 22

I challenge YOU to walk 200 miles

We aren't counting steps. This isn't about parking a little further away from the grocery store or getting up from your desk more often (although those are good things.) This is about putting one foot in front of the other and deliberately walking miles. It is about connecting with your neighborhood, local trails, urbanscapes, parks. It is about exploring the world around you, delighting in the details that can only be seen on-foot, discovering a deeper life experience.

Challenge: Charity's 200 Mile Trekking Challenge begins Monday, February 22. You need nothing but a good pair of walking shoes, commitment, a sense of adventure, and a desire to be stronger, leaner, healthier.

Here are the details:
200 Mile Trekking Challenge

• February 22 - June 5: 15 weeks to walk 200 miles. That's 105 days, so challenge teammates will average 2 miles per day with 5 days off.
• All walks done on your schedule at your desired location. This challenge can fit into any work or life environment, including one with travel.
• Coach-led discussions on proper gait, tempo, and breathing.
• Sub-challenges throughout the 15 weeks, including photography scavenger hunts, walking meditations, daily distances, nutrition, etc.

As with all Challenge: Charity challenges, 50% of what you pay helps better the life of someone else. For this challenge, 50% of revenues* will go to buildOn to build a primary school in Nepal. As a team member of this challenge, you'll be entitled to continuing updates on the progress of the fundraising as well as the building of the school so that you'll see for yourself the good that you've done! You'll also be eligible to join the team that travels to Nepal, stays with the beautiful people there, and lays the foundation for the school.

*That inconvenient "convenience" fee charged by the credit card processor is taken off the top (which is about 3%), and then 50% is figured after that. All other expenses come out of the business's 50%, not the charity's. It is important that you know exactly how much money is going to those in such desperate need.

Pre-Summer Slim Down Challenge
Challenge begins May 2

Imagine being 5 - 10 pounds lighter, ready to take on summer and all the adventures it has to offer, by the beginning of June.

Who wouldn't want that? Shhaaa, duuhhhh!

Now, imagine achieving that tighter, lighter body of freedom while still eating foods of your choice and doing the exercise that is right for you?

Sounds even better.

That, my dear, is the Pre-Summer Slim Down Challenge.

I've taken almost all of the work out of it. You just have to show up (not in front of me, but in your own life) and connect the dots.

• Choose from the vast selection of clean food recipes (all of which are super easy to make), or
• choose to eat from a restaurant, or
• choose to eat something not listed but fits the calorie count...

And

• choose one form of exercise from the list of workouts - to do at home, outside, in the gym, whatever - that burns 200 calories.

That's it!

It's all been reduced down to numbers.

1500 calories in - 200 calories out = WEIGHT LOSS

You follow the numbers and the results are VERY predictable. No emotion. No variables. Just plain weight loss.

It's almost like having the magic formula.

You'll consume 1500 calories (if you're female) from the vast selection of meal options and you'll work off 200 calories from the vast selection of workout options. Depending on your starting weight, you'll lose 5 - 10 pounds... in one month.

And you'll have a coach to help you through, to answer questions, to guide, to motivate, to hold you accountable.

The structure for success is set up for you. Real, healthy weight loss that will teach you long-term healthy habits. All you have to do is commit, for only 28 days.

Can you do it?

Yes... absolutely. And this will be one of the best summers yet.

Join me and others in the Pre-Summer Slim Down Challenge and make this YOUR summer to remember!

Just $99.

And half of that goes to build a school in Nepal. Because what good is it to improve your life if you're not also lending a helping hand to improve the life of someone else? With every Challenge:Charity challenge, the world shares in your strength, your determination, your kindness, and your success.

*That inconvenient "convenience" fee charged by the credit card processor is taken off the top (which is about 3%), and then 50% is figured after that. All other expenses come out of the business's 50%, not the charity's. It is important that you know exactly how much money is going to those in such desperate need.

Lean Muscle Body Sculpting Challenge
Challenge begins Sept. 19

It's one of life's bitter lessons - you don't appreciate your youthful shape and strong muscles until parts of your body begin to sag...

...like centuries of continental drift.
...like proud glaciers slowly sliding into the sea.
...like the oversize pants hanging under the boxer-clad butt of some thug-inspired young man.

If you don't work to build your muscles, you will lose them... to the tune of about 10 percent per decade after the age of 30.

That is why your back sags over your bra. Why your underarms waggle when you wave. Why the front of your thighs are headed south.

But we don't have to become victims of the sag.

We can do something to slow our body's predictable march downward.

We can regain our lean, strong muscle. We can rebuild our youthful physique. We can build our quads, lift our glutes, chisel our abs, and tone our triceps so that we look more on the outside like we feel on the inside.

It just takes a small commitment of time, a bit of planning, and a pinch of know-how.

But with the Lean Muscle Body Sculpting Challenge, you're covered.

It's the done-for-you plan to help you make a big difference... FAST. In four weeks, you'll see major improvement in the mirror and feel like the badass broad you always knew you were.

Like any Challenge:Charity challenge, this is simple, but it isn't easy. Doing anything for 28 days straight takes commitment and discipline... that's why it's called a challenge.

But you'll know exactly what to do. I'll make sure of that. And you'll have regular communication, coaching, inspiration, and kicks in the butt from me. As always, I'm just an email away. And if you're really stuck, we'll get on the phone and work your shit out!

That's the fun of the challenge. You get the amazing results and the feeling of pride for getting something done, but you don't have to do it alone. You'll know you have a team of others who are suffering, I mean enjoying, the challenge along with you.

And, as with EVERY Challenge:Charity challenge, half of the money raised goes to benefit someone else, who could use some of your strength to lift her up. Money from this challenge will go to BuildOn, to build a school for the desperately needy kids in Nepal. Without an education, they really don't have a shot.

So here's the details:

• You'll get 4 weeks of progressive daily workouts. These are yours to keep and use over and over.
• Each workout will cover upper body/core or lower body/metabolic.
• Each workout will take about 20 minutes to complete.
• The only equipment you'll need is one set of light dumbbells (approx. 5 lbs.) and one set of heavy dumbbells (10 - 12 lbs.).
• You can do the workout at home, in a hotel room, outside, or at your gym.
• You'll get a weekly workout plan, as well as videos of each workout.
• You'll get my favorite protein smoothie recipes - all quick and easy to make - that I'll encourage you to use a substitute for one meal daily for the four-week challenge so that your muscles will have the protein they need. Also, the reduced calories from the meal substitution will melt away the fat..
• Cost: $98. Yep, only 98 bucks to totally reshape your body, live happy on those endorphins, and help build a school in Nepal. Boom... just like that.

*That inconvenient "convenience" fee charged by the credit card processor is taken off the top (which is about 3%), and then 50% is figured after that. All other expenses come out of the business's 50%, not the charity's. It is important that you know exactly how much money is going to those in such desperate need.
