Our mission is to translate scientific research on exercise and nutrition into practical fitness challenges for everyone.

The ACSM and AHA suggest that people aged 18-64 should do the following:

• Enjoy moderate-level workouts like jogging or swimming for 2.5 to 5 hours a week.
• Exercise all big muscles with weights or bodyweight moves 2 to 3 times a week, doing 1-2 sets for each muscle group.

The more people that sign-up, the higher the prize purse goes. We start with a minimum of 100 participants which makes the minimum first-place prize $450.

Let’s get you started on the right foot. We have three groups for you to join based on your activity level.

• • Group 1 is for people who only move around a little and are new to exercise (sedentary).
  • Group 2 is for those who do some regular exercise but not a lot (moderately active).
  • Group 3 is for people who are always on the go and exercise a lot (very active).

This way, everyone can find a group that matches their exercise history and feel comfortable in the challenge. So let’s get moving and have a great time!

A guiding principle regarding health and fitness is this: if you can perform a task better now than you did before, you are improving your health. The scale does not matter. Suppose it takes 25 minutes to walk a mile in the first week and 20 minutes in the second week; this adaptation is your cardiovascular system showing improvement. You are reducing your risk for cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal disease (primary risk for mortality), most cancers, and even hospitalization due to Covid-19.

The best measurement for knowing your workouts are improving your life is seeing a boost in performance in the physical activity you are doing.
