Win A Fat Loss Contest

Being a life long athlete, I have always been a huge
fan of the physical contest.

Until recently though I didn't realize how powerful the concept
of contest really is especially in fitness.

Sure those just starting out and dipping their toes into
the water of health, fitness, and fat loss game. They may be
a little hesitant to jump into a contest.

Even though there are a lot of scary and intimidating thoughts
and physical challenges, required when taking on a contest
it is really for someone just the 'beginner' need to get them
moving successfully forward

Signing up for a contest can provide 2 very powerful and crucial parts of success.

1. It gives you something to truly train for sure, fat loss is great but is
is sometime very abstract and it can even begin to wear on the mind.
Plus if you have picked the right challenge it should be synergistic with
your fat loss goals.

2. As my buddy Dan John always says, 'Sign-up!', this truly putting yourself
on the line. No more hiding in the shadows. No more saying I will start next week.
It's kind of put or shut up time when you sign up for contest, do what you say.

The alternative is to go cowering home knowing you didn't even try or possibly worse that your
attempt was well short of YOUR best effort.

Put simply signing up for a contest is very raw and real you are putting yourself out there.

Many of my colleagues run great fat loss/transformation contest Craig Ballantyne and Holly Rigsby both run very successful transformation programs, and they both give away really cool prizes.

They are powerful, the entrants really seem to love these contest and beyond that
they inspire each other on to some stellar results.

Well it got me to thinking that I should run a contest or two in 2009; so I would like to
tell you a little bit about my first contest today.

The first contest is going to be the:

ATS Annual Arm Forces Appreciation PT Test Challenge

As a former service member the PT test holds a love hate place
for me; however the greatest thing about a PT test is that they
are pretty darn good test of physical fitness.

and Oh by the way it's also awful hard to be lugging aroung any
extra weight and do well on a PT test, so yeah fat loss is covered
too.

So here are the details:

The contest will be held on a Sunday in May, which is Armed Forces Appreciation Month

There will be 4 Levels of competition:

Open Male

Open Female

Airborne Challenge

Ranger Challenge

The competition is open to all, whether you are a active ATS coaching
client or not.

The contest is open to any age group as the Army PT standard works
on a sliding scale so that even those who are 62+ can have a grade and
compete on a even scale.

All 4 levels of the competition will be all be competing at the same
evens except for those doing the Ranger Challenge they will be required to
do a longer run and an additional event.

The Events are:

Push-ups - 2 minute duration

Javorek Sit-ups - 2 minutes duration (this is not a traditional movement
I have actually changed it for reason I will explain later)

2 mile Run - for best time

Now for the good stuff I have not finalized the prizes but this who will be
getting the prize

1st
2nd
3rd

Place winners in each category will receive an award I haven't finalized these but
I have some cool stuff in mind that I will be announcing later.

There will need to be a minimum of 6 entrants per category

Lastly, there will be an entry fee of $25 per person this will be payable
