Fitness Challenge
Compete To Earn. Earn To WIN!
Coach's Box It's not over until YOU say it is...30 days might be our official cut-off, but that should just be an arbitrary number by now. You know where you'd like to see yourself. You know the sacrifice you've endured thus far, and hopefully you have a much better idea as to the type of effort it's going to take for you to reach your goal (AND maintain it). Complacency is too easy of a trap to fall into, especially now. Once measurements are taken and the final hours ticks away, I'm sure the majority of you will want to take a sigh of relief. Go ahead, you worked hard for it. However, if you want the progress & results to continue, plan on keeping that sigh short & sweet. I'm referring to a day or two, not a week or two. Just like your meals, it's best to leave yourself content with a brief moment of relaxation, but not filled to the point of no return. Remind yourself of the sacrifices you've made. Do not let them go to waste. You all proved to yourselves that YOU ARE CHAMPIONS...and now your personal expectations should reflect just that! |

Level 6 - If Kaizen Kathy went for a 40-minute morning run, climbed
stairs at work on her lunch break for 10 minutes, & later went to the gym
to swim laps for 50 minutes, how many cardio points would she have earned for
that day? (Assuming she was working at the correct RPE level)
5 points (100 minutes = 60 + 40 = 3 points + 2 points; Or 100 minutes = 5 x 20 minutes = 5 x 1 point) - Fitness Freddy decides to complete a 45-minute P90X strength
workout in the morning and later that evening decides to do a series of
push-ups, crunches, squats, & cobras at home on the floor for 15 minutes
without breaks. How many resistance points would he have earned for that day?
4 points (60 minutes = 30 + 30 = 2 points + 2 points) - Kaizen Kathy drinks 10 - 8oz. cups of water, consumes 3 servings of vegetables & 3 servings of fruit, and takes her multivitamin in the morning. She has a balanced breakfast & dinner, but forgets to eat lunch that day. She only found time to have one snack in the afternoon. How many total nutrition points did Kaizen Kathy earn for the day?
6 points (2 points for water + 1 point for vegetables + 2 points for fruit + 1 point for multivitamin) - Fitness Freddy woke up at 7am and went to bed the night before at midnight. He got up once in the night to use the restroom, but that was only for 5 min. and went back to sleep immediately afterwards. That same day, Fitness Freddy met with his team of movement specialists: 1) His Chiropractor for a 20-minute appointment & 2) His Massage Therapist for a 30-minute deep tissue massage. How many total recovery points did Fitness Freddy earn for the day?
5 points (2 points for sleep + 3 points for flexibility) - Based on cumulative points, I notice that I’m
not keeping up with my fellow competitors. I decide to be extra liberal with my
score and even add points for activities that I did not complete. However, I’m
caught when a Klever Kaizen Fitness Professional finds out. This will result
in:

amount of cardio time you complete in any 1 day is cumulative. Therefore, if you were to go for a
40-minute jog in the morning & went for a 40-minute swim in the afternoon, you would have completed a total of 80 minutes for the entire day. This equates to 4 points (80-minutes/20-minutes = 4 points). If, for example, you attend an *hour-long aerobics class, in the morning, and later decide to go for a 1-hour bike ride that same afternoon, you would earn a total of 6 points for cardio that day (120-minutes/ 20-minutes = 6 points).
