Welcome to the Ignite55 Lifestyle Challenge Creator form.<\/p>

This page has been designed to help you create your very own Ignite55 Lifestyle Challenge.<\/p>

It’s up to you to create the rules to your own challenge, which must be challenging for you, but also achievable.<\/p>

The idea is to set yourself a challenge that will help you improve your lifestyle, make it healthier, make your live better, and is also achievable by you.<\/span><\/p>

As you complete your challenges through-out each week of Ignite55, tick them off on the Lifestyle Challenge Tracker wall chart (available just before the challenge starts).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you have the Challenge Creator form filled out, submit it, and it will email both you and your coach your unique challenges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

After that, you simply need to use the Lifestyle Challenge Tracker wall chart to keep track of your progress.<\/p>

Get to work on completing your mini-challenges and ticking them off.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Ignite55 Lifestyle Challenge is made up of 3 or 4 mini-challenges, and one Big challenge, that you must complete over the 8 weeks.<\/p>

Mini-challenges can be from any part of your lifestyle, related to improving your health and fitness.\u00a0 Although 1 from each of the categories below will give you a good balanced challenge.\u00a0 Here’s a few examples.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      The key with workout challenges is to set yourself something achievable.\u00a0 Quite often, once we get the first session of the week done, we often want and crave more, and end up doing more than we challenge ourselves.\u00a0 But on the more difficult weeks, as long as you get the minimum done, you’ll still benefit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Your activity challenge can be anything that causes you to be more active than you normally would.\u00a0 Activity is usually something that is either less intense than a gym workout or class, however, sports can be included here also.\u00a0 Although darts doesn’t count lol.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            You’re Big Challenge should be something that you will feel a real sense of accomplishment from.\u00a0 The more we accomplish, the more self-belief we attain, the higher we aim for ourselves as we grow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

            We are always trying to get people to have confidence in themselves, challenge themselves, but at the same time, be realistic.\u00a0 Being realistic doesn’t mean aiming lower.\u00a0 It means understanding how long it takes to make changes.\u00a0 Realising how much effort is required.\u00a0 You can 100% achieve every goal you set for yourself.\u00a0 But you won’t necessarily achieve them as quick as you would like to.\u00a0 Change takes time.\u00a0 Don’t rush it.\u00a0 Don’t try to go from Zero to Hero.\u00a0 Aim for small manageable changes.\u00a0 Be proud of the small improvements.\u00a0 Understand that big changes are the results of lots of small changes stacked up.\u00a0 Enjoy your Ignite55 journey.\u00a0 It’s not the end, it’s only the beginning.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
