What is a Challenge Group (a.k.a Health and Fitness Group)?

I get asked these questions all the time - 

What is a Challenge Group? What is a Health and Fitness Group? What is a Support and Accountability group? 
Guess what - they are all referring to the same type of group!! 
Simply different names being used!! 

The next question I get is how will a group help me get fit and healthy? 

Guess what? 

I had the same questions myself before I committed to joining my first Challenge Group!  

Here is a sneak peak into WHY 

Challenge groups are the way to go...

 


The Basics...What is a Challenge Group?

Groups that are formed to help you reach your ultimate health and fitness goals.
They range anywhere from 10 days to 90 days.
Closed group on Facebook
5 or more people plus me, Your Coach, with 1:1 interaction
Support, motivation, Accountability
Beachbody Workout, Shakeology, and Clean Eating

What are the requirements to take part in a Challenge Group?

1. Shakeology - you will be drinking Shakeology once per day.  If you do not already have Shakeolgoy you must invest in it.  I need to know that if I am going to invest my time in you , you are willing to invest in your own health. 

2.  A Beachbody Fitness program of your choice. I am more than happy to help you pick the program that is right for you and the results you want to achieve. (Note: some challenge groups a fitness program is optional)

3.  You need to be an active member of the challenge group. I set up a private facebook group where only members of the challenge are invited to join.  What does an active member of the group mean?  It means you need to check into the group daily, workout on your own, post your daily ratings, and support your fellow challengers!  

Challenge Groups are more than just purchasing a Beachbody fitness program and drinking Shakeology every day.  It's more than just doing TurboFire, P90x, Insanity, Chalean Extreme, or Les Mills Combat.  It's more than a facebook group!

A challenge group becomes your support system, your fitness family, a place to feel secure and comfortable talking about your struggles, a place to get motivation when you want to quit, a place to improve your body and your mind, a place to learn about fueling your body for energy and not comfort, a place where you can get support from the comfort or your own home, 

the BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD because ultimately it helps you take care of YOU!!

Here are testimonies from other people who have taken part in a 

challenge group 

I have challengers of every shape and size.  Stay at home moms and dads, single men and ladies, working moms and dad, college students, people training for marathons, runners, women wanting their prebaby body's back, and people who just want to be healthy and live longer!! No matter what your body type or your history...it is in the past! This is a new day and this is your chance to change your future.   Time for you to create a healthier lifestyle and to be the best version of you that you can be!  

So what are you waiting for?!?!

Why would you want to waste another day feeling 

BLAH, FRUMPY, SICK, and TIRED?!?!  

(Maybe this sounds a little harsh but I know this is how some of us feel - at least I know this is how I felt before I started).

Zucchini Fritters

I love to eat!! If you don't know that by now, well then I am telling you - I love to eat!! Once I find a recipe I like I tend to stick with it because I don't want to be disappointed and I don't want to be left without anything to eat.  I also love to have omelets for breakfast.  Making an omelet every day just is not always the easiest job to do in the morning at my house.  When I saw the recipe for these Zucchini Fritters I thought if they tasted good, they would be a great substitute for my all time love, Omelets!!!! The recipe was also a CLEAN recipe so it would fit into my Clean Eating lifestyle.  

My idea was, I could make these Fritters ahead of time and then just reheat them in the toaster oven.  We go through a lot of eggs in our house.  Again this is another reason why I have been trying to talk my husband into getting chickens but so far he has not agreed to this idea of mine.  

Eggs are an excellent source of protein.  I prefer to have the egg white as opposed to the whole egg.  Whole eggs are high in cholesterol and with all the eggs I eat, I would not be doing a great thing for my body if I ate the whole egg.  

Thankfully the Zucchini Fritter recipe I found was a clean recipe and thank goodness it was a great tasting recipe.  

Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients:

6 egg whites

1/2 cup quick oats

1 small zucchini, grated

Hummus

oil of choice 

Directions:

1. Combine egg whites, oats, and zucchini in a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

2. Spray or coat a non-stick pan with a light layer of oil and ladle the pancake type mixture onto the pan as you would a regular pancake.

Note: Watch the heat on these. You may need to keep it closer to medium to allow these to cook longer.  You want the eggs to cook completely without letting the pancake burn. Adjust accordingly.  

3.  Remove fritters from the pan when cooked through and top with a dollop of hummus (guacamole is a suggested topping as well).  

Serves 4

I made the whole batch and then used what I needed for that particular meal and wrapped the rest and used throughout the week.  I am getting ready to make another batch tomorrow for the upcoming week.  Like I said when I find something I like, I tend to stick with it.  

What type of eggs do you like? Do you eat the egg whites or the whole egg? Here is a nice comparison to show the difference in what you get from each:

Are you looking to eat good food but also want it to be healthy food?
