What does "The Challenge" represent for you?

For many of us, when we heard about “The Challenge,” it inspired us to immediately take it on.   It just sounds good (The Challenge) and most of us enjoy being challenged.  And for some of you, it represented an idea that if you did “The Challenge,” it would help you create the changes you need in your life.  Either way, committing to yourself to do “The Challenge” says something about whom you are and where you want to be.  It represents your want and desire for growth.  It represents your desire for change.  And how awesome is that! 

                Taking on “The Challenge” means that you weren’t happy with where you were and you needed to step up your game.  It means that you expect more of yourself and you won’t settle for less.  Now, that’s attitude in my book!  You know, I’ve been doing this for over a decade and I can honestly say I’ve seen a few things along the way.  The fitness industry promotes many quick fixes and there are millions of programs that we have available to us to choose from.  And some programs are just awesome and others are shit.  But in my years of experience, it has always come down to the individual and what their desires are.  It always comes down to what they want to change and how bad they “must” have it.  And every time an individual becomes committed they reach success.  And as soon as they reach that success they up their game again and raise the bar to become even better.

                And part of that success is largely due to their consistency on staying focused and doing the things that propel them forward every day.  They practice doing the things that push them a bit closer to their vision and destination until they arrive.  And this is where “The Challenge” comes in.  The Challenge is structure and set to instill that consistency that most of us lack.  And as we transition through it, you’ll begin to understand the importance of having your own rituals.  The eight weeks will give you an opportunity to really take a close look at yourself and discover that you can do anything you set your mind to as long as you follow through with it.  As long as you’re clear on what you want.  And it has to be important to you.  It has to become a must for you to have.

In the end, our goal for you is that you’ll discover that it’s not about just 8-weeks or the program itself.  That it’s more about you.  That staying healthy requires a life time commitment.  And if you learn to break things down, you won’t get overwhelmed and quit.  By breaking things down, you’ll do more, you’ll do things more effectively and you’ll always reach your goals.  So I salute you for stepping up your game and for participating in our program.  I wish you the best and I’m here to support you ever step of the way.  Let this truly kick things into gear for you.  Be honest with yourself and this time stay consistent.  And don’t you dare quit!  See it through.  No matter how sore you are or how tire you feel.  Show up!  And have fun!  Easy stuff!

To your health & success,

Marco Gamez
