Introducing...The GREAT Jeans Challenge!!

The GREAT Jeans Challenge

March 20-May 15

What is it? 

8 contestants have entered the Challenge, which consists of an 8-week fitness and nutrition program geared toward helping them lose 2 inches in 56 days! 

How does it work?

Our contestants have committed to coming in for 3 sessions at Fitness Together each week for the next 8 weeks. In addition to their training here, each contestant is keeping a daily nutrition log, getting extra nutritional counseling throughout the week, and is accountable for logging at least 3 sessions of outside cardio each week! We've designed the challenge to help them get into a new pair of jeans by May 15...if they fit into a smaller pair of jeans OR lose 2+ inches in their waist by the end of the challenge, they'll receive a $100 gift card for a NEW pair of jeans! 

    Who are the contestants?

I'm so glad you asked. 8 contestants, including our owner, Justin, are competing in the Challenge. Meet all of them below!!

See? I told you they were working hard. :)

 

BOB'S BLOG: The FINAL Post

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen.

We've made it to the end of Bob's Blog. After some well-deserved R&R in the Caribbean, Bob came back to Fitness Together last week and worked extra hard to make up for lost time! After a week of normal workouts, Bob came in yesterday morning for an ASSESSMENT. That's right...everybody's favorite appointment. Below you will find the results from Bob's assessment yesterday (changes from the previous assessment on January 16, 2012, will be in parenthesis).

How do you think he measured up??


ASSESSMENT: MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012
Height: 6'3" (no change :)
Weight: 254.8 lb (-4 lb)
Resting Heart Rate: 66 bpm (-10 bpm)
Exercise Heart Rate: 85 bpm (-5 bpm)
Body Fat %: 29% (-1%, approximately)

IMPORTANT MEASUREMENTS:
Shoulder: 45" (-2.5")
Chest: 44.5" (-1.75")
Waist: 41" (-4.5")
Hips: 45" (-2")
Right Arm: 13.75" (-1.25")
Left Arm: 13.75" (-1.5")

Right Thigh: 23.5" (-2.75")
Left Thigh: 23.75" (-2.5")

Take a good look at those numbers...impressive, right?? We think so. Bob contends that he's actually lost more than the 4 pounds stated above because he feels as though he consumed too much salt over the weekend, resulting in water retention. If you take a good look at his measurements, it would stand to reason that he's telling the truth. He lost a grand total of over 20 inches (including some minor measurements that are not listed above), which is absolutely INCREDIBLE!

We're so proud of Bob's perseverance and thankful for his willingness to subject himself to this blogging experiment. Although this marks the last day of Bob's Blog, keep in mind that Bob still has a long road ahead toward reaching his goals. Nevertheless, we are confident that Bob will continue to drop inches, weight, and insecurities as he continues toward that goal!

Thanks for tuning in!
