The Advanced Performance Presidential Champions Program

So last year I decided to sign up for the President’s Challenge at presidentschallenge.org.

Pretty stoked bout this.

I know why does a fitness professional get all excited about signing up for a challenge that should just be a part of their every day lifestyle? Well its fun to record and track your fitness. It’s really quite a motivating tool.

It holds me accountable to my own training, just as I do for my boot campers, private and online training clients. Much like you may be held accountable to a running partner or coach.

I was so amped when I started that I decided to up the ante and go for the Advanced Performance program. I love a challenge and love competing against myself. If I fall off the wagon for a couple of days I have this screen staring me in the face letting me know it!

Not too mention my gut. Haha

Basically it states that I have to do double to earn each reward period. So to get my bronze certificate I had to earn 40,000 points. Gold is 160,000!

As of late September I hit my goal of Gold within one year! I’m currently at 208,913 points!

To give you a frame of reference, if you run an 8 minute-mile-pace for 60 minutes its 754 points.

That’s a lot of effort to get to 160,000! Basically running 1,600 miles or 31 miles a week. I know there are millions of people who produce this amount of work in a week with their fitness but unfortunately there are hundred of millions who do not.

I try to lead by example. Besides, if I were fat and out-of-shape would you really believe any fitness or nutrition advice that came out of mouth? I wouldn’t.

The cool part is, once you get to 160,000 points in the Advanced Performace they encourage you to strive for Platinum! 1,000,000 points!!! Or with running alone 9,947 miles.LOL. Thank goodness I do a mix of activities but I’m guessing by the age of 35 or so I’ll hit that number. So far I’m nearly 21% there within a year.

So that’s my goal.

What kind of goal have you set for yourself?

Do you even have one right now?

Or do you JUST want to lose some weight???

The latter never works for long term success.

Trust me

Willing you the greatest success,

Rob
