22-Day Total Body Challenge!

Need a little boost in your summertime fitness? Then join the 22-Day Total Body Challenge! Every week you'll get an email with your "assignments" for the week, along with a daily reminder text to encourage you in the challenge.

Why 22-days? Well, we've all heard that it takes 21 days to form a new habit, so we are going to form that habit and then keep it going! By day 22 you'll be ready to take what you learned in the challenge and roll into your lifestyle what worked for you.

The first email will go out on July 6 with your assignments for Week 1, which will include a nutrition and a fitness challenge for each day of the week. I'll be creating a Facebook page for this group so you can post daily how day's challenge went for you. Yes, this is a challenge in itself if you aren't a huge Facebook user, so I'll include a link to the Facebook page in every text so you can click on it quickly from your phone and do your post.

Sign up by July 3! 22-Days...$22. At the end of the Challenge if you posted daily and did every challenge, you'll receive a free session with me! If you do not live here, I'll send you one of my fabulous Core Living water bottles!
