Want to Get Healthy But Not do Burpees? Okay…I Can Help You With That!

June 15, 2019 By Lindsay Gee

Well…not really, because I love to incorporate burpees into workouts. My love of burpees trumps your desire to not do them. Ha! While I don’t promise zero burpees, I do promise to give you a way to help you get on track and stay on track with your health and fitness that is fun, supportive and affordable (FREE, in fact, for your first week!). Welcome to…

I created Choose Your Own Fitventure from a successful challenge I posted in my Fueled Life group on Facebook (you should also join that!). I started thinking that everyone always focuses on fitness when it comes to their health. Although that is absolutely one aspect to leading a healthy and energized life, it’s far from the only thing people that is important.

What about nutrition? Sleep? Joy? Friendship? Kindness? Loving yourself?

I’ve seen challenge after challenge out there focused on fitness. I love them. I truly do. I create a lot of them. But, your health is so much more than getting sweaty. Your energy is so much more than getting your workout done. Your happiness comes from so much more than core strength, leg strength, etc.

So, I figured I should create something that helps you discover how to treat yourself right in various areas of health, fitness, wellness…and more!

I started giving the Fueled Lifers Choose Your Own Fitventure challenges where I would create five challenges for the week and then they could organize their week and decide what day to do what challenge.

Feedback was phenomenal. And me? I simply loved seeing people focusing on things like sleep, eating vegetables, taking time for themselves and what the what…drinking water! It was inspiring.

It was then that I decided to create an entire challenge group called Choose Your Own Fitventure.

How does it work?

The challenge runs through an app on your phone, so everything is organized and easy to find. Every Sunday I drop five new challenges. Your goal? Complete all of the challenges within the week.

You earn points, which add up to earn you surprise rewards that unlock at a certain points value.

There’s tons of accountability and support through our chat room and every day there is an accountability card that has facts, bonus workouts, quotes or some sort of silliness to ensure you stay on track and get your challenges done for the week.

Below are a few examples of the challenges included in Choose Your Own Fitventure. There is always an explanation on why the challenge is included and what the expectation is, below is just a summary of three of the challenges:

Sleep is the bee’s knees: Sleep is critical to your health and wellness, both physically and mentally. The participants were challenged to schedule at least 8 hours of sleep for one night. Yes, with little people in your life, you cannot ensure that this will happen…but you can at least prep for it with an earlier bedtime, a good bedtime routine, etc.

Veggie prep: Participants were encouraged to prep 14 mini containers filled with easy-to-grab cut-up veggies. It’s much easier to grab something healthy (instead of a handful of crackers) when there is a ready-to-go snack waiting for you in the fridge.

Self-care sesh: As promised, I really want my Fitventurers to take care of themselves. I challenged them to schedule 60 minutes of self-care for the following week. Some have blocked off time to read a book and drink a HOT coffee, others have scheduled hair appointments or pedicures, while others are going for a hike with a bestie. Whatever self-care looks like for them, is what they were challenged to schedule for at least 60 minutes.

The challenges are not overwhelming and truly do highlight numerous aspects of health and wellness. Participants also received a workout challenge and physical activity challenge this week.

The membership is very affordable at $20/month and even better? I’ve decided to offer a FREE WEEK trial. So, give it a whirl for FREE!!!!

Try Choose Your Own Fitventure for a week for FREEEEEE!

Go on! Get yourself registered for your free week. You have nothing to lose and sooooooo much to gain. The people in this group are the most incredible people ever. They’re supportive, funny, silly and in it to feel better and get inspired to try new ways of thinking about health and fitness. I just love them all!

I’d love if you joined! Hope to see you in your free trial! We’ll have a blast. And you’ll feel better. I just know it.

New Challenge! Choose Your Own Fitventure: Week ONE!

March 18, 2019 By Lindsay Gee

Welcome to the Fueled Life’s latest challenge! For this challenge, I really wanted you to have the flexibility to decide what task you want to tackle on whatever day works for you. I know that life is busy, so sometimes me dictating what the challenge will be each day just won’t work for you. So, with this challenge, you choose the challenge and the day you want to complete it.

Each week you’ll receive 5 challenges to complete within seven days. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to get all five challenges done by Sunday night.

One challenge per day. No double-dipping. The purpose is to help you maintain focus on your health and fitness for at least five days this week.

So, take a look at the daily challenges and schedule your week. What day are you going to tackle the 100’s challenge? Hydration? The workout? Ooh la laaaaaa…so many options!

Here are this week’s Choose Your Own Fitventures:

Hot Mama’s 25% Stronger Fitness Challenge

November 1, 2016 By Lindsay Gee

With the close of our first round of #RockYourRoutine, a fitness challenge accepted by 150+ participants, I was at a loss as to what to challenge our Hot Mamas with next. You see…our next #RockYourRoutine challenge where we challenge you to commit to 3 workouts per week of at least 30 minutes (proof via sweaty selfie) doesn’t start until November 28th. So…we have a whole month where I feel like I need to challenge you!

Enter…Hot Mama’s 25% Stronger Challenge!

I got to thinking…”Lindsay, you love pushups. Why not a pushup challenge?”. I was contemplating doing 100 pushups per day for the month of November. But then I heard all the physios, chiros and medical doctors gasp at my audacity. So, I thought “I bet we can build up to that. I bet we can get 25% stronger ever quarter of the month”. So…that’s what we’re doing!

We’re working our way up by 25% increments to 100 pushups per day for the last 8 days of November. But my babies, my sweeties, my lovelies…have no fear…we’re going to start with 25 pushups per day for the first 7. Then we’ll move up to 50 per day for the second quarter. 75 pushups per day for the third quarter and then we’re gonna ROCK right back into #RockYourRoutine with 100 pushups for the last 8 days of November!

YAY! Right?! You’re super excited?! You’re in?! Right?!?!?

Go on…head over to the Hot Mama HQ FB Group, join the group and accept the challenge. OR, if you have a local franchise in your area, just commit to the challenge in your local FB Group! What’s in it for you?! Well…complete the challenge and you’ll be entered to win a level of our at-home-super-fantabulous-metabolic-boosting-28-day workout plan, IGNITE. That’s RIGHT…we’re even going to give away something for getting stronger! Woop!

Here’s the challenge:
