Rules for the Fitness Challenge for Dollars Competition.

This is a 6 week trial period that starts on November 1st and ends on December 12th.

Requirements:
1. $50 entry fee
2. Tape Measure
3. Scale

We will start out on November 1st by calculating your body fat index via this website…

By the end of the day, you must email me your calculated body fat percentage. We will have a midway checkpoint as well as a final measure at the end of the competition.

Each week you will have a chance to earn $5 (6 weeks x $5 = $30) of your $50 entry fee back.

The remaining $20 from each participant will go into the final pot. At the end of the 5 weeks whoever has gone down in body fat percentage the most will win the additional pot.

Here’s how you can win your $30 back:

For every day that you work out you earn $1.00 of your money back for up to $4.00 a week.
Each workout must consist of at least 45 minutes of constant activity.
**Shopping for 45 minutes at the mall DOES NOT COUNT.

You have the ability to earn a bonus $1.00 each week for controlling your diet. All you have to do is make sure you eat a total of at least 5 fruits and vegetables and drink 64 oz of water a day. That’s it! Anything above and beyond that is all on you. We want to make it achievable but at least make you think about what you’re consuming.

Each week, we’ll also make other suggestions like no fried food for a week, or no carbs for a week.

There will also be a contest every 2 weeks for some extra bonus earnings. ie. most miles in 2 weeks, most stairs in 2 weeks, etc.

Weeks START on Saturday and END on Sunday.

This entire competition is based on the Honor system. If you record days that you really didn’t work out, you’re really only cheating yourself. You will be expected to login and check this blog somewhat regularly to do the following…

1. Record your workouts
2. Continue to stay motivated through other people’s success stories
3. Make suggestions for bi-weekly challenges

When you record your workouts please answer the following under the correct weekly posting…

Date:
1. Activity:
2. Actual Time and Duration:
3. Approximate Calorie Consumption

Please let me know if anyone has any questions. Good Luck!
