Centrex Challenge
The Centrex Challenge is a 12-week program where individuals push
themselves towards their goals as part of a competition. Each individual
identifies his/her own goals which the Centrex team turns into steps towards
attainment. It is this goal attainment and a winning attitude that
allows the Challenge to support different people with different goals whether
it is weight loss, decreasing body fat, increasing strength or endurance
or whatever. It's not just the end result but how the journey along the
path that also counts.
So what does the Challenge require of you and what should you expect?
Once you've entered the Challenge, the Centrex team will weigh and
measure you and determine your bodyfat ratio. Then using your goals,
the team use the BioAnalogics program as a guide to determine your nutritional
needs and the minimum steps to reach your goals. These steps are mini-goals
such as Body Sculpt, Spin and Yoga classes in addition to other training
components to meet your challenge.
The nutritional and training requirements will be placed in a binder
along with your physical measurements and a BEFORE picture. You'll
update the binder with the hand-outs from the occasional Tuesday night meetings
as well as your diet diary and exercise tracking as well as any information
you find interesting and useful. The Tuesday night meetings are mandatory
and are about an hour or so long. The intent is to share information
- and Challengers will sometimes have to present - as well as provide encouragement.
There is also a set of message
boards available where Challengers and other gym members can post information
and words of encouragement. Halfway through the Challenge you will
again be weighed and measured to help you track where you are relative to
your goals.
At the end of the program, you'll need to write an essay that describes
your path along the Challenge. This will go in your binder to
be turned in for evaluation as will a final weigh-in and measurement
session complete with an AFTER photo. The evaluation will be
based on a variety of factors. The last meeting will be a celebration
of a successful Challenge as evaluated binders are returned and awards
and prizes are given out.
