Welcome to the Total Lean Challenge

Tweet

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier YOU! Below is everything you need to know to participate in GNC's Total Lean Challenge. 

What to Expect

Expect to be challenged. You’re going to experience a combination of soreness and sweat to triumph and progress in the next 12 weeks. One thing I love…surprises. To keep you on track and motivated, we’ll be giving away $10,000 in Total Lean and other GNC product and merchandise throughout the 12 weeks on twitter.

How it Works

 The Challenge starts Monday January 7^th, 2013 and lasts for 12 weeks. It will be complete with meal plans, workouts, video instruction, and links; all will be posted on GNC’s LiveWell Blog except for your Saturday workout.

Every Saturday during the Challenge, our FitFluential team of fitness experts will be revealing a special Saturday workout & fitness tip. This workout is themed #RespectYourself because we believe that working out (even on the weekends) is a true testament to respecting your body and committing to changing your life.  Don’t worry though, this will be an enjoyable feature for your week ans something to look forward to.  You will find some fantastic prizes and surprises on this Saturday blog feature too! Yes, we’ve eliminated excuses; you’re welcome!

All of the tools you will need for this Challenge will be posted on a weekly basis. Why only one week at a time?  This keeps you guessing.  It also keeps you focused on the present…not the distant future.  After all, a large goal is achieved by accomplishing a series of small goals. 

Community of Accountability

So how do you connect with me, GNC, and other participants?  You’ll find us and our community of accountability on Twitter and Facebook.

Tweet @GNCLiveWell  or post on our Facebook wall with #RespectYourself to post updates, ask questions, share successes, and let us know how you’re doing with the challenge. @GNC_Kelly and @GNC_Dan will also be available to help you throughout the Challenge.  When you tweet on Sundays using #RespectYourself you will be entered for a chance to win the Total Lean prize of the week! The prize of the week will be posted on Twitter, Facebook, and the LiveWell blog each Monday of the Challenge. Follow us on twitter to learn about the giveaway for that week. Winners are announced on Mondays. 

Wait, there’s more…
