I considered calling this the “be nice to yourself” challenge. Or the “let’s get real with our goals & expectations” challenge. Or the “feel good, move more, and all is coming” challenge. But we’ll stick with the PS 2018 Challenge. Here’s how it works:
Step 1:
- Write down your 2017 accomplishments
- Write down positive changes you made in 2017
Step 2:
- Write down how you want to feel in 2018
- strong?
- happy?
- healthy?
- Write down what you envision yourself doing so that you can feel how you want to feel.
- focus on form & how you feel while you’re training
- spend more time with people who make you smile
- fuel your body with good & healthy food so that you feel your best
Step 3:
Join this challenge and focus on feeling good, doing more, and enjoying your training. See how that works for you! Below are the Important Dates & nitty-gritty of the Challenge:
