The Orangetheory Fitness LaGrange Transformation Challenge is already reaching the half-way mark. Mid-point weigh in's start Monday, February 18th and run through Sunday, February 24th. No appointment is necessary- just stop at the front desk to log results.
Being half-way through, we wanted to share a few tips to help participants maximize the rest of the challenge. We have seen HUNDREDS of success stories from these challenges - the Orangetheory Fitness workout can transform bodies and minds. Plus, that shot at the $500 grand prize isn't a bad incentive either.
Below are the Top five tips to help you tackle this challenge.
Tip #1: Ask coaches for help!
That's what coaches are here for! Between size recommendations for dumbbells, understanding and setting push intervals, they are here to help members get the best out of each workout. Take advantage of this expertise and ask any and all questions.
Tip #2: Engage in weekly challenges!
Coaches will send a list of challenges to help participants stay on track throughout the next 8 weeks. Some of them will be super easy - checking in on Facebook for example - and some will take more mental work such as increasing base paces or logging your food. Take these challenges head on.
Tip #3: Listen to the nutritional advice given to you!
Be sure to attend the kick-off meeting for your team- that's where you'll get most of the nutritional information and have a chance to ask any questions that you need to. Our Clinical Nutritionist will provide participants with dietary advice and suggestions to maximize workouts. Choices and intake play the biggest part in any transformation, so put the work in here and you won't have any option but to succeed in this challenge.
Tip #4: Focus on improving in each class!
Did you know that increasing your base pace or going heavier on the floor is going to help burn more calories throughout and after each workout? This is where asking coaches for help comes in. They know you better than you think and they know what you're capable of! Next time you're on the floor, pay attention to how you feel when you finish the rep count. If you realize you didn't struggle through the last few reps, grab a heavier dumbbell, move closer towards your TRX anchor, or ask your coach for a small challenge.
Tip #5: Pre-book your classes and more importantly- show up!
Book your schedule out on a weekly or monthly basis- this gives you less of an opportunity to find excuses for not getting your workout in. We know schedules are crazy- between work, kids, normal daily life hassles- but a pre-set workout schedule sets a routine. And then, show up! Getting to the gym is the hardest step. But once you have your foot in the door, we'll take it from there.
