Stadifit Health Challenge

cover.jpg

Recently Stadifit members completed a questionnaire about their health, fitness and wellbeing. We were happy to see that overall the community have been doing well in most areas of their health and wellbeing, despite the challenging circumstances of the year. We also learned that the areas most members felt they would benefit from additional support were with nutrition, recovery and mental wellbeing.

At Stadifit we are all about creating opportunity to take action with the most important and impactful actions we can in order to keep improving. So, with our community feedback in mind, we felt that the current restriction time during April was the perfect time for a community health challenge so that we can arrive in May with momentum and one step closer towards our nutrition, recovery or mental wellbeing goals.

While times of challenge can often lead us to put things on hold as we wait for better times to come, it can also be an opportunity for positive change and for us to use our commitment to action to turn things around for the better…particularly with a like-minded community of people around you to.

Curious and want to know more on how to be involved? Read below for a summary of the what, when, how and whys of the Stadifit Health Challenge!

What?

The Stadifit Fit Health Challenge is designed to help you commit to single daily action or habit practice aimed at improving either your nutrition, recovery or feeling of mental well-being.

When?

From Tuesday the 13th of April until the 4th of May (3 weeks)

How?

Step 1: Choose an action or habit practice related to nutrition, recovery or mindset that you will commit to doing each day for next 3 weeks. See further below for examples you can choose from.

IMPORTANT! The best habits and actions are simple, clear and very actionable, as you will see from the examples below. Most often the most effective ones are things you already know and may seem “too easy”. The power lies in action, so do not underestimate what will happen when you commit to a very simple action that you already know is good to do consistently.

Step 2: Check in via THIS FORM on as many days as you can (ideally daily) during the next 3 weeks to log when complete your chosen action.

Step 3: Keep an eye out for our emails, social media posts, Instagram Live coffee with coaches sessions and right here below for tips, resources and inspiration while you are doing the challenge.

Step 4: Celebrate and connect with your fellow members and community when you can - making a commitment and participating in the challenge is no small feat and when we support and celebrate others, it also lifts us up to be better too.

Why?

The why behind doing a challenge like this is a very personal and individual thing. While the challenge and commitment to self-improvement in areas you know you need to is in itself a big reward, we will also reward those who choose to participate with the chance to win the Stadifit Health Challenge prize package that includes a Stadfit t-shirt, a home training equipment kit and PT Starter package worth 400€. Other spot prizes will be also given during the challenge to recognise and support you as you follow through on your daily actions.

We looking forward to seeing what you all choose and how you develop over the next 3 weeks
