August is a terrible time to run a challenge. It’s a time to chill out, go on vacation, or a couple of long weekends. It’s a time to enjoy the balance of summer, enjoy the amazing weather and slow things down. It’s NOT a time for a fitness challenge. I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s ok to pass on this challenge. YOU WILL NOT HURT MY FEELINGS!  It’s ridiculously punishing mentally, full of rules. The Kickboxing requirements are frankly the easiest part of this challenge.

However, if you finish this challenge, I will pay for your membership in September. 

Say what? You read that right, if you do this challenge and follow all of the rules, I will add a credit to your account, equal to your monthly tuition payment.  

This challenge will focus on Fat Loss. It will be super hard and strict. If you have 6-pack abs, congrats, this challenge is NOT for you. Take a break. If you can’t see your abs and you want me to pay your September Monthly tuition, AND you CAN FOLLOW STRICT RULES, then keep reading. You are about to be challenged like you have never been challenged in our studios. This is NOT going to be fun. This is going to be a F#$#** serious attempt to get RIPPED and it’s going to require dedication, accountability, planning, and focus to WIN this BATTLE against FAT! 

Everyone who completes this challenge and follows 100% of the rules, WINS. This contest is against yourself and your ability to finish! This challenge is about your willingness to be accountable to yourself. This is about you putting this 28-day Extreme Burn Fat Loss Battle, front and center, for 28-days. #NoExcuses

You will be asked to use Prestige Labs supplements because we know they work. This will include their Best Sellers Pack and Protein Blend. The Best Sellers Pack will accelerate your body’s ability to burn fat and help with hormone balance. You must take these supplements every day. The added Protein will promote lean muscle growth, increasing fat loss, boost your metabolism and improve cardiovascular health.  

How much total protein should you consume every day? We want you to use this PROTEIN CALCULATOR and follow the range of the American Dietetic Association (ADA). 

This means you will be asked to track your food and water intake. There are several apps for this, I don’t care which you use. MyFitnessPal, LoseIt, and FitBit are all popular.
