Every year, many of us go about setting New Year’s Resolutions but fail to stick to them.  In fact, after 6 months, only about 50% of people who made a resolution are still sticking to it.  Fast forward to 1 year, and that number declines to less than 10%.  So should we even bother to try to make changes?

Of course!  But we need to do it the right way.

Enter the 20-12 Challenge at Inspired Wellness Solutions.  Rather than setting vague, overarching goals, our challenge program will provide you with specific, feasible nutrition & fitness challenges to tackle during the next year.  In fact, you’ll be provided with 20 challenges each of the 12 months of 2012!  

The Program:
Each month, you will receive emails with nutrition and fitness information and tips.  Each email will also contain a “challenge” related to that email’s topic.  For example, you might receive information about the health benefits of whole grains compared to refined grains.  The challenge might be to use brown rice rather than white rice in a meal during that week.  

By completing each challenge, you earn points.  The points assigned to a challenge vary based on the impact on your health and the difficulty of the challenge.  Each email will include instructions on verifying completion, if you would like us to keep track of your points for eligibility for the end-of-the-year cash prizes.  Completions may simply require an email that you did it, a picture of the finished product (like a photo of that brown rice dish!), confirmations (for example, of a race registration if there was a 5K challenge), or other methods.

At the end of the year, the 3 participants with the most earned points will receive cash prizes!
