What Is The 6 Week Health Challenge

It's simple really. Starting Friday, November 18, 2011, there will be 6 weeks until New Year's Eve.

That gives you 6 weeks to set a reasonable body composition goal and achieve it during a time when most Americans gain weight.

This challenge was first posed to me by my personal trainer, Matt D. at Gold's Gym. I was recently let go from my full-time job and personal training has been an interest of mine. So, I am taking this time to challenge my friends and family to better their health and join me in my weight loss goals.

Over the course of the 6-weeks, I will document my workouts, food journal and feelings as I go through the process. If any of my friendly competitors want to share their stories, I will also post those here. Also, I will be documenting the process with photos and videos.

So what do you say? Take control of your health over the holidays, jump start your New Year's Resolution and set a goal for the next 6 weeks!

Personally, my goals are as follows:
- Workout a minimum of 5 times a week
- Burn a minimum of 1000 calories during each workout
- Journal my food daily

I haven't established my body composition goal yet, but I'm thinking a 10 pound weight loss goal.
