Fresh Start and Final Finish

Daily Accountability

  • Your journey begins with daily check-ins—a simple yet powerful tool for staying on track
  • With each check-in you move yourself up the competitive ranking
    • You will see your ranking after checking in
  • Optional reminder check-in texts can be sent at 8pm nightly with link directly to check-in form. Please text “Strong” to 442-248-5248 to get started
    • Texting set-up with simple reminder to check-in (and can change time – text back “timechange”)

Daily Double Workouts

  • Experience the effectiveness of dual daily workouts, designed for simplicity and maximum impact
  • Choose one workout that targets your heart-rate and the second to target your strength
  • (Target Heart Rate (THR) is calculated by 220-age x 0.70)
    • For example 50 year old is 220-50=170 then take 170 x .7 = 119 THR for at least 1/2 hour workout
  • Core: Movement: 2 x 30-minute sessions daily (2+ hours apart)
  • Elite Outdoor Add-on: One of your sessions MUST be outdoors, every single day. Snow, Sleet, Rain, or Shine.
  • We provide at least one workout per day

Mindfulness Practice

  • Embrace daily moments of mindfulness with our Anchor Thoughts & Gratitude journaling, keeping your wellness journey refreshingly simple.
  • Start your day with an Anchor Thought. This will be your daily focus. Don’t worry, we can help get you started
  • Evening reflection includes journaling your Gratitude and your day’s progress
