Whole Life Challenge (Jan. 20-Mar. 2)

Facebook_Jan2018-2

The holidays are notoriously hard on the momentum you’ve gained with working out, nutrition and/or just creating a healthier lifestyle. If you’ve fallen off the wagon, or on your way, we’ve got just the thing for you!

Starting on January 20th we will be taking on the 2018 Whole Life Challenge as a team. The Whole Life Challenge is an awesome way to track your progress of adding and maintaining healthy habits over 8 weeks. Their platform is second to none with a very easy to use website and smart phone app and is designed to keep you and other teammates accountable throughout the challenge.

We especially like this challenge because it isn’t just about nutrition but also incorporates other habits such as exercise, mobility, sleep, hydration, well-being, and daily reflection.

Early bird pricing ends January 3rd at just $39 ($29 if you are a returning player). It shoots up to $49 after the 3rd.

Check out more on the how the challenge works and sign-up for team EDCF via their website: www.wholelifechallenge.com/
