Announcing the 30 Day Fitness Challenge!

Community, Tips and Stories | By Kasey Fleisher Hickey
Evernote Fitness Challenge

A month ago, we announced Chad Williams as our Fitness Ambassador and now he’d like to help all of our users get more fit. Chad is here to get you in shape, and keep you motivated, along with other Evernote users (not to mention, some challenge-ready Evernote employees!). We’re calling it the 30 Day Challenge and it starts on Wednesday, February 15th. Are you ready?

Join the 30 Day Challenge led by Chad Williams, Evernote Fitness Ambassador

As a health and fitness mentor, Chad helps his clients achieve their fitness and nutritional goals. With the help of Evernote, he’s going to lead you in a challenge to get into better shape and change some of your bad eating habits.

Here’s how it’s going to work:

  1. Choose any combination of the four challenges presented below.
  2. Create a notebook called ’30 Day Fitness Challenge,” or something more motivational, like “30 Days to a new Kasey.” Don’t forget to replace Kasey with your name.
  3. Every day you complete a challenge, take note of it in your challenge notebook. Take photos to track before and afters, and maybe even clip some motivational articles to help you along. [see Chad's tips for ways to use Evernote to track your progress]
  4. Join the Fitness discussion forum to share your experience, tips, talk with other users participating in the challenge, and connect with Chad. Remember, having group support helps you to stay motivated!

Ready? Onward!

4 Challenge Options

Choose any combination of two.

2 Fitness Challenges:

  • 100 sit ups per day. This can be done in one chunk or spread out through the day. You have the option to scale this down to 50. Pick a number and commit!
  • 100 stairs per day. You can split this up throughout the day, or reduce the total number, but again, pick a set number and stick to it.

2 Nutritional Challenges:

  • Water only. Do not consume any other fluids besides water for the next 30 days. If that’s too challenging, you can also choose to only omit alcohol and soda.
  • No sugar. This one might seem simple at first, until you realize how many things contain sugar. Chad usually allows people to define what this means for them (ie: no sweets and candy, but fruit and sauces are okay).

It’s a Twitter Party!

Chad will be hosting a Twitter party on Thursday, March 15th from 6-7 pm PST (9-10 pm ET) to discuss your accomplishments, what worked and what didn’t, and how you can continue using Evernote to track your fitness goals. We’ll be offering some sweet prizes as well. To join:

  1. Create your Twitter account, login via Twitter.com or your Twitter client.
  2. Follow @evernotelife and @anthrophysique
  3. Follow the hashtag #evernotelife
  4. Ask questions, chat with fellow challenge participants, and discuss ways you could be using Evernote to stay fit and healthy.

Spread the word and let others know you’ll be joining by tweeting:

I’m participating in the @anthrophysique + @evernotelife Fitness Challenge and Twitter party on 3/15 @ 9 pm EST. Join us! #evernotelife

    Will there be another challenge? If so, when will it start?

  • JMK

    Like others, I only saw this recently so I’m going to do this in March for the month…

  • Mark

    Great timing for seeing this from Evernote… Had a couple of surgeries and these will help with rehab motivation! Water only looks cool, so I created a thirty day note with to-do check offs for each day. But, i would love to get the pic of the “You can’t get it by…” and use it for wallpaper on my iPhone. Any chance? Thanks!

    Will this come out again, for the fitness challenge?

  • George

    Eversnote isn’t yet well suited to do this kind of work. It could with a bit of effort.

    To track any goal timeline there should be a TIMELINE where to put notes to. Also this timeline should have a Seinfeld calendar stile to mark the days.

    I think it would be usefull for this kind of things and habit forming.

    interesting didn’t see this until march but still doing it on my own. thanks for the tips!

  • Elizabeth Opena

    This is awesome. I have started the water only and a little bit of sugar challenge about a month ago. It is really worth doing for our body. Working on the second floor of our building, going up and down the stairs many, many times a day has been a regular part of my day from Monday through Friday for the last three years now…a great exercise. But I want to challenge myself with the 100 sit-ups… sounds difficult for me but I can down-size to start with. Thanks for the challenge, Chad! And thanks to Evernote!
