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

    Evernote is fantastic – Chad have you tried using Addaero to track and coach your athletes?

    Starting this today! Can you tell me how to find the templates someone mentioned? I like the daily checklist one member had but cannot figure out how to do that. Can’t log into the forums for some reason so might just be a lurker for a while.

  • Dan

    I just got the email this morning and want to give it a go but for some reason I can’t download the forms. Is it because it started already or am I missing something?

  • Chastity

    How cool! I wish I had gotten this information in tome to start on the 15th? Any idea why I just got the email this morning? At any rate, I’ll start today! Fun!

  • Liz

    I just got the newsletter and found about this. I’m so sad that it is over a week after the challenge began. I hope I you have another one that I can be a part of.

    Chad,

    Thanks for sharing the ways you can implement Evernote into your Fitness Challenges. I am currently using it to track my measurements during my Body by Vi 90-Day Challenge.

    It is similar to your 30 day Challenge except we usually drink two healthy meal replacement shakes (Vi-Shakes) and we set a 90 Day goal. In fact, my first challenge I lost 21 pounds while my wife has lost 60 pounds over the course of her three challenges.

    Thanks again for sharing your tips – Keep them coming and to the Evernote team – Love the app on my iPad!! Talk about a mobile braindump!

    I truly admire the simplicity of these goals. However, people with bad or weak backs, like me, have been told (by physical therapist) not to do situps, and especially not to do them this way. Would you suggest an equivalently simple exercise, like jumping jacks?

  • Alexander

    Whoa I’m way behind— wish I saw this sooner.

  • Bob

    Have lost 15lbs!! Thanks for the challenge!!

  • Doc Griebelbauer

    I am so bummed I missed your challenge! How many people signed?
