Announcing the 2015 Whole Life Challenge

Full Range is proud to announce that we will be forming a team for the 2015 Whole Life Challenge, which begins January 17th, 2015.What is it?The Whole Life Challenge is a 56-day online "game" that allows you to affect lasting change in your life.  Much like our "Primal Challenge" from last year, the WLC is based around developing new and healthy habits, and not on a "survive until the finish" mentality.  The Whole Life Challenge works by identifying the areas that almost everyone wants to change, and then making a daily game out of creating new habits in each of those areas. The game is designed around the five key areas that every person can identify with. Relying on their more than forty years of combined personal coaching experience, the founders created a system of play focused on implementing new habits in each of the five key areas.Who is it for?The only qualifications necessary to play the game are a wish to change and willingness to play. The desire to maintain things that work for us, and improve the things that do not, is universal. Everyone from world class athletes to people just exiting post care from catastrophic illness can take the challenge. This is not a game where scoring is based on being better than other players, to win this game all you have to do is participate.How to play

First, you will figure out where you are currently by doing the Preliminary WLC Body & Fitness Inventory

• Take a snapshot of your body
• Do an appropriate workout for your fitness level
• Complete your choice of one (or several) body measurements (weight, girths, body fat %)

Then, for 56 days, organize your life around the WLC 7 Daily Habits

• Eat by the WLC rules you choose at the level that is right for you. Make conscious choices that support your vision for a healthy lifestyle. Earn up to 5 points daily for nutrition.
• Exercise for at least 10 minutes each day. We recommend 3-5 “workouts” each week. The other days you’ll earn your points by being active. Ride your bike, surf, hike, even take an invigorating walk at sunset. This is your time to move daily. You earn 2 points for exercise.
• Stretch for at least 10 minutes each day. You earn 2 points for stretching.
• Water One third of your body weight in oz. of water each day (20 ml per kg). You earn 1 point for water.
• Supplement with a dietary supplement that would make a difference for your body if you took it every day. You earn one point for your supplement.
• Live the WLC weekly lifestyle practice – things like sleep, meditate, & supporting others. You earn 1 point each day you complete the weekly lifestyle task.
• Reflect at the end of each day and check in with how it went and how you’re doing. No amount of numbers can paint the whole picture. Your daily reflection helps you see how the challenge is really going. You earn 1 point daily for your reflection.

Best of all, you are not in this alone.  Check in daily by visiting the WLC site every day to record your score in the 7 Habits. Keep track of your progress by checking the leaderboard and your stats. Create support by joining up with a team of people you’re both connected to and care about. You can:

• Communicate through the reflection feed
• Check in on your teammates and see how they’re doing
• Share your ups and downs
• Give props & encouragement
• Schedule meetups
