THE RESET

Our fall and winter resets have evolved over the years, and this year is no different. Like previous resets, we provide you with pillars of fitness/health that allow you to be your best self. Those pillars include: food/nutrition, hydration, movement, and sleep, and now we’re adding meditation, and gratitude.

This year, under every pillar, we recommend choosing AT LEAST 1 GOAL FROM EACH that work best for YOU! Rather than us suggesting you eat 6 cups of veggies per day, or sleep 7+ hours, YOU will choose the best goals and guidelines for YOUR body, YOUR schedule, YOUR mind.

Oh no. That’s a lot of pressure. Where do I start?
Don’t worry. We provide guidance (below) on what goals could work under each pillar. All of the goals are achievable and effective. But, if you need a sounding board, ask a coach!

What if I’m already excelling at a few of those pillars?
Great! If you’re excelling in any or multiple pillars of fitness/health, keep doing what you’re doing and don’t make any changes. But, we suggest you add an additional goal from one of the other pillars.

So, in the end, you should have a minimum of 6 goals, ideally one in each pillar, but if you’re already killing one or more of the pillars, challenge yourself by taking an additional goal in another pillar.

ACCOUNTABILITY

There is a daily/weekly goal tracker (printed at the gym, or pdf format HERE) for you to use to chart your progress. Under each pillar, list your goals and be as specific as possible. Then, as you complete a goal for the day, mark off your accomplishment for the designated day/week.

Keep your chart at the gym with your classmates, or print and hang it somewhere you’ll see it every day. Over time you’ll notice on your sheet where your fitness/overall health could be lacking/thriving based on how complete/incomplete your chart is.
