Ashby Family Fitness Challenge

We have been discussing the possibility of having a family fitness challenge and would like every one's opinions. We thought it would be fun to encourage each other to improve our overall fitness as opposed to just weight loss. Each person interested (this could include Ian & Mason) would send in $10 which would be saved in the pot. We could either start January 1st or to help out the travelers of the family a good start might be Monday, January 5th. Here are our ideas to earn points which will need to be called into Mom at the start of each month and then they will be posted on the blog to give a little added encouragement to the stragglers. We thought it would even out the challenge by having some ways to earn a few bonus points. At the end of the contest the winner gets all the money. If there should be a tie it can be divided evenly. If you forget to call in your points within a few days you will not get the points that month!

1 point for each day you participate in at least 30 minutes of exercise.
1 bonus point for participating in a fitness event during the month.
1 bonus point for losing 5 pounds.
1 bonus point for recording all the food you eat during the month.

Please give us your comments about our ideas and any other suggestions you might have to make the challenge fun and successful. Send your ideas in as to how long to make the challenge and we will vote on the official rules including how long to have the challenge last.

Good luck in achieving your fitness goals and may the BEST Ashby win!!!!
