Kick start the New Year with a more sustainable
and realistic approach to healthy living!
Registration is now open!
WHAT IS REVUP 2019?
Recovery-Exercise-Variety~Unlimited Possibilities
is a six-week challenge for teams of two, designed for motivating and encouraging members to focus on the process of incorporating a complete health and fitness program into their lives. By utilizing a team-based competition and weekly, short-term goals, REVUP makes adopting healthy habits easy and fun.
This year, participants will utilize the ChallengeRunner
(available for Android and iOS) online wellness platform for tracking health and fitness goals during the competition. Participants are given weekly health and fitness goals that are easier to achieve at the beginning of the competition and become progressively more challenging in future weeks as participants build on previous success. Completing goals earns points that are totaled throughout the challenge. The team with the highest point total at the end of REVUP will win the grand prize of $500!
CHALLENGE DETAILS
Teams of two may be member-created, or participants without a partner will be paired based on similar exercise schedules.
REVUP 2019 runs from January 6th - February 16th
All Liberty members ages 15 and up may participate. Entry will be limited to 150 participants.
Entry Fee: $35 per person
REVUP 2019 Starts January 6th!
Participants may also enroll in the REVUP Body Comp-etition with before and after assessments to compete for an additional chance at winning a $150 Liberty Athletic gift card (additional $20 fee).

Get a Head Start on 2019 New Year's Resolutions
from the desk of Susan Cutshaw, M.S.
It's that time of year again when many people think about transitioning into the new year by setting health and wellness goals. Realizing one's vision is not always easy so instead of waiting until January, take steps now to create a realistic plan.
Whether the goals are developing a better diet, weight loss, or increasing physical activity, it's about the journey. There are no quick fixes. According to registered dietician Rebecca Turner, being consistent and patient is the way to cultivate that healthier lifestyle.
Hopefully some or all of these principles will be helpful when thinking about the coming year's resolutions.
-
Create a reasonable timeline and start date - set a date to start and then 8,10, or 12 week goals instead of looking too far into the future. This can help avoid the feelings of mission impossible.
-
Be specific with visions and goals - instead of making broad statements like wanting to be more fit or eating healthier; actually defining what that vision looks like may work better in the long run.
-
Make objectives measurable - set 2 to 3 weekly, achievable objectives which are in line with the intended overall goals and vision.
-
Make a list of what you'll need to get started, like exercise gear, and have it ready to go when you are.
-
Borrow skills from past achievements - using techniques from past successes can be useful tools in overcoming roadblocks to victory.
-
Be mindful during meals - slowing down when eating may result in eating less and enjoying the food more.
-
Plan meals - this can help eliminate those urges in consuming the not-so-healthy treats.
-
Move - getting up and moving around every 30 minute increases metabolism and feels pretty good as well.
-
Sleep - there is so much out there about the benefits of getting enough sleep and when we're sleeping we're not eating.
-
Be kind to yourself- keep in mind that transformations are difficult and life does happen so when there's a misstep in the well-oiled plans, let it go. Tomorrow's a new day...
