The New Year is around the corner, so that means it is about time for the 2021 JMP-New Year-Beat the Coach-Good Habits Challenge (formally known as the New Year-Beat the Coach-Clean Living Challenge.) This is the 1st Challenge in the JMP Challenge Series for 2021. Last January we made healthy changes during the challenge that lasted some of us all year long.  This time I want you guys to take it to the next level!  So I’m changing the Challenge, making it harder and bringing it in line with the Precision Nutrition program we are all familiar with. We are going to eat better, exercise more, sleep better and develop better fitness and nutrition habits in January!   And of course earn valuable JMP Series points in the process, if you can beat me! So here is the Challenge- Starting January 1st and going until January 14th (14 days) we are going to establish some great nutrition, exercise and lifestyle habits that will hopefully set the tone for 2021. Here are the rules- We will: Eat the appropriate portions according to our individual goals (determined by me and you) Eat lean protein at every meal Eat fruits and/or veggies at every meal Eat healthy fats at every meal Eat smart carbs only after a workout Drink 6 cups on water everyday Exercise at least 30 minutes everyday Get at least 7.5 hours of sleep every night How The Challenge will be scored- Everything will be done on the honor system.  If you cheat, you will be cheating yourself and if you are fine with that then there is nothing I can do about it. You will earn a point for each thing you complete on the ‘We will’ list, each day.  There is no set total for each day as individual meals will vary from person to person.  Here is an example of a perfect day for someone who eats three meals a day: Day 1 Example- Breakfast- portion control (1 point), lean protein (1 point), veggies (1 point), fats (1 point) 60 minute workout (1 point) Lunch- portion control (1 […]
