WHAT’S THE GOAL OF MARCH MADNESS?
The goal of the challenge is to help you on your fitness journey if your goal is to lose weight, eat healthier or get stronger by motivating you to get moving! The concept: transform your lifestyle by creating common-sense healthy habits and earn points daily for making choices that ultimately improve your health.
One of the things we hear often is, “I need accountability!”, well that’s the name of this game. This challenge provides the friendly competition and accountability you need to make your fitness journey fun AND effective.

📸 HOW TO TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS
Take your BEFORE pictures no later then Sunday March 6th with a sign that says “INCREASE THE PEACH #MM2022” with your name, date, and weight and submit below. Make sure to submit front, back & side photos! KEEP your BEFORE PHOTOS!! At the end of the challenge (by end of day April 7th) you will submit your AFTER photos holding a sign that says “INCREASE THE PEACH #MM2022” with your name, current date, and current weight. Tips for taking progress pictures:
- Choose the same angle/pose. Don’t do relaxed pose for before and then flexed pose for after. Needs to be the same exact pose! Make sure it is FULL BODY! Also avoid taking photos in mirrors. Have someone else take them or get a tripod. The more seriously you take these, the more helpful they will be to you!
Front Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides
Side Pose: turn directly to the side with arms raise straight out in front
Back Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides - Take them at the same time of day (Coach Chè does hers first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything.)
- Take them in the same location, with same lighting, and a clutter free background. Lighting is most important. Taking pics at the gym under fluorescent lights is going to look very different then taking them at home in natural light. Find a nice natural light that is NOT too drastic. Natural light will give you more honest results. Find a plain blank wall in your house and always stand in the same exact location!
- Wear the same outfit. Wearing the same outfit is helpful because when your body actually starts transforming, that outfit will start fitting you different which can be great weight to see your progress.
Ladies: bathing suit or sport bra and shorts.
Men: shirtless and shorts - For some it maybe benefitial to take a photo each morning to compare through out the 31 days and see how your body really changes. Otherwise, we suggest taking a photos weekly and Ccompare your pictures side by side utilizing a collage app to check on your progress. Put your oldest photo to the left and your newest photo to the right in the same poses to really clearly see your progress.
