Forward 45 fitness challenge
Workout 45 minutes daily
Walk or run 1 mile daily
Eat .7 grams of protein per lb body weight daily
Drink 2/3 body weight in ounces of water daily
30 second cold plunge or shower daily
No alcohol and/or no social media
Attend 20 JD Elite classes total (3x week average)
At the beginning of 2024 we created the Forward 45 Challenge because we wanted a sustainable fitness challenge that created positive habits through discipline, hard work and fueling your body without extreme restrictions. Though the water and protein intake is very specific, we want to remind you that we are looking for progress over perfection. Add a protein into each meal, drink a cup of water before your coffee, walk the dog after work. Work towards your estimated protein/water intake and count it if you are within 10-15 grams/ounces. Again, working towards the goal is what we are looking for. Don’t get hung up on the numbers.
Grab a card at the gym to track your days!
Once completed, you will receive a finisher t-shirt and an exclusive discount on our memberships. We will also donate $5.00 to the National MS Society.
