Challenge
Sept. 26 – Nov. 6, 2026
You. Only better.
It's a 6-week health & well-being game
Playing for points in each of the 7 Daily Habits: nutrition, exercise, mobility, sleep, hydration, well-being and reflection.
It's not about earning a perfect score every day
(But that's not against the rules!) It's about having the courage to start and the willingness to change.
While we're at it, everything is better with friends!
Team up with your community, hold each other accountable for personal goals, and build bonds around well-being that last long after the Challenge ends.

If you search the Internet for pelvic floor dysfunction, the reports will tell you it primarily affects women. Well, I can tell you from firsthand experience that guys are not exempt.

As the lyrics go, “I may not be as great as I once was, but I’m as great once as I ever was.” I know I can still lay the smack down in the gym if I want to and shame my younger clients – but they’ll be able to do it again tomorrow and I’ll need a few days…
If you feel tight, immobile, and stiff – you’re not alone. Our modern lifestyles can leave us feeling aged beyond our actual years. Working a desk job, being inactive, and not moving more than a short walk here and there adds up. The result? A lack of mobility and a general feeling of stiffness in the body. When you lack mobility, your daily physical performance goes down, while your risk of injury goes up. You don’t need to feel this…

One was blank, the other read “Sun., Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs.” I took a deep breath and picked up my three-ring binder filled with recipes. “What are you doing?” asked a woman sitting next to me, the mother of one of my son’s teammates. “Oh, I’m planning the week’s meals,” I…
I'm having a hard time writing this recipe, because I keep drooling on the keyboard. See, I made this cast iron ribeye steak for lunch today, and looking at the pictures is triggering a (rather unsightly and definitely unexpected) Pavlovian reflex. I apologize for the mess. Still, I'll carry on for your sake, as you're going to want to make this steak ASAP. It's that good. Two special things you will need for this cast iron ribeye steak recipe: A well-seasoned…
