As you may know, our newest challenge is starting on October 5th, #LevelUp45.

Over the next few weeks, your coaches are going to be sharing with you some AMAZING strategies to help you be successful with the challenge.

The goal with #LevelUp45 is to help you create and reinforce habits relating to your exercise, nutrition, mindset and recovery.

The challenge was designed to be hard. It’s not easy to commit to doing something everyday for 45 days, let alone 5 things for 45 days.

You’re going to struggle at times.

You’re going to want to go back to the habits or ways you were doing things before.

You may want to quit.

And that’s ok to feel like that, that’s how we operate as human beings!

The reality is, many of us have one of these components dialed in. You may workout 7 days a week, or you may track your nutrition every day or you may not have an issue getting 8 hours of sleep every night.

But I’m confident you aren’t dialed into all of the components.

If you are, awesome! You’re an outlier. You basically have crushed all of your fitness goals.

So what’s next for you? Maybe there are things you can add to your current routine to help you #LevelUp?

Our fitness will never improve as rapidly as we want if we only dialed into one element. The truth is we need to be dialed into consistent habits and routines that impact all of the elements of our wellness.

I call this the Entourage Effect of Fitness.

The Entourage Effect of Fitness refers to all of the components that impact your health (exercise, nutrition, mindset, recovery, etc) in a positive way, working together to produce a greater effect than working in isolation.

Think of this as a team. A high school basketball team would beat the best basketball player on the planet 10 times out of 10.

Can you improve your overall health by just moving more or exercising more?
Sure!

Can you improve your overall health by following a specific nutrition plan and not drinking alcohol?
Of course!

Can you improve your overall health by practicing better recovery strategies, such as sleeping 7-8 hours or not staring at your phone screen before bed?
Yes!

If you’re still reading, it sounds like you want to win the game faster. You’re tired of getting in your own way. You want a plan and strategies to help you reach your goals.

Shreeja has shown incredible progress during her time at PTS and we are so lucky to have her as part of our community! Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our August POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. Joining Prototype was one of the best decisions I have made in my fitness journey. My first class was a blur of burpees and sweat, I could hardly keep up. A big shout out to all the coaches who are top tier, the workouts are constantly varied but always effective.I have hit the strength goals I never thought possible. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? Prototype’s tight knit community is unique. It has taught me that showing up, even on tough days, builds more than just muscle- it builds grit and community. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love dancing - it is one of my happy spaces. I am a homebody- love to spend time at home with family and friends. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? I was inconsistent with fitness and struggled to stay motivated. I needed a structured way to build resilience. The Prototype community has helped me push through self doubt. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My goal is to keep pushing my limits. I am not just chasing goals, I am excited to see how far I can go and just keep hitting the PR’s on the way 😀 6.)
