How does the challenge work?
Each participant earns points for themselves and their team in four categories: Improving your Mind, Improving your Body, Improving your Heart and Improving your Soul. You can view the specific categories on the “Weekly Scorecard” by clicking here. This form will be your guide towards success as well help you earn and keep track of your team points. Each week, all participants will log-in by clicking the "Enter Scores" button at the top of the page and then enter your personal ID and password. Once logged in, participants can enter their points
There is an inherent health value in recording and following your own daily and weekly habits. It can give you great insight into the areas where you are strong and areas where you may need to focus. It is important to remember that this is a fun and friendly team competition and that the recording of these points is done on the honor system.
There will be fun, entertaining and informative weekly seminars and demonstrations held around town by some of the most talented local health and wellness professionals. You can see our calendar of events on our home page.
You will receive a weekly newsletter with healthy information such as health and exercise tips, healthy recipes as well as a calendar of community events for that week and yes, ways you could earn EXTRA CREDIT points!
I know, you are saying, “How can I fit all this in?” Well, you don’t have to earn points in all of the areas to be successful, although the more you participate the more points you will earn for your team. There may be one or two areas where you are strong and can help your team earn points or there may be a few areas that you need some help in and your team can help you stay motivated to reach your goals.
What are the benefits?
For starters you can look, feel and function better if you eat well, exercise and change some unhealthy habits. By focusing on ways to improve your mind, body, heart and soul you could have more energy and be more productive in both your personal and professional life. Also, if you are in business or part of a school or organization, studies have shown that organizations that participate in a structured wellness program of this type can actually reduce the cost of health care for it’s members and boost productivity!
Although the Madison Challenge truly is a competition where everyone wins, at the end of the 10-week program, each participant will be given raffle tickets based on their level of points earned that can be used to enter to win some amazing prizes that will be raffled off at the Madison Challenge Health and Wellness EXPO and Awards Ceremony.
