#BINGO
You all know how to play BINGO, right? You have to get five in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. That’s what you’ll be doing this month with our super special Challenger BINGO cards!
How it works: Download the BINGO CARD below. When you complete a task in one of the boxes, cross it off (or place a sticker on it, color it in, whatever you like). **You may only earn one square per day.**
If you get BINGO quickly, keep trying to fill in more squares and get more BINGOs! Spoiler alert: We’ll give you a second card mid-month if you need more of a challenge!
When you get a BINGO, use the hashtag #BINGO and post on the Facebook page – you’ll be entered to win the Challenger of the Month prize!
Use the hashtag #BINGO in the Challenge 2018 Facebook group to keep the conversation going!

The Holiday Challenge is Coming!
Can you believe it? November is next month, and with that comes our annual Holiday Challenge! We always love this time of year, as it is where the Challenge got it’s start – it’s like a homecoming! Weekly focuses, giveaways, and lots of making merry are what we are all about in November and December.
Here’s the great news: YOU ARE ALEADY ENROLLED IN THE HOLIDAY CHALLENGE! As a 2018 Challenger, the Holiday Challenge is part of your package and you do not have to do anything!
We want to let you know now since we are promoting the Holiday Challenge this month, and we don’t want you to think it is a separate group. Starting November 1, you will see some new faces as new challengers join us for the last two months of the year!

Workout of the Season (#WOS): The Charlie Tree!
Good ol’ Charlie Brown. As we move towards the holiday season in our last quarter of the 2018 Challenge, we wanted to bring back Charlie’s small but mighty Christmas tree before we even see the Great Pumpkin because it’s such a simple but effective workout!
This strength workout that counts down reps as you work your way through it. Perform it straight through 1-2 times, 2-3 times per week post run/walk/cardio to see results!
