​On to week #2 for March Madness. The bracket has been narrowed down to 8 exercises now. But remember it is now 50 reps of those exercises.
You have one week to finish these eight exercises. Go Team Innovative!!

​As always we are constantly seeking to find "Innovative" ways to encourage you to stay active and reach for your goals. With March Madness about to begin for the college basketball world, we decided to create our own version and don't want you to miss out on the month's long event!

This new challenge involves a bracket type format (printed out sheets will be available in the studio) with various exercises that can all be done in or outside the studio.  Read below for more details...

• The Innovative March Madness bracket begins with 16 exercises which requires either 25 reps or 25 seconds of the specific exercise. 
• You will have ONE week to complete the 16 exercises or as many as you choose.  We encourage you to do all 16 exercises but it is not a requirement and the exercises don’t need to be done in any specific order.  Once that first week is over (ie. On March 8th) you will not be allowed to go back and add an exercise you didn’t complete to your bracket. 
• For week TWO the bracket will be reduced by our Challenge Officials to 8 exercises which requires 50 reps or 50 seconds of the specific exercise and so on for the remainder of the month.  Again you will have ONE week to complete the 8 exercises or as many as you choose. 
• We will not be announcing the exercises that move forward in the bracket until the week is over, so your best chance of filling your brackets will be to do all the exercises. 
• Each week the number of exercises will be reduced but the number of reps or seconds will increase.  If you don’t complete the requirements for the exercise in the required week you cannot add it back in to your bracket.

Below or attached is the first week of the Innovative March Madness Challenge.  Note, some exercises require reps be completed on each side.  Also note, the 1 mile run is once, not 25 times. 













​
