DAY 30!!! Congratulations to everyone participating in the Paleo Challenge! This has been by far the most successful and active challenge that we have done. Let’s wrap this thing up.

Final points for days 22-30 are due no later than tomorrow by noon. After photos must be submitted tomorrow. If you owe money (and several of you do), pay up.

The Dunk Truck is back tomorrow

Wednesday, September 18th from 3-7PM
The cost is $40 for first timers (We’re getting a $10 discount off the normal price and everyone got a little cash back last time!). If this is your second dunk, be sure to let Rachel know.
Everyone is welcome to get dunked whether you participated in the Paleo Challenge or not, whether this is your first time or you do it once a year! Friends and family are welcome to get dunked. You must reserve a time in advance if you want to get dunked. Sign up here!

WHAT IS HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING?
A fitness test used to determine a person’s body composition. Several variables, including your underwater weight, are used to get the most accurate results. This is why it’s known as The Gold Standard.

WHY SHOULD I GET DUNKED?
Because hydrostatic weighing is the most accurate method to determine body composition! It will give you the truth and a much deeper look beyond the scale. It opens the gateway to tweaking your nutrition & fitness programs.

HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE?
10 Minutes! In that time you will walk in the lab, change clothes, submerge in water, change back and review your results.

WHAT DO I WEAR?
Tight fitting clothing! Compression shorts for guys & bathing suits for women.

SHOULD I EAT BEFORE?
EAT HOW YOU NORMALLY EAT IN A GIVEN DAY; NOTHING TOO HEAVY!

IS IT OKAY TO WORKOUT BEFORE MY DUNK?
It’s okay to workout before your dunk. Make sure you have ample time to recover your breath. Oh, and take a shower before entering the “pool!”
