Former athletes getting back to fit.

You were an athlete and played team sports growing up.  As you’ve gotten older, you’ve let things slide physically without the team environment.

You’ve tried to eat better. You’ve done dry January. You’ve had stops and starts at the gym.

You’ve been in shape before - you don’t need fad diets or expensive psycho-babble health coaching programs to get there again.  

But you do need structure and consistency over time or you wouldn’t be here.  And being consistent is MUCH easier with the structure and accountability of a team.

FortPeak 90 Day Challenge

  • 1) Flexible Food & Fitness

    A simple, flexible, and effective food and fitness program for 90 days.

  • 2) Team of Athletes

    Invite friends and former athletes trying to get fit again to climb the hill with you

  • 3) Accountability

    Daily/Weekly/Monthly Accountability to ensure you get back on the horse if you fall off.

  • Drink 3 Large Yetis of Water per Day (~100 oz)

    Eat 2 meals per day in an 8 hour window. 11a-7p or 12-8p are most common but you decide. Avoid snacking.

    Protein in both meals: Chicken, fish, beef, pork, turkey, eggs, etc.  Cooked however you want (fried food should be rare).

    Vegetables in both meals - a meaningful size, 2 fists or more per meal.

    Protein shake (150~200 cal) Encouraged to drink this in the morning, outside your eating window, so your body can absorb the protein. We’re getting strong and lean, not skinny fat.

    Otherwise, eat real, unprocessed food.  If you like lists, start with this list.  But also condiments/sauces/marinades in moderation are fine.  Bread is discouraged. No soda/cookies/chips/candy/desserts.

  • You never have to go more than a few days without a cheat meal or a drink.

    2 cheat meals a week - For these meals, don’t worry about the rules. Don’t throw your week away, but be flexible. Stick to two meals per day, but in a cheat meal - eat a cheeseburger or have a dessert.

    Alcohol: During these 90 days, aim for 6 drinks or less per week - Alcohol w/ soda water, Guinness, or light beer. Again, don’t throw your whole week’s progress away with 12 drinks, but enjoy a few.

    The cheat meals and the alcohol can be on different days, and they should make strict adherence to your other meals each week much more sustainable.  

  • Burpee Challenge

    Start with an individualized daily burpee goal scaled based on current fitness.  Takes < 5 minutes and can be done anywhere. Guys start ranging from not being able to do any burpees (bodyweight squats + modified pushups) to guys who are able to do a lot of burpees daily already.

    Burpees build strength and jack up your heart rate.  Wherever you start, you’ll steadily ramp 1-2/week and you’ll be shocked by your progress.

    Ruck

    1x/week the guys meet in person for a ruck. Attending this weekly with the group is critical for your challenge success.

    Workouts

    3 Workouts a week - any three, you pick. Some lift, some run, some do pushups, some do classes.
