Welcome to

The 8-Week Winter Reboot Community!

Hosted by The Dr. Marc Method and Rise Strength Lab

 

How It Works:

This challenge is all about helping you take consistent action toward your goals—without feeling overwhelmed. Here’s how it works:

The Challenge:

Each week, you’ll have a daily action item to complete. Once you’ve knocked out your action for the day, simply head to the "Challenges" tab in the Kajabi Community app and mark it complete. You'll find an outline of the weekly actions posted below, so you’ll always know what's coming up.

Coaching Calls:

Join Coach Meredith for live coaching calls every Monday at 6 PM SKT! This is your chance to share your wins, ask questions, and get hyped up with other challengers. Can’t make it? No worries—recordings will be available, so you can catch up whenever works best for you.

To access the coaching call, go to the "Meetups" tab in the Kajabi Community app and join when you're ready.

InBody Scans:

You’ll get an InBody Scan at the start and end of the challenge. These scans give us a more detailed look at how your body composition is changing, beyond what the scale can tell you.

We’ve scheduled times for InBody Scans at Rise Strength Labs in Saskatoon. Check the Discussion thread for available times or book your time slot here.

How Winners Are Chosen:

At the end of the challenge, our team will look at how consistently you completed your daily action steps (points awarded for completion each day), as well as your overall progress from the InBody Scans (points for both fat loss & muscle gain), to determine our top three winners—who will receive some awesome prizes!

Challenge Outline

Here is an outline of the action items and goals each week in the challenge:

Bonus: Welcome Week

Let’s get settled in! During this first week, focus on preparing for the challenge. Attend your first coaching call, complete your InBody Scan, introduce yourself to the group, and start getting to know your fellow challengers! Use the "How to set your calories & macros for fat loss" resource, located at the bottom of your homepage, to set your own calorie targets before Week 1 plus review "how to track your nutrition" and "how to use a food scale" to get started.

Week 1: Protein Goal

This week, we’re dialing in on protein. Your goal is to hit your daily optimal protein target:

  • Females: Aim for a minimum of 130g per day (target range: 120g-140g).
  • Males: Aim for a minimum of 180g per day (target range: 170g-190g).

Week 2: Resistance Training Goal

It’s time to build strength! Your challenge is to strength train for at least 30 minutes, 3 times this week. Whether it’s at the gym or at home, make those muscles work! If you want to GROW muscle, you should work your way up to 45-60mins, 4-5 days per week of heavy resistance training.

Week 3: Step Goal

Time to get moving! Your target is to reach 10,000 steps per day. Get those steps in wherever you can!

Week 4: Fruit/Veggie Goal

This week’s focus is on getting more nutrient-rich foods (*fiber) into your routine. Your goal is to eat at least 600g fruit/veggies per day. Pro Tip: eat at least one serving of fruit or veggies at EVERY meal or snack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Week 5: Hydration Goal

Let’s stay hydrated! Your goal is to drink a minimum of 3 liters of liquids per day. Remember, all fluids count—except alcohol!

Week 6: Sleep Goal

Prioritize rest this week. Aim to get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night to recharge and support your progress.

Week 7: Increase Resistance Training

Time to ramp things up! You've established a baseline of fitness, now your challenge is to increase your strength training to minimum 45mins, 4 times per week! 

Week 8: Mindset Work & Stress Reduction

Choose ONE stress-reducing strategy for 5 mins a day—either deep diaphragmatic breathing OR stretching/mobility. 

Let’s tackle your mindset through intentional  "journaling". Either start or end your day with gratitude & reflection. What did you do well, and why? What can you improve upon, and how? What is at least one thing you are grateful for? This can be as easy as writing it on a sticky note or brain-dumping into a notebook.

Be sure to book your second InBody scan and we will announce the challenge winners within a couple of weeks!

Get The Most Out of This Challenge

Whether your goal is fat loss or simply getting back into a routine after a busy summer, here are a few tips to help you get the best results from this challenge:

 

Tip 1: Make a Plan

To stay on top of your challenge tasks each week, it's a great idea to create a simple plan. Whether it’s adding your action steps to your calendar or setting daily reminders, having something in place will help keep you focused. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just do whatever works best for you to keep the challenge front and center!

Tip 2: Focus on Your Nutrition

Over the next 8 weeks, you’ll receive a weekly action step designed to help you improve your nutritional habits and get the best results possible.

If you’re looking to take things up a notch, we highly encourage you to track your nutrition—specifically your calories and macros (protein, carbs, and fats). You can use any nutrition tracking app you like, but if you need a suggestion, we recommend MacrosFirst. It’s free, easy to use, and if you want to unlock the premium features, you can use the code Macros25 for 25% off.

And don’t forget to check the FAQ for more tips on how to track your nutrition effectively!

Tip 3: Get Support In the Winter Reboot Community

We built this community to help you succeed! It’s the perfect place to ask questions, share your wins, and stay motivated throughout the challenge.
