If you\u2019re reading this then maybe you are where I was a few years ago when I first started my journey into a fit & healthy lifestyle. I was curious. Curious about knowing what to do & what to eat, and then later \u2013 how to do it and how to cook it. (para la versi\u00f3n en espa\u00f1ol, haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, perhaps you\u2019re well into your fitness journey and you\u2019re just looking for new ideas or concepts to keep your journey fresh and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of where you are, it\u2019s always possible to challenge yourself in new ways so that your journey is long and adventurous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

ONE THING THAT THAT HELPED ME WAS STARTING SMALL. THAT WAY, I DIDN\u2019T GET BURNED OUT AND I BUILT MY CONFIDENCE OVER TIME BY TRYING NEW TRAINING METHODS AND FOODS AT MY OWN PACE.  AND THAT\u2019S WHAT THE 30-DAY EVO-LUTION IS ALL ABOUT \u2013 RUNNING YOUR OWN RACE AND SELF-EMPOWERMENT THROUGH LEARNING & DISCOVERY.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You should know that this is not and should not be considered a custom fitness & nutrition plan. That\u2019s something that you\u2019ll need to design over time through trial and error or maybe through professional 1\u00d71 guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, these are merely weekly challenges in fitness & nutrition to help you consider small ways you can change your lifestyle.  This is not an exhaustive list of things you can do; again, this is just to get you started. And I revisit these same concepts when I need to freshen my diet & training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fitness portion of the challenges, Nate Costa (@FXSportsPerform<\/a>), Under Armour Elite Trainer<\/em>, has provided 3 workouts to challenge you to be at your best in 2014.  Also, I\u2019ve teamed up with some amazing friends & fitness bloggers who are personal trainers, bodybuilding & physique athletes & competitors, boot camp instructors and even athletic coaches to give you inspiration as well! Please \u201cmeet\u201d & follow them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT 30 DAY EVO-LUTION CHALLENGE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each weekly challenge builds on the preceding week. At the end of 30 days, you would have hopefully learned how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \u201clisten\u201d to your body and attend to its needs; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. make adjustments to your training and diet to complement the goals you have set for yourself<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There are 2 tracks \u2013 the Regular Challenge<\/em> and the Advanced Mode Challenge<\/em>. It\u2019s all up to you regarding which track you decide to follow and how much YOU want to push yourself.  You are unique.  So, do what works for you, your lifestyle, your budget and your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
