Welcome to the President's Challenge for the month of March, 2006! 
What is the Presidential Challenge? It's a free, easy-to-join opportunity to challenge yourself to greater fitness. And, in case you're concerned, it's completely nonpolitical (except that our society as a whole benefits when we get healthier).
All Core folk are welcome (newcomers, returning Challengers, beginning exercisers, fitness buffs, and all others) to join us to motivate and inspire one another to better fitness.
The Challenge works in a few ways: 1) it gives us each individually a way to record and monitor our progress with our personal fitness regimens; 2) we can each set a personal goal or challenge (number of points, say, or "earn my X award by such and such date") and then let each other know how we've done; and 3) we can compare our points totals with one another.
You'll see this last feature on the President's site (I think it's called "compare with others"). You enter the Hard Core Challengers in the check box, and the date parameters you want to compare (for example, 1/1 to 1/31/06), and it will tell you what percentile your points total places you in. If you want to be really competititve, you can aim to be in the 80th or higher percentile of total points accumulated. But, if you don't care to compete with others (if you don't find that motivating, for instance), you don't ever even have to look at this.
You can use this thread as a place to chat, report your individual progress, etc. We strive to be supportive, motivating, encouraging and informative.
I think it was Sulee who dubbed us the PreChas, as in Core preachers and President's Challenge abbreviated. So welcome, new and returning PreChas! Post your personal goal for the month, and let's keep moving and "reporting to the President!"
Here are the instructions to participate:

I joined our new local gym. I never thought I'd do such a thing, but I did it. And I'm really enjoying it.
