THE ASCENT

32 Levels. How High Can You Go?

The Ascent is your physical challenge. Over the course of the Fall Challenge, you'll work your way through 32 progressively harder levels designed to test strength, endurance, conditioning, and determination.

You'll start at Level 1 and earn your way up. Each level has a specific challenge you must successfully complete before moving on to the next.

Some levels will play to your strengths. Others might expose a weakness. That's the point.

You don't have to be the strongest or fastest person in the gym - you just have to keep climbing. Maximum one level per day.

Your goal: reach the highest level you can before the challenge ends.

MOVE

100,000 Steps. Every Week. No Catching Up.

This one is simple - but that doesn't mean it'll be easy.

Your goal is to hit 100,000 steps every week throughout the challenge. Walk, run, hike, take the stairs, walk the dog, pace while you're on the phone - it all counts.

But there's one rule that makes MOVE a challenge:

Miss 100,000 steps in a week and you're eliminated from the MOVE portion of the challenge.

You can't bank extra steps from the week before, and you can't make them up the following week. Every week is a fresh 100K.

It's about consistency, daily movement, and finding ways to be more active outside of your workouts.

 EXPLORE

Get Outside. Go Somewhere New. Take On the Challenge.

Every two weeks, EXPLORE takes the challenge outside the walls of Finish Strong.

We'll reveal a new local destination and challenge designed to get you moving, exploring, and experiencing some of the best active spaces around the Myrtle Beach area.

Think parks, trails, outdoor workouts, scavenger-style challenges, biking, walking, team tasks and a few surprises along the way.

Some you may complete solo. Some will be a lot more fun with your challenge partner or team.

The goal isn't just exercise.

It's to go somewhere, do something, and make the challenge an experience.

NO SUGAR

Can You Break Up With Added Sugar?

This may end up being the toughest challenge of all.

For the duration of the challenge, you'll work to eliminate added sugars and obvious sugary foods from your diet.

That means no candy, cookies, cakes, donuts, ice cream, sugary drinks, sweetened coffee drinks, regular soda, syrups, sweetened cereals, desserts and other foods loaded with added sugar.

What CAN you have? Naturally occurring sugars found in whole foods - like fruit, vegetables and plain dairy - are allowed.

This isn't about avoiding every gram of sugar on a nutrition label. It's about becoming aware of added sugar, reading labels, changing habits, and realizing just how often sugar sneaks into your day.

You may be surprised by what you learn - and by how different you feel.

 

THE BIG QUESTION

Four challenges. Four completely different tests.

THE ASCENT tests what you can do.

MOVE tests your consistency.

EXPLORE gets you outside your routine.

NO SUGAR tests your habits.

Sign up solo, with a friend, or with a team.

WILL YOU COMPLETE ALL... OR NONE?
