About The Challenge

The 12 Week Challenge is your opportunity to make some positive changes in your health and lifestyle!  Take 12 weeks to change your exercise and eating habits and you could win a Kumuka adventure and look your best for the 2008 Flight Centre Global Gathering!

The competition is run globally across all Flight Centre businesses. To be eligible, you need to submit some before and after photos, take note of certain girth measurements and be prepared to write about the changes you experienced throughout the competition and how it's changed your outlook on your health and lifestyle.

Judging

Three criteria will be used in judging:

• Visual
  A front and side shot must be taken prior to the competition begining - these are the "before" shots.  The same photos must taken at the end of the competition which are your "after" photos.  These photos should be in as minimal clothing as possible to enable the judges to determine the areas of greatest change over the course of the competition.  Photographs must be taken of the entrant in gym wear, swimwear or underwear:
  • Females: gym clothes / two piece swimwear / underwear / short shorts
  • Males: gym clothes / swimwear / underwear

• Measurements
  You must supply girth measurements in centimeters (cm), both before the competition starts and when it ends:
  • Neck (middle of neck)
  • Chest (nipple height)
  • Abdominals (belly button)
  • Hips (widest part as viewed from behind)
  • Upper thigh (widest part)
  You must also supply your resting heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).  To do this, be seated for a couple of minutes, then take your pulse for 15 seconds and multiply by 4.  Contact your Healthwise Global representative for assistance with these measurements.
• Written
  Tell us in 350 words or less how getting into fantastic shape has affected your life.  To be the Healthwise Global 12 Week Champion you must show improvements in all aspects of your life, not just the physical.  We also want to hear from a relative or friend as to what difference they feel that the challenge has made in BOTH your lives.

Entry

All submissions for the 12 Week Challenge will be done online through this website.  Check the rules or contact your Healthwise representative for more information!
