How many times have you sworn yourself to a new diet, a new exercise routine, or a week without sugar? And then found yourself just days later chowing down a chocolate bar you’ve impulsively bought at the servo?

If this sounds familiar to you, please don’t beat yourself up. In a world of distractions, a society hooked on instant gratification and a culture that tells us to “treat ourselves”, – it’s hard to go without and fight cravings for things that don’t truly serve us.

Suppose you struggle with staying consistent in your healthy behaviours and routines. In that case, our fitness challenge is what you need for a push in the right direction – towards discipline and ultimately freedom.

Jocko Willink, a Navy SEAL for 20 years and author of “Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual”, famously said, “our freedom to operate and maneuver had increased through disciplined, discipline equals freedom.”

Here at Lose5, we can’t help but agree with Jocko. While discipline and freedom seem like a paradox that sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, they are very connected. For example, if you want more free time, you must follow a more disciplined time management system, and you have to be disciplined to say “no” to things that eat up your time. If you want to lose those last 5 kilos, you need to go without those foods that will set you back.

So how does Lose5 support you to go without and build your discipline muscle? We swear by the power of going without to build discipline and willpower. Our weekly challenges will teach you to get comfortable with going without cutting out the daily habits that stop you from achieving your desired outcomes.

Our weekly team challenges are simple because we believe that good health and wellbeing should be accessible to everyone. Whether it’s a week off the booze or committing to a month of consistent workouts, the Lose5 group challenge will get you comfortable going without the things that will prevent your progress.

Flexing our mind muscles and doing things that challenge us every day of our lives will create routines that allow us to regain control of life’s steering wheel – bringing freedom to focus and achieve what truly matters to us.

When you join our challenge, you’ll meet new people, make friends, smash goals, and meet a community of like-minded people who are there for you. The meaningful connections, encouragement, sense of camaraderie and shared mission will keep you committed to learning to let go of what isn’t serving you.

Although all these actions will be uncomfortable at first, you will get more comfortable over time. As you continue to spend time attacking your weaknesses, they will become strengths over time.

The Lose5 challenge is here to help you know yourself and better yourself. So, what are you waiting for, no more excuses… it’s time to get both physically and mentally strong. By going without and embracing discipline, we can be what we want to be. Get involved today.

Cheers for now,

Peter
