Hi everyone and welcome to the
Maxine's (and Max) Challenge 2015 thread!!
Registration opens today and the challenge will start on Monday 23 February 2015.
However, you can register now and start now, and have 2 weeks extra up your sleeve to start making progress toward your final result.
For Maxine's Challenge - there are 2 categories. Tone and Shape and Get Strong. Here is what is says on the website for how to select which category to enter...
******************************************************
When registering for the Challenge you have an option to choose which program you would like to follow based on your fitness goals.
Tone & Shape – Designed for women who:
- are currently carrying a reasonable amount of body fat
- are relatively new to serious weight training programs
- want a leaner, athletic and more toned physique
- may have been in better shape in the past and want to turn back the clock !
If you want to strip fat and shape your body with exercise then this is the plan for you. For many women, a lean and toned figure is the ultimate goal. And this program can help you get there. It's not just about losing weight or being thin. It's about achieving that athletic toned and healthy body that sets you apart. We want you to hit the weights, embrace cardio, and commit to a disciplined diet for 12 weeks, and we promise outstanding results.
Get Strong – Designed for women who:
are currently in
- reasonable shape and carrying some good muscle tone
- have a petite frame, are quite thin but want to build shape and definition
- have solid experience in weight training programs.
- that are currently training and regulars at the gym
- want to take their physiques to the next level
- require functional strength and power for their sport
- want a 'competition' type preparation and physique
For you girls who are ready to take that next step with your health, fitness and commitment to training, this is your choice. Our Get Strong training and nutrition plans are designed to build strength and add muscle to your frame. This means really stepping up in the gym with hard training and a commitment to push harder and heavier than ever. It means paying close attention to your diet to support optimum results. If your passion is exercise, or you love to play sport that requires strength and power, this step up program is designed to give you outstanding results in only 12 short weeks.

This will be my 3rd Maxine's Challenge. I did the 2013 challenge and got to my goal.
In 2014 I bummed out - just went up and down the whole time but my head wasn't really in it.
This year I am pretty much already at my maintenance but I want to really see what I can do in terms of getting stronger and fitter. I'd like to lose a few kilos, but my goal is not weight - it's aesthetic. I want to whittle away my waist and get my shoulders and arms in great condition. No more wobbles!!
I'm looking forward to having some MFP friends join in on the journey.
Who is in???
