Run to Win

John Berardi at Precision Nutrition has come up with a new promotion to get people in shape. He is hosting the Body Transformation Challenge for folks who are willing to take some measurements and before and after photos of themselves.

There are three prizes:

• Grand Prize: Free groceries & supplements for 1yr
• 1st Runner Up Prize: Free meal delivery for 3 months
• 2nd Runner Up Prize: Free camera & Results Tracker

There are a few catches to the contest, though. First, you need to own Precision Nutrition to take part. Second, you have to want to change your body. That singles me out; I am happy with my body and have no desire to transform it into anything else. My interest in his site is all about performance and not about fat or weight loss.

The contest starts next week and registration for it is open through mid-July. Head over to Body Transformation Challenge home page for full details, and a slew of before and after pictures of people that have already succeeded with the program.

I just discovered the Precision Nutrition Forums through Alwyn Cosgrove. The forums used to be a bonus for paid customers of John Berardi’s Precision Nutrition program, but he recently opened the forum up to the public. It has a lot of e-books, exercise programs, and a good back log of nutrition and exercise related Q&A from the customers and members of the forum that are answered by experts in the field.

I signed up for the forum about a half hour ago, and I have seen enough to know that there are a few programs that I am going to try out after I run the Boston Marathon. You don’t need to register to be able to read the topics; you can just click through and see what other people have written. You can download some of the PDF e-books that are on the site, but some of them are still protected and for member’s of the system only. It looks like all of the interviews are for member download only. There is still a lot to see, though, and I am looking forward to digging through the archives.

I will link some of the more interesting ones that I find here at Run to Win.
