Dana Linn Bailey DLB - Accountable Challenge
About the Challenge & WHY you should JOIN
Hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE. It is completely up to you and your choices and actions you take that will lead you to accomplish your goal and reach success. It’s a lot more challenging to get where you want to be without holding yourself accountable. You take full responsibility for your journey. It’s up to you to choose going to the gym, doing cardio, the right foods to eat, and how you will recover. It’s how you show up for yourself day in and day out to help you reach your goal. That is accountability.
And I am going to help you these next 8 weeks by giving you the plan, but it is still ultimately up to you if you follow it or not. I can’t make you do anything, you need to want it. This will test you physically but most importantly it will test your mental toughness. But nothing worthwhile ever came from being easy, so you will need to dig deep these next 8 weeks if you want a chance to WIN BIG! This is your opportunity to make yourself a priority and get in the best shape of your life! And if you follow through, no matter what you will WIN!
Challenge begins Monday Sept 23rd.
LETS GO!

Optional, but highly recommended: Use this sheet for your photos. Or post a paper with Name, Date, Weight on the wall next to you.
Tips for taking progress pictures:
-
1
Full Body (head to toes in full frame). DO NOT take photos in mirrors. Have someone else take them or get a tripod. The more seriously you take these, the more helpful they will be to you!
-
2
Use the Same Pose. Must have front, side and rear full body pose. Do same exact pose for your before photo and your after photo. You can’t compare a relaxed pose to a flexing pose, not the same.
-Front Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides
-Side Pose: turn directly to the side with arms raise straight out in front or at your side (your choice)
-Back Pose: stand relaxed with arms at your sides
*Optional: Your Best Pose: You may choose to do a flexing photo for this. Either front double bicep or back double bicep. To show off your hard work.
-
3
Take your photos at the same time of day. Do them first thing in the morning so you have no variables and you can really judge your progress weekly
-
4
Take your photos in the same location, with the same lighting, and a clutter free background. Lighting is most important. Taking your photos at the gym under fluorescent lights is going to look very different than taking them at home in natural light. Find a nice natural light that is NOT too drastic. Natural light will give you more honest results. Find a plain blank wall in your house and always stand in the same exact location.
-
5
Wear the same outfit. Wearing the same outfit is helpful because when your body actually starts transforming, that outfit will start fitting you differently which can be a great tool!
-Females: bathing suit or sport bra and shorts
-Males: shirtless and shorts
-
6
Download a collage app. Compare your pictures side by side utilizing a collage app weekly to check on your progress. Put your oldest photo to the left and your newest photo to the right in the same poses to really clearly see your progress. You will need to have a collage app for the final submissions.
