How have those new year’s resolutions been coming? If you’re like 80% of Americans, those “commitments to change” just aren’t sticking. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just human nature - we’re prone to make grand gestures, stick with them for 2 weeks or so, but abandon them before the habits can form enough to stick.

Good news: we’re back.

For those unfamiliar, we’ve been running these 60 day fitness improvement sessions for a couple years now. The themes are fairly simple: community, cooperation, and a little bit of competition. Basically, you’re more likely to succeed if you have other people helping you out, holding you up, and spurring you on. So we create an environment that encourages you to set goals and take steps to achieve them without worrying about judgment or mockery - all with a healthy dose of good old-fashioned competition.

This season of 60toSexy is no different: we start on February 1st and for 60 days, you’ll push yourself towards accomplishing whatever goals you’ve set for yourself: run a 5k without stopping, lift 300 pounds on a deadlift, or maybe just “don’t miss a workout for 2 full months.” You’ll log your workouts with Fitocracy and update the other members on our Tumblr site at least once a week on your progress. As always, at the end of the 60 days we’ll crown a winner (as tallied through Fitocracy points) and periodically throughout the season we’ll be dropping people for inactivity.

This season has a new focus beyond just activity though: your diet. We’re going to be spending as much thought and energy on what you eat as what you do, and helping you achieve your goals through what fuel you’re providing your body.

So when does this new season start? Tomorrow, February 1st, running through through April 2nd, so you better figure out what your gut reaction is and decide whether or not you want to make some changes. If you’re ready, send us a note on Tumblr or shoot Barrett an email: Spytap At Spytap Dot Net. As always, space is limited to about a dozen people, and if history serves as any indication, we’ll fill up fast.

What can you accomplish in 60 days? How far can you push yourself? Who can you be with 60 days of honest work? 

Find out this season.
