"New year - new me" or rather "new year - better me"? With our #freshstart challenge we want to help you to become a better you with healthy and new habits.

Because we know that sticking to resolutions is often difficult, we created a 30-day challenge to test your mindset, fitness, health, nutrition, sleep, relationships, and performance and... improve productivity skills.

So that you can make your dreams come true, we give you a daily task in our challenge template from one of the areas of sport, nutrition, social life, mindset or sleep. The only thing you have to do is complete the task, preferably document (and link us) in our Facebook group or on Instagram and thereby grow on a personal and health level.

To make it easier for you to take part, we have started a WhatsApp newsletter and created a Facebook group . We will regularly remind you about the challenge via WhatsApp, motivate you and provide you with exclusive content - e.g. workout videos, recipes, habit tracker, tips etc. - that is not available on any of our social media channels. Registering for the newsletter is quick and easy by clicking on the following link:

The Facebook group is mainly about exchanging ideas with other participants in the challenge. We can motivate each other and share successes. You want to show the others the lunch you just prepared, leave feedback or give someone a compliment? Anything is possible in the Facebook group - you can also share the challenges you are struggling with. To join our Facebook group, you can either click here or join the group “ Löwenanteil Community | Welcome to the pride of lions 🦁 ” via the search bar at. We look forward to you!

A special reward awaits you at the end of the challenge. We hope that this will do you some good and motivate you to work on your better self. Now you only need one thing: motivation and your Löwenanteil of supplies!

The challenge can be started at any time; therefore the tasks are not tied to a date, but only numbered.

So that you don't forget the daily task and can tick it off after successful completion, it is best to print out the challenge template. You can download this by clicking on the button.

So that you don't forget to drink in the future, we have created a water tracker. On this you can tick off every glass of water you have drunk.
