COUCH TO TRAIL
It’s hard to start new routines, meet new people, and develop new healthy habits.
2022 is ALL about community, accountability, education and adventures!
6 Week Challenge
Investment - $75.00
Each participant will be entered to win a Fitbit Sense! Drawing is on February 1st.
Valued at: $300.00
The 6 Week Couch To Trail program will be a combination of both virtual learning, and in-person meet-ups. Whether it’s been a little while since you’ve taken a hike, or this is your first time, this 6 week program will provide you with the knowledge to not only keep you safe, but to also make sure that you actually enjoy your next adventure!
Over a six-week period we’ll cover the foundations of:
-Nutrition
-Fitness
-Recovery
-Adventure planning
- Yoga
-
These topics will be covered via Zoom and downloadable .pdf worksheets. Although this is not a “Challenge” you can use it to challenge yourself. Living one’s most adventurous life doesn’t happen in 6 week challenges. However, this is an excellent opportunity to “kick-start” things in the right direction and the right education to make sure that good habits stick.

Q&As
Who is this program for?
Although the 6-week program was designed for the beginner adventurer, even an advanced outdoor enthusiast could benefit from the lessons learned throughout the course. This course is for ALL abilities!
-
Q: I might not be able to make the Zoom calls, will they be recorded?
A: Yes! They'll be located in our Facebook Community
Q:I’ve never done anything fitness related before, are you guys going to kill me?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, we’re going to shift the conversation of how people think about fitness (from punishment to enjoyment). Wait, that sounds dirty... Whatever, we’re going to make sure you’re actually having fun with it.
Q: I want to join with a friend/family member. Can we join as a team for a discount?
A: Accountability is awesome and you’re much more likely to stick with something if you have a friend with you. Also, the value provided in the course is already being offered at a massive discount. The majority of your investment will go to help ACA continue to offer programs like this in the future.

Jenn has been an active Yogi for 20 years and found her passion during a hot yoga class in Boulder, CO while attending CU (Go Buffs!), and has been teaching professionally for 10 years. She received her Yoga Teacher Training certification in 2012, one of the best gifts she ever gave herself.

When Jenn isn’t teaching or practicing yoga, she loves to run with podcasts (Ear Hustle is her fav right now!), paddleboard, read Sci-Fi/Fantasy books, and peruse cookbooks to try new recipes with her family. Jenn lives with her boyfriend, his three kids and two dogs - there is always an adventure to be had! With an open heart, kind words and clear intentions, she looks forward to guiding you on the mat!

LAUREN STROBEL
Couch To Trail Ambassador
When Lauren first moved to Colorado (during the pandemic) she was out hiking 4-5 times a week. She would do short hikes during the week and then explore the mountains on the weekends. This was the reason she moved here. Nothing beats the sound of your feet hitting the dirt trail, the feeling of the sun shining down on you, the smells and sounds of nature. Like with most people, life and responsibilities took over when she became a homeowner again, and unfortunately adventuring fell down on her priority list. Not this year! Lauren has made several commitments to herself this year when it comes to hiking, and she can’t wait to get off the couch and back on the trails with everyone!
