What is it?:
The Lifestyle Modification Challenge (Life Mod Challenge) is a 90-day commitment from yourself FOR yourself.
Modify your lifestyle.
Get in the best state of your life.
You must be a current Adherent to The Arena Disciplina to take one of the Life Mod Challenges. Join Here
Accountability Cornerstones:
Each Lifestyle Modification tier has a certain amount of Accountability Cornerstones (ACs).
Rookie has 5, JV has 6, Varsity has 8 and Elite has 11. I recommend you work your way up to Elite.
The ACs range from making your bed, allocating time for exercise, allocating time for reading, implementing different nutritional standards, journaling and more.
Join a Life Mod today. Right now. Invite a friend. Do it by yourself. It’s time for a little Lifestyle Modification.

HOW IT WORKS:
- Choose between 1 of 4 Lifestyle Modifications: Rookie, JV, Varsity or Elite.
- Each Lifestyle Modification tier lasts 90 days (3 months) from the start date. Start when you’re ready.
- A minimum of 5* accountability cornerstones need to be met each day for 9 weeks (63 days) over the course of 90 days. (*Rookie level)
- 63 days need to be Disciplined Days and 27 days will be "Treat Days." Treat Days are NOT cheat days. Cheat days are considered sabotage days. You do not have to take a treat day, but don't take more treat days than the allotted 27.
- A Disciplined Day is all or nothing. Each accountability cornerstone in each tier must be fulfilled on all 63 Disciplined Days.
NOTES AND REQUIREMENTS:
Carbs to avoid on your Disciplined Days: beer, rice, pasta, grain, bread, oatmeal, any form of potatoes, chips, tortillas, etc
Sugars to avoid on your Disciplined Days: sweet cocktails, candy, pastries, donuts, pancakes, muffins, etc
Changing tiers: If you’re in the middle of a Life Mod, you can go down a tier without losing your progress but not up a tier.
Starting over: To start over you’ll have to cancel your current Life Mod and simply restart another one initiating a different start date.
All or nothing: A Disciplined Day means all accountability cornerstones were met. Even if one accountability cornerstone wasn’t met, a Treat Day should be indicated.
What is it?:
The 45-Day Custom Challenge is a 45-day commitment from yourself FOR yourself.
Same idea as the Lifestyle Modification, half the length, and nobody hands you the rules — you write them.
Shorter does not mean easier. You get 9 Treat Days instead of 27, so there is less room to coast.

Accountability Cornerstones:
There are no tiers here. You write 5 Accountability Cornerstones (ACs) of your own.
Borrow them from the four Lifestyle Modification tiers — making your bed, time for exercise, time for reading, nutritional standards, journaling — or write ones that fit the life you actually live.
Make each one specific enough that at the end of the day you know for certain whether you did it. "Exercise more" is not a cornerstone. "Exercise at least 20 minutes" is.
Pick them like you mean it: once you start, all 5 are locked for the full 45 days.
HOW IT WORKS:
- There are no tiers. You write your own 5 accountability cornerstones.
- The Challenge lasts 45 days from the start date. Start when you’re ready.
- All 5 of your accountability cornerstones need to be met each day for 36 of the 45 days.
- 36 days need to be Disciplined Days and 9 days will be "Treat Days." Treat Days are NOT cheat days. Cheat days are considered sabotage days. You do not have to take a treat day, but don't take more treat days than the allotted 9.
- A Disciplined Day is all or nothing. All 5 of your cornerstones must be fulfilled on all 36 Disciplined Days.
NOTES AND REQUIREMENTS:
Carbs to avoid on your Disciplined Days: beer, rice, pasta, grain, bread, oatmeal, any form of potatoes, chips, tortillas, etc
Sugars to avoid on your Disciplined Days: sweet cocktails, candy, pastries, donuts, pancakes, muffins, etc
Changing your cornerstones: You can't. All 5 are locked the moment you start — that is the commitment. Write them carefully.
Starting over: To start over you’ll have to cancel your current Challenge and simply restart another one initiating a different start date. You can write different cornerstones then.
One at a time: A 45-Day Custom Challenge or a 90-Day Lifestyle Modification — not both at once.
All or nothing: A Disciplined Day means all 5 of your accountability cornerstones were met. Even if one wasn’t met, a Treat Day should be indicated.
