daily over decades, join me

Summary

the people who win in business don’t out-think anyone. they out-show-up. that’s the entire idea behind the daily over decades challenge for 2025.

it’s three levels, all built around 300 and 200.

1. level one: 300 training sessions in a year (or 200 for the easier version). no makeups, no banking sessions on Sunday for the rest of the week.

2. level two: 300 minutes of training per week (or 200). this one trains weekly consistency, not just daily.

3. level three: 300 calories burned per day (or 200). this is the daily discipline version, the hardest one.

the whole point is removing the option to procrastinate. if you skip a day, the day is gone. you can’t borrow from tomorrow. that’s where the real consistency gets built, and it bleeds into how you run your business.

I’m doing it. tag me if you’re in.

Transcript

introduction to the daily over decades challenge

The most impactful business is the business that genuinely improves another human, a better human business. And to grow a business like this, you have to continually improve yourself. This podcast is a documentation of that thesis, scaling businesses and also personal growth. My goal is for you to shortcut this journey.

So if you’re ready to try hard, subscribe. If you like what you’re hearing, please share and enjoy. All right, better humans, I have a challenge for you to tackle this year. Some of you know about it. Some of you don’t. I’m going to hit it up real quick. It’s called the daily over decades challenge.

I’ll talk about what it is and why you absolutely should tackle this for 2025. This is the better human business podcast. I’m Jerred Moon. And as you know, and I’ve talked about a lot recently, improving yourself is important. It is how you will grow your business. It is how you will scale. It is how you will maintain wealth.

overview of the challenge and its origins

It’s how you will really do everything is taking care of yourself. That includes your fitness. So I want to go over a challenge that we did at garage gym athlete. I believe this was in, I don’t know, 2022, maybe, maybe 2023. I can’t really remember. I think it was 2023. So anyway, and a year long challenge.

We have thousands of people signed up for this, but we were doing a lot of giveaways. So that’s, you know, we are giving away a rower and kettlebell and barbells and all these kinds of things. So a lot of people were very interested in doing the challenge probably for the giveaway, but I’m not doing any of that.

I’m not, I’m not facilitating this challenge in a way that like you can come sign up and I need to motivate you. Like I’m not doing any of that stuff this year. I just want to tell you about the challenge and then maybe you can tackle it on your own. So here’s, here is what it is. It’s the daily over decades challenge.

And there are a couple of versions. I’m going to go over the 300 version. This is the hardest challenge it really is because the level of consistency it takes to achieve this is, is hard, like really hard. And so of those thousands of people who decided they wanted to do this, I, less than 1% ever finished this challenge.

detailed explanation of the challenge levels

And we verified everyone finishing the challenge. If you were to get a reward through your actual biometric data, meaning you had to submit your Garmin data, your whoop data, your Apple watch data, whatever it was, so we could verify that you actually did all of these things. So here it is, the challenge.

The first part of it is you will do 300 training sessions in a year. So that’s level one. This is the daily over decades challenge. And if, if 300 is too crazy, the intermediate or beginner version would be 200 training sessions in a year. So I’m going to be talking about both. I have completed the 300 version at level three.

I did it the year that we did the challenge. So that’s the first thing, 300 training sessions in a year or 200 training sessions in a year. If you want to do intermediate or beginner and it’s not that crazy, right? You, you can, depending on which one you want to do, you got to train five, six days a week for the advanced one and less than that for the 200 version.

the significance of maintaining weekly training minutes

That’s level one. Level two of the challenge is that you will do everything in level one, but you’re also going to train 300 minutes per week. And this is where you go from like, okay, can I hit a certain amount of training sessions in any given month down to, okay, I need to be really consistent every single week.

So it really harps on the consistency and it avoids the throwaway sessions that aren’t really any good, you know? So like, you know what I’m talking about? If you get into this challenge and you got busy and it’s like, well, you got to hit 300 minutes per week. There’s no like, oh, well I did a four minute walk.

Is that count? Like it eliminates all that. If you feel like you’re going to be that type of person, stick with the level one version. Don’t go to level two. It really increases how hard it is. So you need to do 300 or 200 training sessions in a year and then either 300 minutes per week or 200 minutes per week if you’re doing level two.

transitioning from weekly to daily discipline in the challenge

And again, that goes down to, you go from monthly discipline to training sessions down to weekly discipline for training minutes. Now level three is you need to do everything in level one and level two, but you need to burn 300 calories per day or 200 calories per day in the 200 version. So when we first did this the first year, we did 300 calories per session, meaning if you started a training session, you needed to burn 300 calories in that session.

But the feedback we got was that was very hard to do for a lot of people and it depends on like how your Garmin or Whoop or Apple Watch is tracking these things. And again, this is nearly impossible without some sort of smart watch unless you want to sit around and try and calculate these things on your own.

But the feedback we got was that was really hard. And I’m like, yeah, okay, that’s what this challenge is. It’s not supposed to be an easy challenge. But instead of 300 calories or 200 calories per session, we made it per day.

tips for successful completion of the challenge

Okay, so now what you’re able to do, not to necessarily make it easier because it doesn’t necessarily make it easier, but if you wanted to break up sessions, you did a strength training session that burned 200 calories and then you did a run later in the day that night, you know, that was, you know, just a mile run and you burn another 100 calories or whatever, you can hit the total in a day.

However, the training sessions don’t count. You can only count one training session per day. That way there’s no like doing seven training sessions per day towards the end of the month to make up for your lack of consistency. And then you can still get to that 300 calories. So that is the ultimate challenge.

And I’ll kind of talk about some of the caveats that like I just did. But 300 version, 200 version, you got how many the you have the monthly discipline of having to hit a certain amount of training sessions per month, you have the weekly discipline of having to hit a certain amount of training minutes per week.

how the challenge impacts personal and professional life

And then you have the daily discipline, you know, down to the day of having to hit a certain amount of calories burned per day through your physical activity. And it is a very hard challenge because at the 300, that’s 25 training sessions per month, the 200 challenge, that’s 16 to 17 training sessions per month.

And then when you get down to the weekly discipline, the 300 challenge are going to have to do one, five one hour sessions per week or six 50 minute sessions per week to get to the 300 training minutes. Okay, that’s no easy thing to do. And then if you’re doing the 200 challenge, you need to do four 50 minute sessions per week or five 40 minute sessions per week, it gets pretty difficult.

But then, like I said, there is no making up and you can’t compound any of this. And this is the part people hate, but it punishes the procrastinators. Okay, so you cannot, you cannot make up sessions, basically. And that’s how people get tapped out of this or, you know, fall out really fast. And the reason I did this was not just trying to make this the most impossible thing ever, but that skill set does not help you.

my commitment to the 2025 challenge and invitation for listeners to join

Okay, if you’re like, okay, I need to do 25 training sessions this week, you skip the first two weeks, and now you’re doing 10 training sessions per week, or really 12 the last two weeks of the month, you know, to try and make up for it, you’re like doing multiple training sessions per day, all this stuff trying to catch up that doesn’t help you that doesn’t teach you consistency.

And that’s the whole goal of this challenge is consistency. Because I’ve seen things like 75 hard and six week challenge this four week challenge that and I think that those things are cool. They’re fun to do. But in the long run useless. How many people do you know who’ve done 75 hard? And then it’s like, okay, that was fun.

And then they’re off to something else that didn’t change their life. Some people has been life changing this in all honesty, if you can stick to it to the consistency that it requires for a year, it will change your life, you will be a different person in the level of consistency, you’ll be able to maintain after you accomplish something like this will be incredible, you will be a new human being, you’ll be a better father, a better husband, a better wife, a better spouse, a better business owner, you will be better at everything.

closing remarks and ways to connect for the challenge

So if you need some driving factor, hey, I’m going to go do this daily over decades challenge, either the 300 or 200 version, because it’s going to help me make more money this year.
