Yes, I want to get information about the Activate You Program 2022:
Do you still have questions?
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Just send us an E-Mail or fill out our contact form:
What does the 12-week program include?
Our program includes the online activity calendar which will give you daily tasks, advice and learning points. It also includes a journal for you to record your progress and access to 261 Fearless online community events and activities as well as a closed Facebook group where you can communicate with others on the program.
I didn’t receive the link to the online activity calendar. What should I do?
Check your registration confirmation email; this contains your personal link to the calendar. We’ll be sending you an email every couple of days to help you keep active and these emails will contain your link too.
Where do I find the journal?
You will find the link to the journal in your registration confirmation email. If you are unable to find it, please email us at service@261fearless.org
How do I fill in the journal? Do I have to print it out?
The journal can be edited and saved on your computer or you can print it out and fill it in by hand.
What kind of exercises are in the program?
A selection of exercises are included in Activate You. There are guided walk/run sessions, strength exercises with our 261 Master Coaches and later in the program you will have mini workouts to do yourself at home. But, all movement counts and we want you to find what you enjoy and incorporate it into your week.
What should I do if I miss opening a day on the calendar?
Don’t worry. Our Activate You program is set up this way that you can still open any doors you have missed. We do advise trying to open one every day though if you can.
Do I need to have basic knowledge about exercise and physical activity?
No, don’t worry. This program is suitable for you even if you have no knowledge at all. We will be explaining things and giving you lots of tips and advice as we go.
Are the exercises easy, moderate or difficult?
The difficulty of the exercises increases as you work through the program. Don’t worry, to start with, things are easy and you can always work at your own pace. There is no set distance or speed that you have to go at. Every step forward counts.
How many repetitions do I need to do per exercise?
Our Master Coaches will guide you. They will show you an exercise and give you advice about how many repetitions to do. If you feel good, you can always add a few more but we always advise building up gradually.
How fit do I need to be, to participate in the 12-week program?
You will be able to take part in Activate You if you can walk for five minutes. You will be building your fitness gradually as the program progresses.
Am I going to need equipment to do the exercises or workouts?
No, there is no need for any equipment for our guided exercises.
What should I wear when I do the exercises?
Just wear comfortable clothes that you can move freely in. There is no need for Lycra if you don’t want to wear it. A sports bra is a good idea if you have one. Otherwise just wear the most supportive bra you have. We will give you more advice about sports bras during the program. Your comfiest pumps will be fine but as you get fitter and do more, a pair of trainers will be a good investment.
What should I do if I get injured?
Our program is carefully designed to increase your activity gradually to avoid injury. Always work at your own pace, warm up well and take care. If you get injured, please seek advice from a medical professional.
Are there any tips on diet during the program?
Yes, although this program is about physical activity, we know that a good diet is crucial for keeping us healthy. We have specialist dietitians who will be offering some tips and advice during the program.
What should I do, if I have technical problems with accessing my online activity calendar?
Please contact our service team at service@261fearless.org
Can I do a trial training and what can I do if I don’t like the activation calendar?
You can use the first 7 days as a trial period. During that time, you are free to cancel if you wish. On day 8 after your registration, you will be charged the full program fee. To cancel your Activate You program, please log into your PayPal account, click on Settings, then Payments. You can cancel your subscription here under Manage Automatic Payments.
What technical device do I need to participate in the 12-week online program?
You need a device with an internet connection (computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone). Through your device you can log into the online Activity Calendar through a protected link, and you can open a door every day. Behind the door, you will find your daily content. When following the instructions for your walking or running workout, we recommend using your smartphone and a headset.
