In the app (Fitmanager) that they give you you’ll be able to join the XS Challenge. it’s totally free!

    – 2nd check between 11/1 and 11/8.

    It will go off of the points in the XS challenge (Skeletal Muscle Mass) in the app they will give you. Email [email protected] if you have any questions.
