Getting Started

Once the app is installed, you are ready to start your AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge™ journey. Next is a screen-by-screen guide to assist you. This is the main screen you will see when opening the app for the first time, prompting you for a username and password. If you have already gone through the registration process before, simply login and continue logging your 24-Day Challenge™ information. For those opening the application for the first time, select the ‘Create Account’ option. Creating an Account

Creating a new account is simple. Once you have selected the ‘Create Account’ option, you will be asked to enter some basic account and detailed measurement information. This process can take some time, so we suggest having a tape measure and a buddy close by to help you through the process.


Once you have entered your account information and selected a picture for your profile, you will be prompted to agree to the Terms and Conditions. This is the legal information associated with downloading and using the app. After agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, choose your starting place in the 24-Day Challenge™. For first timers, you will most likely begin with the full 24-Day Challenge™, including the 10-Day Cleanse. If you have recently completed the 10-Day Cleanse, you have the option of starting with the Max Phase. The following page will describe the core products used during the selected phase and a description of each product.

Now we need to establish when you will begin. The next page will be a basic calendar to input the first full day of your Challenge. It is very important to enter the correct start date here as you are not able to skip ahead or go back if the wrong date is entered. Click on the date and continue.


The Initial Assessment

Once all of your basic account information is entered, the next step is to enter your initial measurements. While this may not be everyone’s favorite part, it is essential to show the progress you have made when your Challenge is over. For this step, we recommend having a buddy nearby as some of the measurements are not easy to do by yourself. Each measurement is detailed on this screen with a visual of where the measurement should be taken.

You are also asked to answer a few basic but important questions about yourself on a rating scale of 1-5. At the completion of your 24-Day Challenge™ you will enter your Final Assessments and compare your before and after results.

After entering your Assessment, you will see the final screen of the registration process explaining some of the features within this app. We will explain this information in more detail for each of these features later in this guide.


The Home Screen

Now that your account is setup and your measurements are entered, you are ready to use the app. Your home screen will detail:

• What products you are taking for the selected time of day and when to take them

• A log of food you have consumed and the option to add food you have consumed including snacks

• The option to add your workouts and what type of workout you completed

• A count of cups of water consumed for this day

• Notifications of any community activity

• The option to share your daily activity by email or with friends/coaches in your community

• A link to the options menu

• The Challenge day you are on and the actual date

Most selections on this screen will have a sub-menu with other options and input needed. We will go through each of these individually.


The Products and Food Log

Simply press the box next to the product you consumed to mark it off the list.

For the specified meal, press on the ‘Log’ button to enter more specific information about what has been consumed. The list is detailed and sorted by food type. Select any of the categories to see a listing of foods to log.

If there is something not in the list, you can enter a custom food. This list will also include other AdvoCare products such as bars and shakes that you may consume with your meal or as snacks.


Logging your Exercise

Logging your exercise is a quick and simple way to document and share your physical activity during the 24-Day Challenge™. The main menu has a variety of exercise types to choose from, including all DVDs in the CU24™ workout series.

Select the type of exercise, then enter a description and duration of this exercise. When you manually enter your workout, the description will be saved to select from on future days. This information can also be shared by email or within your community of friends/coaches. If you ever miss logging information for the day, simply hit the back arrow at the top of the screen to scroll back to the previous day.


Side Menu

To access the side menu, simply click the three-block lines in the upper left corner of any page. This will give you access to go back to the home page, and other helpful pages.


SIDE MENU DETAIL

Getting Started This page is a reference back to a page from the registration process to give you a basic description of the products needed and what they are for.

Products A list of products used in the 24-Day Challenge™. Each one links to a description of that product.

Logout Allows you to log out of the app. This will need to be done if multiple users are using the same phone to access this app.


Community

The Community section of this app gives you a variety of ways to share your progress with other users and the option of adding a coach.

• Post/view messages from/to your friends and groups

• Create/join groups

• Find friends and coaches

• Invite people to your group

Below are sample screen shots of what you will see when navigating these various options within the Community section.

Feed This screen will show you any friend or coach requests, group invitations, friend or coach requests accepted, updates made by you and your friends as well as messages posted in various groups you belong to. You can also post messages by using the post button in the top right corner of the page.


Groups The groups page allows you to search for groups or click on groups you are already a member of/owner of. Once you select a group you can join it and you can invite people to join. This screen also allows you to post messages to your groups.

To edit a group, click the pencil in the top right corner to change the group image, group title, group description and group type. There are two types of groups, public and private. Public groups can be found when searching for a group; however, private groups cannot. Anyone can join a public group, but you have to be invited to join a private group (you will see group invitations on the Community Feed screen).


Friends This portion of the community section will allow you to find friends as well as show you a list of current friends/coaches. Once you find someone, you have the option of making them your friend or coach.

What is the difference between a friend and a coach?

• View your Posts, Daily Logs and

Assessment Data (default)

When you make someone a coach he/she will be able to view your posts, daily logs and assessment data. This is an excellent feature for added accountability for you and the person who introduced you to the 24-Day Challenge™.

• View your Posts and Daily Logs (default) • View your Posts only (optional) • View your Posts, Daily Logs and

Assessment Data (optional) A friend, by default, will be able to see just your Posts and Daily Logs. This setting can be changed in the Settings menu to limit them to seeing only your Posts or including them in seeing your Posts, Daily Logs and Assessment Data.

A COACH CAN: A FRIEND CAN:


The Final Assessment

Congratulations on completing the AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge™! Once you have completed your 24-Day Challenge, you will be prompted on day 25 or day 15 to enter your final assessment. Below are the steps you will follow to enter this information.

Entering your final assessment is as easy as the initial assessment. Simply follow the prompts and have a buddy help with your measurements. You will also enter ratings of your energy levels, sleep times and overall wellness.


The Results

Now is the time you have been waiting for, the results! This screen will compare your initial assessment with your final assessment and show your final results. You will also have the option to post your results in weight and inches to your community groups, friends and coaches. If you prefer not to share this information, simply select skip. Note: This will be your last opportunity to share your results. By selecting the skip button, you will be taken out of your current 24-Day Challenge. You may want to take a screenshot of the results for your records to share later on.

Once you have completed the 24-Day Challenge, you can continue on with the Max phase. Once you post your results or skip past that screen, you will immediately be prompted on what you are going to do next. The same two Challenge options you had in the beginning will appear, but this time select the Max Phase to continue with your AdvoCare product regimen. Once you select your option, you will select a new start date and away you go! Good luck!
