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.

of day and when to take them

activity during the 24-Day Challenge™. The
main menu has a variety of exercise types to
choose from, including all DVDs in the CU24™

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

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!
