Fitness Contests & Motivation... FUN stuff!
- Contests: Are there wellness competitions or opportunities at your workplace? Are there opportunities you see online that sound FUN? Find challenges that work for YOU and enter them. They add motivation and accountability.
- Does your workplace offer financial incentives for joining a gym? Some do!
- Last summer, Food Network's Hungry Girl offered an opportunity to test a diet for her new book. I applied, was selected, lost 20 lbs and did it all FREE. I was even mentioned in the book!
- I participated in LiveWell Colorado's Get Movin' Challenge last summer... wrote a short testimonial on their FaceBook page and was asked to be an ambassador/blogger this year. I was also asked to shoot the promo commercial with Susie Wargin for this year's challenge. All FREE. I got (cool) free stuff for helping out!
- Jeffco Schools offered a "Freeze the Gain" Challenge through December. The goal was to not gain weight through the holidays. I logged my weight weekly and won a free gift card. I also DID NOT gain weight over the holidays! I did NOT lose any, but I did NOT gain. I was happy!
- I posted a picture of my dad showing up at mile 16 of the Colfax Marathon (from San Fran) unexpectedly...I won a free tank top. This took 2 minutes to do!
- Positive Thoughts: On FaceBook, LIKE Fitness Magazine. They have some of the best daily MORNING MOTIVATIONS that I have found. Starting your day with positivity helps keep you in a joyful place. EXAMPLE: Morning motivation: "You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it."
