How Has Fitness Changed Your Life?

by Sue on July 27, 2008

It’s been one year since I’ve started Workin’ On My Fitness and it has been quite a journey since I actively started working out and deciding on living a healthy lifestyle.  I didn’t realize how much of a difference I felt physically every time I finish a workout.  Training for, then running a 5k , and finishing it made me realize that I am capable of challenging myself physically after not working out regularly.  As this site grew, I have learned a lot in one year, and I want to continue learning and living a healthy life.

12 Million Lives 12 Million Lives is a campaign that 24 Hour Fitness started with the idea of how fitness can change your life.  On their site, 12MillionLives.com , you can read the many stories of how people have come to put fitness into their lives, and how it changed for the better.  After reading some of those stories, I was totally inspired.  Every time I read inspiring stories about getting fit and living healthy, it always makes me want to do even better for myself.

24 Hour Fitness was kind enough to give me a complimentary 90 day fitness pass to 24 Hour Fitness, and I want to pass it along to one of my readers.  There isn’t a 24 Hour Fitness nearby enough to where I live unfortunately, which is fine because my intention was to give it to someone anyway.  So, if you want to enter to win this 90-day fitness pass (valued at $99, no strings attached, limited membership and good to use at one 24 Hour Fitness club only ), comment on this post, and let me know.  Pass this post along to your friends who you may think can change their life just by including fitness in their everyday life.  I really want quality answers.  From those answers, I’ll pick the best response from the lucky winner and send out the pass.   If you don’t win, you can still get a free 7 day pass from 24 Hour Fitness from their site.  Find the nearest 24 Hour Fitness near you!

All you need to do is provide me the following to be eligible:
Subscribe to my blog via RSS or Email (if you haven’t already done so!)
Name:
Email: (just so I can personally contact you)
Answer this question:  How has fitness changed your life for the better, and what have you done to achieve it?

I extended the giveaway, giving more time for a chance.  The contest will close on Saturday, August 9 at 3PM EST, and I’ll draw the winner and announce it on Sunday, August 10th, so enter as soon as you can, and good luck! :)

Congrats on running he 5k. I’m inspired by your persistence. I like your basic approach. Fitness means so many different things to different people.
My fitness goals are drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, and moving enough to sweat each day. When it gets more complicated than that, I’m a mess. I’m kind of a pessimist about all this before and after stuff. Not room here to flesh out why, but if you are interested:

Again, congrats on running the 5K. I’ve been running for a while myself. My girlfriend is a member at 24 hour fitness as well but this is the first I’ve heard about the 12 million campaign.

It was so nice to pop in here and see the “It’s been one year since….”. As someone just at the beginning of my “one year” I am encouraged to read about your very active workouts and know I can get there to if I persist!

Great reads on your blog! Thanks.
Many Blessings,
Shelley

I went through the site 12MillionLives.com and now I’m also motivated to keep myself fit and healthy.
