How Has Fitness Changed Your Life?

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 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!

Skinny Songs – Not Your Average Workout Music

Music is really important to me, and because of that, it’s important to have music with me when I workout. I’ll admit that I’m pretty dependent on it, but it helps to keep me motivated, so whatever works! I came across Skinny Songs, from a reader and got my hands on a copy. The music is upbeat and most of the songs are about losing weight and keeping in shape. The music is a mix of upbeat Pop, Rock and Country and the lyrics are ALL about losing weight, body image, and getting motivated to make a change.

SkinnySongs is not about any particular size or shape — it is all about setting your own personal goals and taking charge of your life to achieve them.

Although the title is a little misleading, at least they clarify! I think fit is in, not skinny. Skinny Songs has been featured on The Martha Stewart Show, US Today, The Early Show and Oprah and Friends Radio. I think it’s definitely different than your average workout music. Hear some sample tracks of the songs and lyrics at Skinny Songs.

I’ve also decided to give away my copy of Skinny Songs to one lucky reader! All you need to do is subscribe to my RSS feed and leave a comment with – 1) Your Location 2) Your favorite genre of music to listen to while working out. I’ll announce the winner on Monday, March 17. Good luck!
