iBodyFit.com Membership Giveaway

If you follow me on my Facebook page you may have seen that I would be posting a giveaway today.

Well……today turned into tonight. My bad.

Since running my marathon I haven’t been going to my gym. My membership ended a few days after the race and I knew I would be taking a week off so I didn’t renew. I’m a little over a week away from my big trip to Italy, so I’ve been focusing on home workouts to avoid spending the money on a gym membership that won’t get used half of this month.

I was given a premium membership to iBodyFit a couple weeks ago.

iBodyFit offers free online workouts, exercise videos, yoga, pilates, fitness trackers and more.
iBodyFit founder and ACE personal trainer, Franklin Antoian, created iBodyFit so everyone could have access to fun, effective, professional fitness advice, workouts and guidance.

I now have access to online workouts, exercises, eBooks, fitness calculators, a personal diet, personal trainer emails and more. (Valued at $69).  Since I’m gym-less for the time being, I’m excited to have access to another great online workout resource. Unlike some online workout video sites, with iBody I have access to a trainer who can answer questions I may have.

I spent some time going around the site and trying out some of the workouts. Last night I did one of the full body workouts with 10 lb weights, and today I feel like an 80 year old woman. But that’s a good thing. I don’t typically feel that way after doing an online workout.

Fellow FitFluential Ambassador Franklin who is a trainer on iBodyFit has agreed to give one lucky reader his or her own premium account. Details on how to enter are below. Giveaway will end on 5/13 and winner will be announced on 5/15.

Nothing Is Impossible

I have always been an Audrey Hepburn fan, but even more so after I read the following quote from her.

Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I'm possible.

Something about it really struck a cord within me. It's simple, yet powerful, and holds true to so many things.

Nothing is impossible.

I said that running a marathon would be impossible. But it wasn't. I did it. I did it because I'm possible. I set my mind to a goal and I went after it. I hated it at times. I wished that I hadn't committed to it, but in the end I completed it and it was one of the most powerful moments of my life.

There are often times that I have friends come to me and ask me for advice on running or working out in general. I by no means consider myself a pro when it comes to these types of these but I try to give my best advice. I tell hem how I started running and how I get myself out there each and every day to train.

You HAVE to WANT it. You just have to. If you don't, then you'll continue to slip through the cracks that so desperately want you to.

I want to help people accomplish their goals. I want them to fall in love with running like I have, or know what it feels like to kick a workout in the ass and WANT to come back tomorrow for another round. I want people to know that they can be an athlete, because there's nothing that says they can't be.

These wants fit into everything that is Under Armour's What's Beautiful campaign. I'm excited to be a part of this campaign through FitFluential. It is a project that redefines the female athlete and eliminates the boundaries and stereotypes that we see so often in the fitness world.

I believe in this campaign. I've seen the power of communities and what they can do for you and your fitness goals. The motivation, the support, the challenges and friendly competition are often what push you to do your best and try even harder than you ever would have before.

So here's my challenge to you.

I want you to challenge yourself to doing something that you didn't think you were capable of. This could be anything. Whether it's running a mile or running a marathon, choose something and join the What's Beautiful campaign. Don't be afraid to grab your moms, friends, and sisters and have them join in. Community and teamwork are often the keys to your success!

What to join the thousands of women redefining what's beautiful? Head HERE.

Monday Means Music!

It’s Monday Monday and that means music! It’s been a while since I’ve done a music Monday, mostly because I haven’t updated my playlist in a while since I haven’t really been running or working out for that matter. More on that later this week.

Hopefully you all had a great weekend. After getting some nice weather earlier last week, we had snow on Friday and Saturday. Yes, you read that right. It was nothing significant but the fact that it’s May and that there was freezing liquid falling from the sky made me very unhappy.

What does make me happy is new music, so without further delay, here’s what’s new on my playlist this week! Sorry no links to YouTube this week. For some reason my MacBook didn't like an ad on the site and kept freezing! Bummer!

“Taboo” – Dom Omar

“I Need Your love” – Calvin Harris Ft. Ellie Goulding

“Young And Beautiful” – Lana Del Ray

“The Mighty Fall” – Fall Out Boy

“Up In The Air” – 30 Seconds To Mars

“Wonderland” – Natalia Kills

“Lazarus, Ze Gitan” – Gym Class Heros

“Cruise(Remix)” – Florida Georgia Line, Nelly

“Nobody’s Perfect” – Jessie J

“Mr Right Now” – Pitbull, Akon, DJ Frank E
