Get Fit, Get Paid.


It’s time to get off the couch and burn some calories. Using your FitBit or Jawbone UP, you can challenge your friends for cash.

Benefits:

  1. Get Paid, a winner take all challenge. “Money won is twice as sweet as money earned” — Paul Newman. Victory comes with bragging rights
  2. Reunite — haven’t seen your pals for awhile, nothing promotes bonding more than adding a little bit of competition and working out together, whether it’s virtually. You’ll be able to track your progress with friends no matter what fitness tracker they are using.
  3. Get Fit, couple quick no sh1t health benefits you already know:

a. being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol and decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls

b. activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem

c. activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy to go about your daily

d. activity can leave you feeling energized and looking better, which may have a positive effect on your sex life. But there’s more to it than that. Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction

Need some ideas? Here, steal mine:

  1. take the stairs — can’t set aside time, small tweaks to your daily habits will boost your calories burned
  2. take a class — can’t push yourself, take a class to whip you into shape, personally, I like CrossFit & Yoga. Not hot yoga, I fainted once *_*
  3. take a dump — you’ll loose some weight, trust me.
  4. eat less — the equation is simple: weight = intake minus calories burned

Not ready to put money on the line? Try a free game, challenge your friend but don’t take their money. You’ll still get bragging rights when you win.

Yours,

P.S. For a limited time only, host a challenge today and receive 5% of the pot amount. Mathematically speaking, if you hosted a challenge that had 5 people with a $100 stake, a $500 pot, you’ll receive $25 or $500 if you win!
