And the winners of our Sane Fitness contest are....
We asked what your biggest workout hangup is and three lucky entries won a free package of Sane Fitness cards to help ease the process! Find out how these cards help keep us sane here. Check out our winner's deserving responses:
1) Tiffany from Strasburg VA: My biggest hang-up with working out is motivation and time. I am a very busy mom. I work full time as a nurse on a cardiac unit. I maintain my household and try to keep up with my six year old. My husband works a lot and isn't always available to help out when I need him to. I know exercising and maintaining a healhty weight is important and I am currently trying to lose 40 lbs. Diet is just not enough. I want to exercise and sometimes I remember to do it, but almost always I don't. When I do have time, I don't feel like I have enough energy. When my option is sit and rest on the couch or work out, I am sad to say I sit and relax on the couch. I need quick exercises that I can do in between cleaning and preparing meals or getting ready for work. I think this would help me reach my goal of losing 40 lbs.
2) Pauli from New York, NY: Unlike most women, I'm typically able to make myself go to the gym. I love the way I feel when I'm done sweating it out. But once I'm at the gym, ready to get some reps in, I don't even know where to begin! My mind goes completely blank! There are so many exercises I can do, and I see others gracefully doing leg lifts and donkey kicks, tightening and strengthening their already rock solid bodies, but, for fear of looking stupid or doing it wrong, I hold back! Looks like I could use a Sane Fitness pack to not only keep me sane while at the gym, but fit and in the know so I'll look and feel great!
3) Elizabeth from Schenectady, NY: I love your daily emails and today's really made me think that working out isn't all THAT difficult to fit into your day. Like Tali mentioned, a big hang-up I have is the whole getting dressed, getting to the gym, getting back from the gym, showering (AGAIN!) routine..it really is annoying because that adds on more than an hour to my already long/intense workout (when I actually make it to the gym). Like most recent graduates I'm searching for a job and living at home with my parents. I also don't have a car, which means that I have to rely on my mother to bring me to and from work as well as to and from the gym. Not being able to get to the gym when it's not overly crowded (which means that I can't even work out because there aren't any free machines) because I physically can't get there, is definitely my workout hang-up.
