We know it can be ultra challenging to fit in any type of workout when you’re a parent. And by workout I mean actually doing “exercises” as opposed to chasing kids up and down the stairs and lifting babies in and out of the crib. But when you’re sleep deprived and feeling like your clothes just don’t look right, being active can be a major problem solver.
So, we’re teaming up with Ryka, a by women-for women athletic gear and shoe company to hear your fit (or not-so-fit) stories.
Is it the hot dude at the gym that motivates you? Or do you walk just to get away from the screaming kids? Tell us your fitness successes or your workout gripes!
1) Write a post on your blog about How you FIT it in (or how you’d like to). Anything from tips, strategies, silly gym stories, to falling off your stationary bike.
2) Make sure to link www.ryka.com/goodforyoursole and blog.parentbloggers.com somewhere in your post.
3) Send us the link to your post (parentbloggers@gmail.com) by Midnight PST.
We’ll round up all the posts here and we’ll pick FIVE winners at random:
One grand prize winner gets a complete outfit and shoes courtesy of Ryka. And four runners up get their pick of sneakers (check out the ryka link to see the three types of shoes you’ll get to pick from).
Free shoes, ladies!
If you’re not convinced, check out the Parent Bloggers reviews of these shoes! They might just be the motivation you need to take your couch sitting to a walk, or your walk to a run.
And meet some new bloggers today and hear their fitness or soon to be fit stories by checking out these posts. Many of them were brave enough to share really awesome pictures of before, after, and much more. (Let us add your post to our list!):
