500 Reasons to Join the New YOU Bootcamp Today

By , SparkPeople Blogger
If you're resolving to tone up in '09, then I have some news for you. It's going to take hard work, will power, dedication, and some sweat (but not necessarily blood or tears). But you can make it easier—even fun—by joining SparkPeople's New YOU Bootcamp, a challenge that includes a workout plan, built-in support, and motivating prizes!

We created the New YOU Bootcamp Challenge and Contest to motivate and inspire you to reach your fitness goals in 2009. We call it “Bootcamp” not because it’s highly intense, but because it involves daily exercise and commitment so you can get real results.

That may sound daunting, but each workout can be tailored to your own fitness level, and you also get to pick activities that you enjoy! Following our 4-week fitness program will help you look good and feel great in a matter of weeks—and also help you build momentum to make fitness a priority all year!

Here are 5 reasons to join today—and tell your friends!

  1. It's simple. I designed the New YOU Bootcamp workouts to take the guesswork out of working out. You'll follow one of my online 10-minute workout videos each day, and do your favorite cardio activity 5 times per week. Because there are seven different Bootcamp videos and you get to pick your cardio, working out will never be boring! All you need is a stability ball, a set of dumbbells, and a computer to follow along with the free workout videos.

  2. It's free. You'll save money because you won't need a gym membership or any fancy equipment to get in shape. Like all SparkPeople resources, joining Bootcamp is completely free!

  3. It's motivating. Every day, I will post your daily workout and a challenge that will help you reach your goals. I'll also send weekly SparkMails to participants! Other Bootcamp members will root you on, answer questions, and offer support when you need it, too.

  4. It's fun! By taking part in the challenge, you're doing something new every day. Plus, we're giving away weekly prizes to participants and 10 iPod shuffles!

  5. You could win $500 cash! One lucky—and newly fit—participant will win the grand prize: $500 to use towards new clothes, a gym membership, or whatever you want! All you have to do is join the challenge and log your workouts on SparkPeople.com to be eligible for the $500 grand prize!
