Staying Motivated

You know sometimes you just don't feel like going through all the trouble to workout. You know...getting dressed and ready to go to the gym, carrying all you gear (clothes, id, keys, towel, sanitizers, water bottle, etc.), driving to the gym, having to wait for equipment, cleaning it after you finally get access to it, having all the perfect bodies look at you like "what are YOU doing here".....you know the routine, right?

There is another way to get fit and stay motivated to continue with your health and fitness plan........

With approximately 1,553,386 active members to it's credit Team Beachbody has a very large virtual gym where you can workout with hundreds at one time. You can workout with specific members, members who are working out to the same program you are, members in your local area, or with no one in particular but don't want to work out alone. At this very moment the virtual gym, WOWY (Work Out With You) SuperGym as it's called, has 105 people working out. A total of 982 workouts performed today aready with the peak having 202 working out at the same time.

If you need to get motivated to work out on any certain day you can log into WOWY and see all the stats for the day. You see the number of workout that have been done and that are being done as you watch. THEN you say to yourself "if they can do it so can I". You log in your work out, I've got mine prescheduled until I finish my P90X program in May, and get to it. When you've completed your workout you feel like you have just added another week onto your life expectancy and are so glad you didn't blow today off. You can even chat in the Cool Down Chatroom when you are done. The conversations are all about fitness, workouts, diets, getting and giving advice. You can learn a lot and meet a lot of great people that you might want to workout with on another day.

Another wonderful thing about logging your workouts in the WOWY SuperGym is that you can actually win money and prizes for working out that day. Team Beachbody has a random drawing once a day for members who have logged their workout the previous day. Once you have logged your workout and completed it you are eligible for the drawing the next day. The cash isn't just a few dollars either. It's $300 most days and then on a random day during the week they draw for $1,000. Usually once a week they draw for an iPod Touch, camcorder and I think once they drew for a laptop. So not only can working out be beneficial to your body but it can possibly be profitable too. You can also enter the Million Dollar Body Game!

As one who used to couldn't even say the "E" word (you know....exercise), I find Team Beachbody and the WOWY SuperGym highly motivational. You can see the success photos and read their stories (yes, they are real and not air brushed). I personally know one of the success stories and she won $50,000 in a Grand Prize Giveaway.

So get motivated and let's workout.
