Trust me, I completely get it… you’ve had a long day, work was draining, you’re exhausted and the last thing you want to do is work out. Some days it?s nearly impossible to muster up the energy to get yourself moving again after spending your entire day running around and answering to everyone else’s needs?even IF you promised yourself you would get that workout in after the kids went to bed.
Unfortunately, with so much busy-ness in our lives, it?s far too easy to break promises and cancel plans with the most important person in the world: Ourselves.
So how do we remedy this and get ourselves on track? With?drumroll?.an accountabilibuddy! ?A what-a-bili-buddy,? you ask?? You heard me right ? an accountabilibuddy?a fun little term the fitness community has used for years. An accountabilibuddy is a buddy that holds you accountable. It?s as simple as that.
When you have someone else counting on you wake up early to work out and be there to push them, you?re MUCH more likely to get the job done?AND to have fun doing it! Let?s face it ? everything is more fun with a friend.
One of Chris? and my absolute favorite ways to get our exercise in and have fun at the same time is by participating in local weekend events. Competitions, 5Ks, 10Ks, and obstacle course races (with every theme and cause imaginable) are popping up all across the nation, making it so easy to find a fun event to participate in with a friend or group of friends! While we love them all, some of our favorites are the Spartan Races. SUCH a blast! Who doesn?t want to channel their inner-beast by jumping over fire, scaling walls, running through mud, crawling under barbed wire ? all while running uphill in some gnarly?terrain? The adrenaline rush is unreal, and the sense of accomplishment after is even better.
Well, get this. Spartan has just announced their very own Spartan Cruise , featuring a Private Island Race! An opportunity for you and your accountabilibuddy to explore the Caribbean AND get your Spartan on. You can even bring the kiddos along!
Best part is next: Spartan is giving away a trip for TWO (cruise + airfare for you and your accountabilibuddy) on their March 2015 Caribbean cruise. Click here for details on how you can win!
In the meantime – while we wait for the cruise to set sail – I?m giving away one free entrance to a Spartan Race near you! Using the Rafflecopter below, leave a comment telling me why you want to compete in a Spartan Race and a lucky winner will be randomly selected and announced Thursday, August 28th.
Xoxo,
Heidi

I would love to win a spartan race entry! I race for my girls. I want my 3 girls (ages 6, 4 & 2) to be motivated. I want them to see their stay at home mom as fit, healthy and strong. I want them to follow a healthy lifestyle because of the examples set by mommy & daddy 🙂
To run a Spartan is my ultimate goal on my weight loss journey.
Love the Spartan Series. It motivates me to do more upper body workouts, as I am a running addict! Great community and commeradere in this group! Enjoyed doing the VA Super this past weekend, and would love to win this cruise event. I also love watching Extreme Weightloss! Inspires me to continue my studies to become a PFT!
Personnel satisfaction . Im mom of 3 ( 4.5- 3 years and 5 month ) I did the Prison Break Race about 2 weeks ago and it was me first time ever…but not the last one hihihihi
Down 70 lbs and at my goal weight. Now I’ve got my husband and daughter going for it. Looking for new ways to stay motivated and keep it off!
I love Spartan Races! I completed my trifecta this year as a way to stay motivated on my fitness & weight loss journey, now I’m addicted & trying to figure out how to get a double trifecta next year!
I think this would be a great kick start to my weight loss journey. I weigh over 300 lbs and am hoping to get to 150 lbs. so that we can add the baby to our family that we have been trying for for 7 years!
I turned 46 last year and realized I lost myself. I sit and watch the Extreme Weight shows and say, ” I am going to start exercising like they are.” I feel lost and need to change. I have always been active and just today started running again. Ironic hugh. I have come to a chapter where I am ready for the change. I have always dream of running in a big race. The best I have done is a 5k. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be picked for this race. God bless you both Heidi and Chris. Your character and love for each other shows in everything your do and it would be an honor to run the race with you. Sincerely.
I’ve never done a Spartan Race, but I’m addicted to running races! I recently moved to a new city, and I haven’t found any races here yet, but I’d love to start again!
Because I did my first Spartan Race and I am hooked!!! Healthy fit and FUN!!!! Count me in!!
