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

So this is something my husband and I would love to do as couple… Why I believe we should win this is because Janury 17th 2013 my husband was hit by a car while standing on a sidewalk waiting to cross the street! He almost died, shattered his right femour and traumatic brain injury which has now lead to sever PTSD.. Through all this he ended up living and becoming addicted to crossfit and had made a great recovery! They said he may never be able to run again and or do his job as a fire fighter! But he can do it all and the is would be such a great thing for him and “us” to conquer after everything we have been through over this past year and a half!! We also LOVE you guys and you are very inspirational to us both! Thank you
My fiance and I would love this opportunity to start to get fit we are getting married in October of next year and we have been talking about doing a Spartan Race and I think this would bring us closer together as well as get fit for the future.
I love the show and love what Heidi and Chris do for others. They truly save people from the brink of death, transform them into healthy and happy people, that they deserve to be. I wpuld just love the oppurtunity to have that chance for them to work with me and my wife. Teach us the healthy habits to keep us fit and around for our kids for a very long time. I’d love to do the Spartan Race and prove to myself, after plenty of training, that I can do it. Prove to my kids that I did use to be athletic…lol. Plus the cruise would be a bonus for the wife and I to finally go on a honeymoon! Regardless the outcome thatnk you for the oppurtunity to be chosen!! And thank you for the inspiration you give my family and millions around the world!! God bless.
Hey guys. First off I would like to say that I love your show and that it truley inspires me to get my ass moving everyday. Chris and Heidi are awesome people. As for the giveaway, wow that would be an amazing expirence. over the last two years I lost 100lbs the old fashion way. Last Sept I ran in the Spartan Beast Championship in Killington, VT at around 40 lbs heavier then I am today. my Time was 9 hours! I would love to challenge myself once again to see the changes Ive made in absoulte full force. As for the the cruise. Well, after working so dang hard for the last two years that would be a nice treat. Thanks guys !
After losing 70 pounds, and participating in a few 5k’s with my husband, he and I are ready for a run with more of a challenge. Neither one of us really like running, however it is one thing we want to become stronger at together. I have been in “maintenance mode” for weight loss for a year now, however I know that I must keep moving and eating real food to keep the pounds from coming back on.
Thank you for this opportunity to win. Race admission prices are not always in the budget!
I would love the opportunity to complete this race with my husband. I think it would help us make gains physically and even better grow our relationship.
OMG Spartan race has always been my dream ! Being from Canada Heidi Chris and the Powell pack has been my inspiration ! I’m a full time teacher mother of four and I’ve lost 95 pounds I could be a milestone for me !!! I hope I win!!!
It would be so awesome to win a Spatan race for me and my husband! We just passed our 1 year anniversary Crossfitting. It has been great getting stronger together and being able to encourage and push each other. We have wanted to do a Spartan race together! I think it would be a fun challenge 🙂
I completed my first Spartan Sprint earlier this year and I am looking to take it up a notch and could really use the entry to go the distance.

I would love to participate in a Spartan race. I am striving to show my 8 month old daughter that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
