Getting stuff just for working out!

After I got my FitBit in February, I found a couple of places to earn free stuff just for exercising.  Since I was planning to continue exercising, it made sense to sign up.  (Worst case, I get nothing....Best case, I get something free!)

I signed up for Earndit.  Most of the rewards are for a certain dollar amount off a larger purchase. (example $35 off of a $70 purchase).  It's a great deal if it's somewhere you'd shop anyway (or you are looking for somewhere new to shop.)  I signed up for a NatureBox special, but because I was already signed up, I was not able to use it. (But customer service gave me a better deal!)

Another free one I signed up for was EveryMove.  EveryMove offers a few rewards.  Many, like Earndit, are discounts on a product or service. But since the beginning of March, I've won 1 (and halfway to another) $5 Amazon code, and I've donated $5 to Make a Wish Foundation.  All for doing what I was going to do anyway.  And since I linked it to MyFitnessPal and FitBit, I don't have to re-enter anything!


Yesterday, I was notified by EveryMove that I won a drawing!  What did I win?  I'm glad you asked!  I won a one-night stay at Hotel Monaco in Seattle; a pair of Saucony running shoes; a BodyMedia FIT armband; and an EveryMove t-shirt and water bottle.  I don't expect to be in Seattle any time soon, so I hope I can transfer the hotel stay to someone else.


There are a couple of other things I've found that require you to "put your money where your mouth is".  DietBet encourages you to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks.  Everybody puts up the same amount of money (from $10 to $500). And everyone who wins (meets the goal) gets a share of the pot. I won a $25 bet (I won $44.06).  And I am currently in a $10 one. I have another one that starts on Saturday. You can join here. 



The jury is still out on Gympact.  The idea is you commit (pact) to workout a certain number of times per week. And you agree to have your credit card charged (from $5 to $50) for every time you don't workout. If you honor your pact, you get paid (basically from the people who didn't workout.)  I
haven't earned anything yet, so I don't know if it will be good or not.



Where to find me in the heath and fitness world:

By the way, all of these have iPhone apps. I'm not sure about Android apps.
