It’s fall and such a perfect time to be outdoors!
So put on your hiking boots, grab a girlfriend or the kids and go explore the area parks for a few hours. If running is more your style, early morning runs when the sun has just kissed the sky and the air smells of dew are my favorites!
Over the past few weeks many of you have told me how much you love my Fitness Friday workouts but need a little extra motivation.
How does a chance to win a $400 Gift card work for extra motivation?
Thanks to the folks at United Healthcare I’m happy to offer you that extra incentive. AND if that’s not enough, one lucky Scrumptious Moms will also win a special BONUS gift of a $100 Footlocker Gift Card.

To your health!
You get paid to exercise? That may be the motivation I need! Thanks for sharing the opportunity to wi.
Haha I know what a crazy idea right! You are most welcome Crystal 🙂
Now THAT is the kind of motivation that I like.
Woohoo Digna! You can enter once a day so get moving and log, log, log 🙂
That’s some great motivation!
So glad you like it Robyn and I hope you’ll take advantage of that offer… I think a little pampering would be a great reward what about you?
I need to get more active. Probably not going to happen though with winter on its way.
Don’t let winter stop you Nolie! Exercise is a fabulous way to beat winter blues.. Just bring your workout indoors… Invite a couple of girlfriends for a Zumba party… have fun with it 🙂
Money is a HUGE motivator for me, but so is walking (talking) with a great friend. If she asks me to go, my answer is always yes because I enjoy the company!
I love that Sara! Blending quality time with friends and staying fit is such a fabulous thing to do and so rewarding! I love that your answer is always “yes” 🙂
Well, money is a great motivator, but I plan on beating my newly diagnosed diabetes- and exercise is key! Winning some moolah would be extra!
I love your mindset Wendy! Beating that diabetes would be the best of rewards and I wish you all the best in achieving that. The $$ would be a nice bonus for any of us right, but feeling our best — well there really is no substitute for that.
I just started a boxing class!
That sounds amazing Lisa! Great workout and talk about stress relief! You must feels so jazzed when you walk out of class!!!
They’re onto me. They knew this will finally get me to do more when it comes to exercise. *sigh* that $400 is tempting though.
Haha I love Kira and I do hope this gets you going 🙂
thats an amazing prize. thanks for sharing
You are most welcome Melinda!
I need to get back into an exercise routine, even if it is inside my house. I love this little app you have and a chance to win $400 is awesome. Good luck.
Being able to work out at home makes it a lot easier to fit a daily exercise plan into a busy schedule, simply by eliminating your drive time to the gym. Look through our “Fitness Friday” workouts for lots of inspiration and good luck!
A great incentive to get active. I have been trying to hit the gym more often.
Way to go Melissa! One day at a time, build on the previous day every day and you’ll be feeling awesome!
Talk about a bit of motivation! I might be able to get into this 😉
Woohoo I hope you do Jenn! the more you commit and log your activities, the better your chances 😉
I’m just trying to get up and get things done more. Sitting on my duff does nothing cleaning and such is both useful & burns calories.
You make a great point Robin that our daily chores, especially the more physical one,when executed with energy, contribute to our physical activity. It’s not enough but it certainly is a start 🙂
Wonderful incentive to get up and moving. I love my endorphins from working out. Make me a much happier person.
That is such a good point Chelle, that release of endorphins is a powerful mood enhancer!
I need to get up and get moving more.
Alright, let’s do it Stephanie! I hope this giveaway gives you a little extra boost but ultimately the best incentive is how great you feel when you make that commitment to yourself. Good luck!
Today was my short workout/sprint day. I love how good it feels to sweat!
Woohoo! Nothing like a good sweat indeed Emily. Way to go!
I love being outside in the cool fall air!
Me too Julie! It’s so invigorating! Enjoy!
Lately, I’ve been active by hitting the trails, but I need to get into cardio a little more.
Hitting the trails sounds fabulous Lesha, especially this time of year!
I really need to make more of an effort to be active every day.
Just take it one day at a time Angela. Start by looking at your schedule and blocking out a time, even if it’s just 20 minutes a day. Then pick your favorite activity and grab a friend to help you stay on track.
This is such a great incentive to get moving. I walk every morning after I bring my girls to school. Depending on how warm or cold it is, I take longer walks or shorter walks. But I feel so good the days I do it and if I want till later in the day, I won’t go.
I love getting my workout in in the morning Karen! It’s such a great way to “turn on” your day! Having that routine is fabulous!
