Words to Sweat By – Review & Giveaway

I know many of you {including me} made New Years Resolutions {or rather “goals” – I like that word better!} to get back into better shape!  Whether  it be at a gym, working out at home or with a buddy running or walking outside, these motivational towels by Words to Sweat By are a fun addition to any workout!  Words to Sweat By offers quite a variety in their 100% cotton white workout towels – everything from humorous sayings to motivational mantras to keep up your spirits in the middle of a tough workout! Dana, the designer of these motivational towels, had this to say about her product: “I created the towels for people who want a little motivation and humor in their workouts but don’t want to shout it from the rooftops with a t-shirt, bag, or hat.”

Here are just a few of the phrases you can buy on these workout towels:

• “C” is for crunches, not cookies
• Whatever you do, don’t hold your breath
• Carpe Dumbells
• “Squat” is a 4 letter word
• Healthy. Strong. Happy
• No excuses

I had the opportunity to try out these towels as I was sent 2 motivational towels & given the opportunity to keep one for myself &  give one to a friend.  I picked these 2 phrases: “10 more reps & the cupcake is history” {I love sweets – so this is a good one for me! } as well as “Exert.Hydrate.Repeat” {gotta remember that water!}.

I think this is a great idea to share with friends because not only can it be a fun idea for you – but  what a unique gift for a friend, especially for someone who may be struggling with the motivation to keep up with those workouts!  All they need to do is take a look at one of the towels & it will either give them the laugh they need in the middle of their workout or inspire them to keep going.  The towels come with unique packaging as well – wrapped in cute, little organza bags  - all for just $8! Now that’s a fun & frugal gift idea! So, head on over to Words to Sweat By & check it out for yourself!
