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!

Giveaway – 2 winners will win 2 workout towels – 1 for yourself & 1 to give to a friend

Now, on to the giveaway….Words to Sweat By has offered to give 2 readers the chance to check out these motivational towels – not only for yourself, but also giving you an extra towel to give to a friend to hopefully inspire a friend who’s trying to get healthy!  That means that 2 readers will win 2 towels of your choice!!

This giveaway will end on Thursday, February 25th at 9pm pst! The two winners will be drawn using Random.org.  The winners will have 48 hours to contact me; otherwise a new winner(s) will need to be drawn.

How to Enter:

1st Entry (required entry)- Head on over to Words to Sweat By & share your favorite workout  towel phrase!
