Win a FitBit Charge from @Telus #EveryStepCounts #Giveaway (Canada Only)

The truth is I struggle to get enough exercise in my daily life. And I’ve GOT to get better… I MUST get more steps in each day.

Recently I was invited to join the @Telus #EveryStepCounts fitness challenge…

I started with great intentions… but I did NOT do well. It was an extra bad couple of weeks for me with deadlines, a cold leading to a migraine and sinus infection. Yes, I had more excuses than steps.

A few days I actually met my daily 10,000 step goal… sometimes by walking around my house trying to get in enough steps before midnight.

But the good news is that wearing this FitBit Charge is a constant reminder of how sedentary my work-at-home life really is.

There are so many different styles of FitBit, if you’re Canadian, check out the Telus website to see which is your favorite.

Watching so many women in the challenge get 20,000+ steps in a day does motivate me to try to step up my game. So while the 2 week challenge is over, I’m going to try to at least hit a 10,000 step goal daily.

  1. I would love to win a fitbit. I hear so much good things about them. My favorite exercise is walking and short jogging. I use my cell GPS but it uses too much battery.

    Thanks so much for the opportunity!

  3. Before I tried a Fitbit out, I had no idea that I walked a mile while shopping. I can stop in one grocery, pick up the sale items there and then stop at a competing grocery to pick up loss leaders there and I almost double my walking mileage while saving money.

  12. I’m trying to loose the pesky baby weight that’s seeming to linger and have stared working out 3 days a week. My Sister In-Law was getting rid of a stepped awhile back so I scooped it up. I just on it with the tunes playing and get to work! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  13. My favorite exercise is one where I don’t actually think I’m exercising. Usually this is biking, sometimes it’s just walking.

  17. I love walking. Preferably with my family (which includes my dogs). It doesn’t even seem like exercise at all.

  19. Aerofit! I do it once a week and it’s honestly the most fun I have! I’m a WAHM and my need to get out of the house is often vital LOL
    My BFF sometimes comes along and while we have a great laugh, we burn up to almost 1,000 calories! Woot Woot!

  27. Although I love the treadmill, what I love more is exercise that is fun and goes by quickly without realizing that you are doing a lot of ‘work’.

    Recently I have been loving bouldering and snowboarding!

  62. I walk with my kids as much as possible! I love that this thing tracks your steps, I’m so curious as to how many steps I take,

  94. Right now I only walk, and mostly it’s walking the dog. I really enjoy riding the bike and swimming but do not often get to do those because of having 3 young children.
