Win a #getafterit T-Shirt from Reebok!

by Anne Mauney, MPH, RD

Hello friends! Remember the fun Reebok shirt I debuted on the blog last week?

IMG_0487

Well, now is your chance to enjoy one of the shirts, too! It’s giveaway time. 🙂

I love these shirts – not only are they really soft and comfortable, but I think it’s impossible to have #getafterit on your back and not give your workout your all. I remember first seeing the shirts at the Healthy Living Summit when all the Reebok Crossfit coaches were rocking them. So awesome!

IMG_0172

I’m a big fan of motivational fitness mantras and “Get After It” is one of my new favorites. Another favorite? “You never regret a workout… unless you skip it.” I also love this one. 🙂

Reebok sent me 5 of the women’s #getafterit shirts to give away to you guys. They run true to size (and are women’s fit so they are more snug than a normal t-shirt) and I have 2 Larges and 3 Mediums to give away. On the front of the shirt is @Reebok.

Want to win one? Simply comment on this post with your favorite motivational fitness mantra. What gets you through those hard workouts? Please be sure to include what size shirt you want if you win, too!

You can earn an additional entry by tweeting this: “ I want to win a #getafterit shirt from @fANNEtasticfood and @Reebok ! http://bit.ly/XCjtVl ” Be sure to come back and add an additional comment letting me know you tweeted.

U.S. residents only, please. I’ll select the 5 winners on Monday night!

Good luck! I can’t wait to read some of your favorite mantras – I’ll run through them in my head tomorrow morning during the Army Ten Miler!

    My favorite workout mantra is "you don't have to workout...you get to workout." It reminds me how fortunate I am to be able to move freely and to take nothing for granted.

    This quote is from a book about motivation in general, but I ask myself this when I want to stop running/biking/swimming: "Were you better today than you were yesterday?". It forces me to think about whether I am growing in all three of those workouts everyday as opposed to where I am currently.

    They all get me motivated to start moving but especially "there will come a day when you can't do this anymore. Today is not that day." Medium or large but I guess if it is a little snug large would be better.

    There are a lot of great motivational mantras. I especially like: "There will come a day when you can’t do this anymore. Today is not that day.” Unfortunately I can never remember any of them come mile 9 or 10 of my long runs. It's mostly internal swearing and thinking about being the eff done. :) (medium)

    I just try to remind myself that even if I only have a LITTLE bit of time, any exercise is better than no exercise - some days that means an hour workout, other days it means 10 minutes of quick stretches (think yoga, down dog especially) as flexibility is extremely important in preventing injury!

    Reebok might not like it, but I think "just do it" is a great way to get myself going (it's sort of like a command). But I also really like, "if you're tired of starting over, don't quit." I'd like a medium :)

    What I tell myself is "I CAN DO HARD THINGS!" I find this very empowering if I repeat it to myself I really love the slow quote above because even though I'm not overweight I'm a very slow runner. I still do it, but it's not really my body's natural thing. People much larger than me run much faster than me but I just do what I can! P.S. My hubby and I love your 5-minute oatmeal bars.

    I run in memory of my dad who died from leukemia when he was only 45 years old. Every time I need motivation as I am running/walking and feeling like giving up, I think about my dad and how he got up and went to work sick and tired and struggling to breathe. He did this without complaint. What I do - or attempt to do - by running/walking and training is nothing compared to what he did! I recently lost 132 pounds and completed my first half marathon so I also remind myself that the fact that I am physically able to even contemplate training for races is a victory and I need to run on!!

    My mantra to get me going through my latest TBI and Lyme disease has been , my determination and strenghth of will will carry me just so far, exercise will make me stronger mentally, physically and spiritually. So, I tell myself I can do it even when the pain feels overwhelming and as I walk I notice the beauty around me and the pain becomes a little less and I become a lot more. I loved sharing your wedding weekend with you and your family. You were an exquisite bride. Peter and I feel priveleged to have been part of such a memorable occassion! Give Matt a big hug from me! Many hugs and best wishes always! Ellen (medium) P.S. Good luck tomorrow with your run!

    When I'm in the middle of a tough Crossfit workout or a long run, I often get Kanye's song "Stronger" in my head: "N-n-now that that don't kill me, can only make me stronger, I need you to hurry up now, 'cause I can't wait much longer." That song and the chorus to Jay-Z's "On to the Next One" have gotten me through quite a few reps. :) If I win, I could wear either a med or a large, so I'll take whatever's available!

    Definitely love the mantra that "no matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch." Especially since I'm not the fastest runner.
