Taking Fitness to the Next level

This is a Spon­sored post writ­ten by me on behalf of Spar­tan Race for SocialSpark. All opin­ions are 100% mine.

We are well into 2012 and I am still firmly com­mit­ted to my goal of improv­ing my fit­ness and get­ting back into shape. I have been look­ing for a 5K race to par­tic­i­pate in this sum­mer as a way to chal­lenge myself.  I found this great event I have to share with you. It looks really tough but I think it might just be the incen­tive I need to push myself to the next level.

Spar­tan Race is like noth­ing I have ever seen before. It is not just a race.  Built into it is an insane obsta­cle course to really test endurance.  Usu­ally I give up on my fit­ness goals because of the monot­ony of the same thing over and over.  This event looks different.

Spar­tan Race is designed to push your bound­aries and get you out of your com­fort zone.  It chal­lenges you to get on the trail, jump in the mud and have the endurance of a Spar­tan Warrior.

The event is ideal for every­one in the fam­ily.  There are hard­core obsta­cle courses for the ath­lete as well as events for the begin­ner, kids and even Spar­tan Chicked for the moms.

With events hap­pen­ing all over the United States, you can find a race near you.  All Spar­tan Races will cul­mi­nate in a cham­pi­onship race at the end of this year.

Most impor­tant for me is every par­tic­i­pant receives the sup­port of the Spar­tan Race.  99.9% of par­tic­i­pants will fin­ish this event.

Spar­tan Race also pro­vides its par­tic­i­pants with a daily work­out, a weekly newslet­ter, and inspir­ing blogs that will help them get from the couch to the fin­ish line within 45 days. It really is as sim­ple as sign­ing up, show­ing up, and never ever giv­ing up.

It’s easy to give up and hang out on the couch eat­ing bon-bons.  This year I am going to take it to the next level.  I think I have found just the chal­lenge I have been look­ing for.  Whose with me?  Find a Spar­tan Race near you and join me for this ulti­mate chal­lenge.
