#WorkOutToWork With Paragon Sports
“Cars are convenient, but sometimes driving all around town or figuring out how to avoid traffic on your way to work makes the drive more of a hassle than a convenience. Not only that, but the extra time spent commuting to and from work be exhausting. When arriving home after a long day, the last thing you want to do is get back outside and squeeze in a workout. “
Have you ever felt like this? I know I have just the thought of being in heavy traffic makes my shoulder knot up in stress. So I so believe that driving can be stressful but sometimes you need to find a way to take a break from the stress. My oldest daughter did just that this the other day and I never have been prouder of her.
Let me set the scene for you.
Maddie, my oldest daughter who is living in her own apartment near her college now, noticed that they were running low on drinks. So instead of hopping in the car and driving the mile and a half to the store to grab the drinks, her and her roommate decided to walk the three-mile round trip. That is something that I don’t think I would be able to do. But I will tell you that was not a leisurely walk, when they arrived at the store they noticed that there were some dark clouds hanging around. By the time they made their purchase, it was pouring down rain. So they made the walk back to their apartment in the pouring rain. Thankfully their carton of soft drinks didn’t break until they walked back in the door.
I don’t know about you folks but I don’t think I would have made that trek in the rain.
So that got me thinking what if you can combine your commute to work or school with a workout? So I started looking online and found that Paragon Sports has a #WORKOUTTOWORK Contest.

My hubby works in Boston, so he takes the train into the city, but then has to walk a mile to his building. He definitely gets a workout in.
Nope. I don’t think I would make the trek in the rain. Not raining, probably. I do have a serious Diet Coke addiction..
I don’t think I could have walked back in the rain. I would have been too upset and annoyed by then.
Great contest! If I lived in the city, I’d walk more… unfortunately being in the suburbs means I have to drive everywhere. But I do get to the gym for my exercise.
I am on a fitness kick and have lost quite a bit of weight. Your ideas can help even the best of stay focused on our fitness goals
Darn, missed the deadline. I don’t have a commute anymore. Such an awesome contest.
Great giveaway to encourage fitness and healthy living!! I applaud your daughter for making that trip!!
Hehehe not going to lie, I probably wouldn’t walk in the rain. My hubby use to walk to work when we lived downtown & I don’t know how he did it some days during the winter!
That’s a fun way to participate. I like using instagram for such things too. One of my favorite forums.
I believe in having someone who motivates you can make you a lot of progress in weight loss. I am so proud of your daughter.
I live in the city, too but I do a lot of walking. This is my exercise and I don’t feel good if I didn’t walk.
Good luck to all those who entered. Can’t wait to see who won!
