Several months ago I added a motivational gym towel to my treadmill.  It was a experiment in "beating the dreadmill".  When I run on the treadmill, I tend to stare at those little red digits that seem to tick away so slowly.  I once read a tip online that suggested drapping your sweat towel over top the treadmill dash to remove the temptation of constantly staring at the dash.  "Really? It's only been a 1/2 mile?" 

The trick worked for me.  I was able to concentrate on my run and fall into a groove. Plus this cool gym towel from Inperspire had a motivational message staring at me... hardcore Jillian style.  And when the sweat began to drip, I had a nice clean towel to wipe my face.

These 16x25" white cotton fitness towels from Inperspire come in 21 different colorful slogan and designs.  They are much larger than your average gym towel... and SOFTER on the face! That's a huge bonus in Spinning class when I seem to whip my forehead raw.  Plus all the ladies thought I was pretty cool with my "Sweat is Sexy" towel hanging on my Spin bike.

Since I started bringing my own sweat towel to the gym, the thought of using the gym-supplied ones kinda creep me out now.  Sure they get washed, but it's like wearing someone else's underwear.  Eww, right?! The other day I saw a guy blow his nose into his towel before dropping it into the bin at the gym.  Yeah, I'm glad I won't be wiping my face with that tomorrow.

So get ACTIVE today and report back for your chance to try out one of Inperspire's great motivational fitness towels.  Even if you don't win, Inperspire is offering my readers a great discount to shop on your own...
