It can be hard to splurge on health items. (Although now, with chronic pain I wish I had) Discount websites, particularly Groupon, can be really great for helping you buy healthy products or do healthy activities without the big price tag. So far, I’ve gotten a colon hydrotherapy session, although not that great of an experience, it was a great price. I’ve also recently purchased a memory foam mattress pad around 70% off. They also have tons of yoga classes discounted and spa deals. I highly recommend a little planning with your friends, so you can share in healthy activities together … on the cheap : ) Living Social is similar to Groupon, if you want to explore more deals. While Gilt Group is known for fashion, their site has a nice kitchen and dining section. For me, more time in kitchen means healthier meals with less chemicals and higher quality ingredients.
For all of the fitness lovers out there check the Reebok Spartan Races. These races involve obstacles that will test your strength, speed, and agility. I personally love the idea of getting outside, getting dirty, and most importantly, participating in an activity that will support your healthy lifestyle with other like-minded individuals.
“Spartan Race and NBC Sports Network are collaborating on a television special which will feature the World Championship and focus on the sport of obstacle racing. This event, the culmination of the 2013 Reebok Spartan Race Series, will take place on September 21-22, 2013, in scenic central Vermont, near Spartan Race HQ in Pittsfield.
Tens of thousands of obstacle racing competitors and enthusiasts from around the world will converge on New England, where $250,000 in cash and prizes will be on the line. At the World Championship, top-ranked Reebok Spartan Race athletes, Olympians, and amateur athletes alike will compete side-by-side, assuming they have the brawn, guts and intestinal fortitude.
Spartan Race has partnered with NBC Sports Group to chronicle the amazing people and stories behind the race series and the World Championship, culminating in a 90-minute TV special that will air on the NBC Sports Network on October 19, 2013.” – From their website.
I personally love learning about fitness and health from real stories. For me, these stories give me inspiration for my own health journey. Plus, they tend to stay in my long-term memory better than a book full of facts. Not that I don’t love those too. In fact, I am currently reading The Hormone Diet and Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox and I just downloaded an audio book on Vitamin D3 so I should have some awesome posts soon.

Disclaimer: They are not paying me to advertise these events. This is me wanting to share another alternative to the gym.
This video is just what I’ve been looking for to get fresh clean air in my apartment. I hope you are all as excited about this information as I am. Plus, a plant is way prettier and hopefully less expensive than an air filtration unit.
