The New Year is here! Have you decided on a resolution for 2013? If saving money and getting in better shape or losing weight is your goal here’s a little extra incentive! There’s a growing diet trend that could help you succeed with both of your goals. You can actually make money for working out or going to the gym. Here are a few options to check out:
- Pick your challenge
- Bet $100 and lose 10-percent of your body weight to pocket $200
- Bet $300 and get your BMI under 25 in a year for a chance to win $1,000
- Compete as a team or individual
- Head to Head competition
- Sign up or start your own game
- The more people who join, the more money at stake
- Person who drops the most in 28 days takes home the pot
- Download the App
- Put your money on the line and set a number of days to hit the gym
- If you miss your goal you pay
- If you reach your goal you earn
Keep in mind these programs aren’t for everyone. You do have to put up your own cash to enroll and you only have a certain amount of time to reach your goal. Some of these programs get money from advertisers. But they’re betting that you’ll fail. Don’t sign up unless you’re motivated. As a precaution, check with a doctor before you start any exercise program.
