BodyRockSport Haul with my FREE giftcard!

I made a blog post a couple months back about earndit.com (click here), the website that offers various giftcards as incentive to be more active. I wasn't sure what I wanted as my first 'prize' but when earndit.com starting offering the BodyRockSport giftcards I was so excited! It was great motivation to push myself a little harder... 5 more minutes of running... Walking just a little farther...

As soon as I had the 1000 points I needed I traded them in for the $100 giftcard. The giftcard was good on an order totalling $150+, so for $50 you get a bonus $100 worth of product, just for being active! They also offer a $50 giftcard and a $25 giftcard which I am aiming for next!

BodyRockSport is a company that sells fashionable workout gear, and boy are there ever some hot pieces! After looking over the site I started with sports bras, mostly because I needed some but also because they were so pretty and there was lots to choose from. I picked out 2; The "Cammi" bra which is a vibrant turpuoise color and the "Jais" bra which is a great hot pink. Then I got two tops, the "Jill" tank in white and the "Morning After Top" in white. I figured they would look great layered over the bras.

My package arrived today, it only took 7 business days to get to me here in Canada, which is awesome in my opinion! Each item was packaged in it's own little dustbag with the BodyRockSport logo on it, which I thought was really cute and a great idea!

Cute right?!


The items were exactly as picture and the material feels lovely against your skin. The colors are very vibrant and everything feels so well made!


Cammi bra and The Morning After Top.

Jais bra and the Jill tank.


Both bras have studded detail around the neckline and ruche in the back. They also have a little pocket for your mp3 player, a key or money.

The Morning After Top is a slouchy, over-sized top that has studding around the ends of the sleeves. It looks really cute layered over one of the bras and off the shoulder.

The Jill tank has a shelf bra with removable pads. I loved the zipper detailing on the front. The shirt is nice and soft, has a Y strap back, and is moisture wicking material.

Fitness: Need Motivation? How about Gift cards for working out?

One of my New Years resolutions was to exercise regularly. For motivation and to keep track of my steps/miles/fitness levels my boyfriend bought me a FitBit, which I plan to review at a later time, but through my FitBit I found a site called Earndit.

Earndit keeps track of your fitness levels and activities and gives you points based on how active you are. For example, for FitBit I get .75 point for a "very active minute" and .10 for a "fairly active minute".

There are 7 different ways that you can earn points; NikePlus, RunKeeper App, FourSquare App, EveryTrail App, BodyMedia, GarminConnect, and FitBit.

As for the giftcards, most of them are spend x amount of money and get x amount free. For example, right now I can redeem a 15$ gift card to Skin Care for Athletes on an order totaling more then 30$. Or I can get 15$ towards an order totaling more then 49$ from VitaCost, which offers free shipping on top of that.

While the rewards aren't completely free, they are a pretty nice incentive for working out. I've only been a member for about 4 days and I already have enough points to get something.

On top of the rewards offered for points you accumulate, companies are regularly offering "Challenges" for members to participate in. 'RailRiders' is holding a challenge right now, everyone who accumulates 360 points by the end of the challenge is entered into a draw for a $100 gift card and everyone who gets 100+ points will be entered into a draw for $50 gift card.
