Greetings and Welcome to the May Just Vlog It theme announcement! As the Spring is well and truly here (it is May after all even if the temp keeps going up and down) and Summer, in fact, is just around the corner. We’re all getting out and about more and enjoying the warmth which means that many of us are dusting off our trainers and thinking about getting back into “fighting shape”. We’ve got to keep up with the kids, run the house, enjoy our lives and feel good about ourselves as well as attempt to look decent. So, what I want to challenge you with for the Just Vlog It May theme is- FAMILY FITNESS FUN! What do you do, either on your own or with your family, to stay fit or better yet, get fit? I’m going to give you some prompts to get you thinking…
- Show us how your children keep you running around all day.
- Share your favourite game with your children which is physical and active.
- Give us some tips on eating healthily & incorporating fitness into your routine.
- As a mum, what’s your dream solution for getting fit and staying lean & trim?
- As a dad, do you have dreams of grandeur as a sporting champion? Are you the next Lance Armstrong?
- Make your own comedy fitness video…Mummy or Daddy Fitness in the Real World!
- Make your own commercial for a “new & improved” fitness accessory.
- Go through your old fitness DVDs/VHS’s/Books and share with us a “Blast from the Past”
There, I think I have given you enough inspiration for this month. So, do you want to know who this month’s sponsor is? Well, first, let me tell you that I will be selecting FIVE vlog entries to put up for the public vote AND there will be a prize for the WINNER and RUNNER-UP as well as a new category for BEST NEWCOMER. Best Newcomer will also be a publicly voted category but will only include entrants who have not yet entered a Just Vlog It challenge. Now, a hint about our sponsor…they are synonymous with fitness and have been promoted by me more than a little bit lately…that’s right…it’s…
Reebok Easytone Trainers!!! Wowie Zowie!!! Here’s what the generous people at Reebok are offering our lucky entrants for this month’s Just Vlog It Family Fitness Fun Challenge:
- WINNER: will receive 1 pair of Reebok Easytone Trainers of their choosing (walking, gym or running; mens & womens sizes) + a selection of Reebok Easytone gear including a jacket, top & trousers.
- RUNNER-UP: will receive 1 pair of Reebok Easytone Trainers of their choosing (walking, gym or running; mens & womens sizes)
- BEST NEWCOMER: will receive a Reebok t-shirt & trousers
Pretty great, huh? Thank you to Reebok and Wildfire CompanyPR for sponsoring the Just Vlog It Family Fitness Fun Challenge. And just so you know, the Easytone Gym & Running shoes are not even out in the UK yet…you’ll be in on the ground floor with those if you so choose and you’re a lucky winner or runner-up. So, get your brain in gear and start thinking. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO PRODUCE A STELLAR, OSCAR AWARD WINNING VLOG ENTRY. Sometimes simple is better. Please remember to try to keep your vlog entries to around 4-5 minutes…my laptop crashes and burns if they’re too long. You don’t want to do that to me, do you? Here are the important dates to remember for this month’s Just Vlog It:
- Monday 3 May- theme announcement; commence the planning
- Tuesday 11 May- deadline for all entries- please send to: justvlogit@hotmail.com
- Wednesday 12 May- viewing day for me- please send chocolate or brownies
- Thursday 13 May- public voting commences…and ends at midnight GMT
- Friday 14 May- Winner, Runner-Up and Best Newcomer announcement
- Monday 17 May- Just Vlog It Family Fitness Fun Carnival
There you have it Vloggers! A fun and entertaining challenge (Family Fitness Fun) which should bring out the vlogger in even the most reluctant of you and a BRILLIANT sponsor with Reebok Easytone Trainers to bring out the rest of you! Have fun, good luck and Happy Vlogging! Please leave any questions you may have in the comment box below…

BTW-had mentioned to Heather last month that I thought that you guys should maybe give 2 weeks from announcement to deadline. Vlogs sometimes take time-inspiration, then videoing and then editing. Time consuming.
Thanks Susie…I appreciate the suggestion. Will see how this one goes. I thought a week with a weekend in between would be enough but will ask others. Sometimes having too much time means less participation because people just put it on the back burner. I don’t want people to forget about it. Plus I’ve given some prompts in the post and will tweet throughout the week for reminders & inspiration. Thanks for your suggestion though. I appreciate input.
Genius!!!!!! I already know what I am doing as I had been thinking about doing something this week about fitness! oh and I take it the usual order of brownies and chocolate bars should be given to the masked man at the usual address in a brown paper bag?
Shhhhhhhhhhhh, no one’s supposed to know about our “arrangement”! Looking forward to your entry!
‘Wowie Zowie’ – made me giggle! Thinking cap is on, and hopefully we’ll have time to defend our title this week x
I saw them in a shop for the first time yesterday – even though I’ve got a pair I still got all excited!
I may get my bikini on and start bouncing on the trampoline – that’s gotta get the male vote, right?
I’ve got so many ideas, how can I choose just one?
Woohoo, getting my thinking cap on:) Jen.
Great Jen…can’t wait to see what you and your King come up with!
Ooh, yay Melaina! Have a think for a bit and try out some different ones in your mind. You’ve got a week now…let me know how you’re getting on!
You go girl! Looking forward to that vlog! I’m sure you and Yuri can come up with something fab!
I hope you can find the time this week…I’m seeing something with the Twins & running mummy ragged!
Wow – great prizes! I never did receive a gift voucher in my pack – nor any shoes! Good luck with the vlogs this month!
You didn’t get your shoes??? You should have love! Email them! Or better yet, enter this month’s Just Vlog It!
Sounds fantastic. I’m not a fitness lover but I do spend a lot of time running about after Amy!! Will have a think and get something sorted. Thank you for your hard work.
