For me, keeping track of my fitness progress helps keep me motivated and pushes me to improve. Usually I use my phone but I’m always terrified of dropping it, I hate wearing the phone arm bands so it means when I run with the dog, I have both hands full! So I’ve been on the look out for something new.
There are lots of devices out track fitness, but the ultimate in fitness watches is the TomTom Spark Cardio + Music watch. It’s pretty cool! Here’s are it’s features:
- It is a 24/7 activity tracking watch which captures your steps, distance, active minutes and calories burned.
- It has GPS tracking and will give you time, distance, speed, pace as you exercise.
- You can track running, biking, swimming and treadmill workouts too.
- It has a built in heart rate monitor – no waist band required.
- You can store over 500 songs in the watch – no carrying around an ipod or phone anymore (you just need some wireless bluetooth headphones)
- It has a audio performance feedback feature so you know how your workout is going
- It tracks sleep
As you can see, it pretty much does everything!
To celebrate reaching over 10,000 likes on Facebook, and as a Christmas/New Years I’m giving one of these babies away! Competition will be drawn on the 3rd of January 2016.
Just comment below with your favourite way to keep fit or how you stay motivated and follow me on Facebook here
Congratulations to Vanessa 🙂 Message me to arrange delivery of your prize. 
I exercise at home do the 5 tibetan rights lift weights do squats.
Running and swimming at my favourite gym; running outside first thing in the morning with the sun coming up 🙂
I power walk daily and try to beat my personal best each time and go further faster and I lve swimming in summer 🙂 I stay motivated by looking at my family and knowing I want to as fit and healthy as possible for them and be a good role model
eating clean and hitting the gym and now summers here lots of swimming and snorkeling
Would be great to win this for my wife as she is on a diet and is struggling to loose weight and this would be a
way for me to make a little easier for her.
My wifey and I enjoy walking along some of the scenic tracks we have here in the Manawatu.
I am running, yoga, pilates, body weight exercises and swimming to get into shape for my wedding!
My routine consists of running minimum 3 x 5km courses around our neighbour hood including the beach, i keep motivated by mixing up 3 separate courses and having the beach makes for a pleasant scene. I’m not one to carry or attach anything to me for sounds but a TomTom Spark Cardio + Music watch i hadn’t heard of but reading up sound perfect given data and sounds capacity i’d love to own and would use to not only record my data but having music would be a bonus for me and probably help drive me to go further in my fitness program.
eating healthy diet, and moving a lot outdoors especially….
Running and online foreverfit workouts!
I walk 8kms most days.
The morning routine is Iwalking around the suburb hills or swimming in the local pool.
This sounds great! Currently I stuff my ipod in my bra when I run (not ideal!) my exercise is generally powerlifting but over the summer I’ll try and do a bit more walking, running and biking to take advantage of the good weather!
I am very active and work out at least 5 days a week and I love health and fitness
Biking around the Hauraki rail trail. My kid motivates me as I want to be a good role model. . . And keep up 😉
i love swimming and walking after a heartattack this year i need to get fit so i can be around longer for my family
I.like swimming and taking my boys for a walk
Having friends who are just as keen to keep active as you is motivating. But as well as that I like writing out a visual schedule of what exercise I plan to do for the week and stick it on the fridge!
Wow what a great giveaway! I keep fit working with my calves daily as it is a physical job, when I’m not too busy with that I enjoy getting out on my road bike or taking my two pooches running. My upcoming wedding provides a little extra motivation, now that I’ve said yes to the dress!
I love to get up early first thing for a run as well as doing yoga and home strength exercises
I have a couple of fab friends spread around the world, who got me started on my road to a healthy lifestyle and who keep me motivated. I returned home after 14 years abroad and have struggled to find work….and as a result, have really struggled to eat well and to keep a regular routine of appropriate exercise. I am hoping for a renewed focus on a healthy lifestyle in 2016!
Walking on the beach or around the mount. Need to get more active and fit! Tricky with a baby and a preschooler. This would be a lot of fun.
I get up at 5am every morning for a run then have a trainer for weights. Would love to know how much I do as in kms etc as would love to train for half marathon
I love to run at night once all my jobs are done and the kids are in bed asleep… I then have time and space for myself.
My fav way to keep motivated is going to the gym – we moved here six months ago and I didn’t know anyone, didn’t have a job and had my 2 year old daughter in my care. The gym offered free childcare so I saw it as a means to an end. Turns out I love it, have met heaps of awesome people, and get fit as well 🙂 Love it!
eating clean, walking, yoga & weights at home keep me going
Have started a get fit routine with hubby.. The Tom Tom Spark will be just the spurt we need to keep us going and on track. Clean eating , daily active workouts on the treadmill and chasing after the kids keep us motivated and achieving our goals… The trick is to stay focussed!
Wanting to get back into the habit of running first thing in the morning.
Since my back injury/surgery I’ve had to adapt my fitness ways, I now enjoy swimming, walking and Pilates all of which I can manage almost pain free. The motivation part i struggle with from time to time usually due to a pain flare up, but the appreciation of the sunshine, fresh air and the people (& animals) in my life keep me going 🙂
Great giveaway Nic! I love my running…..treadmill running, road running, trail running the lot. And try to fit 2 cross fit sessions per week as well. Would love this gadget!
Would love one of these to get me motivated to walk regularly ????
What a great giveaway! My running has lapsed over the past few months, so this would be so good to help me keep track with starting back up again. I’m going out tonight once the kids are in bed, will be my first run in awhile, so looking forward to it ????
I keep fit by doing Les Mills classes……Body Attack, Grit Strength and Body Pump
What a cool giveaway!!
I like to run, and I was doing boxfit twice a week, but I couldn’t keep up with my endurance run training when I’d done a hard-out boxfit session !! So now that I’ve got a race (goal to keep me motivated) in February 2016, I’m concentrating on the run training.
Also have a powerhoop for daily 10min sessions.
As an older Grandma keeping a mindfulness approach to health and wellbeing.it is all about balancing exercise activities that you really love and eating nutritious meals that you enjoy cooking alongside friends and family that will support and motivate you along your journey
Swimming running and yoga
Running is my favourite fitness thing to do. Nothing as good as throwing on a pair of shoes and just running. You certainly get a different perspective of the world through your running travels.
My kids keep me active, they love to go for walks & easily convince me to go even when I’d rather relax around home
I like variety in keeping fit & that’s what keeps me motivated , I enjoy sea swimming, running, classes at the gym and yoga.
I love these activity trackers and one would be awesome. When your trying hard to change your lifestyle these would be q great reminder to stay on track
Awesome giveaway
These things are awesome for keeping on track as I change my lifestyle to eating healthy I always wonder how many steps I do and how my sleep is. I hope to start running soon as I build my fitness and this would make it fun
I love swimming and walking
Chasing my two small children around and also non stop vacuuming up after them keeps me pretty fit!
Running with mates and classes at my gym
training with like minded friends keeps me motivated
I have over the past few months started running and have suprised myself at how well I am doing. I have always wanted to run and have some goals for 2016 to enter some marathons. Something I never thought I would be able to do but it is amazing when you put your mind to something what you can achieve. I’m a busy full time working mamma to a busy 2 year old cub and have in the past used my busy lifestyle as an excuse to not be able to find the time. Since starting running a few months ago I had never felt better and am in such a stronger mind state. Still a long way to go but I have set some good plans and goals to get me there. Would lobe to win this to help keep me stay on Track and help track my progress. I love following your page ?
This is amazing, will help reinspire & motivate to keep on track. I’ve heard that Tom Tom are a fabulous product! I’d love to have one.
I love tai chi, swimming & aikido
I walk and power walk and after recently loosing weight this would be great love to win
I love running and I’ve been looking for something just like this as well sometimes I crave a car going past with load music so I can get another song in my head
i use my exercycle at home as i dont go out and walk during the day cause i have anxiety and drink lots of water
I’ve found training with a friend to be the best motivation. This holiday season, finding a friend to train with is quite hard with everyone on holidays and celebrating. This would be a great way to push myself
Awesome opportunity thank you
I do Les Mills class 2-3 times a week and try and get out for a walk or a run once a week. Its hard to make the time but I make it a priority, keep going back otherwise if I have a break its hard to get back into it! This Tom Tom looks awesome.
What a great motivation to kick in 2016 !!!!
What a great motivation to kick start 2016
Oh my, that’s an amazing prize! I would love this, it’s exactly what I need to keep my training on track for my first half marathon ???????????? At the moment running is it for fitness, but really enjoying summer swimming as well ????

I have a half marathon coming up and I need all the motivation I can get.
Walking at the moment as I am just starting. This watch would be great.
I manage a work out early morning on the treadmill, then a few squat & kettlebell exercises. My alarm to get up is usually my three year old, 5-5:30am. He enjoys joining in with squats etc.
Walking the dog every day motivates me to get out! I used to be a runner but our dog is a greyhound who ironically doesn’t like running other than flat out short sprints! Planning to get back into running this year – in fact had my first outing this morning!
Running! A little bit of freedom for me from the hectic life with kids and I get to listen to my music full noise!
circuit training, music definitely helps with the motivation! ????
Yes please! Would love this!
I love to run so this would be perfect
To be honest, I find forcing myself to do it is the only way! I try to not even make it an option, just a necessity that’s got to be done, like brushing my teeth or something.
I love running and crossfit as a way to keep fit – and the sunshine is a great motivator! Can be limited in Wellington at times but totally inspiring to get out when we get it!
I stay motivated knowing my mental health is effected through exercise – I have to exercise and keep active otherwise I risk falling back into very low moods.
I find that tracking the time, distance and calories burned by exercise is a great way for me to stay motivated. It allows me to see when I am performing well, but also lets me know when I’m not getting enough exercise and should prioritise my workouts more.
I would LOVE to win a TomTom Spark Cardio + Music Watch! It will help me keep my fitness on track (whilst playing music to keep me motivated). I have had a huge lifestyle change the last few years and it would help me to stay on track and to take my fitness to the next level.
Thank you and Happy (almost) New Year!
I would love to start my New Years fitness regime with this x
I love walking along the beach but I want to get into running. This would be the perfect way to kickstart my healthy lifestyle for 2016
I love walking and running to keep fit. love being ourdoors and soaking in fresh air while working out
My dog Toby keeps me motivated! He’s a border colliewith a lot of energy, so I have to keep active or he’d go crazy!
Going for jogs around my local lake, with my Labrador, ‘Bobby’ Love the giveaway, thanks for the chance!
The best way is to combine getting fit with every day life – mow the lawn yourself instead of getting someone else to do it. Walk or jog down to the shops instead of driving. These are the best ways I find to get fit.
To keep fit for myself I love heading to work on my bike, or going to the beach with a friend and the dog and walking for miles, and boggy boarding is always fun! I love being active outdoors and with other people – something to monitor this would be great 🙂
I meet with a personal trainer once per fortnight. This has really made a positive difference to me sticking with good eating and exercising over the last one year
Keep hydrated by drinking lots of water, always helps to have a fitness buddy to keep us BOTH motivated. Little bit of competition never hurt anyone!
Walking and entering events motivates me. I need to plan ahead and have something to aim for. Completed a couple of events and even did my first ever 10k running (slow but I didn’t stop.). Belonging to an online wellness group helps. Ps made your ?protein bars on the weekend and taking them tramping tomorrow. Really delicious and a fantastic alternative to shop brought.
Swimming and the sauna is motivation to get to the pool
amazing prize
Cool prize….. I’m addicted to Spin classes!
I do a variety of things weights, RPM classes, run and yoga and body balance. As I have got older I have found I need to do a variety of things to keep on top of injury prevention
I work with a Pt to keep me motivated but would love this watch to push me further
Exercycle at home and walking in the morning
I love going out for hill walks with my partner and our pooch 🙂
My motivation is lovely clothes!!!
I walk everyday with baby in pushchair and do Mum’s & Bubzy Fitness classes each week to get back into my old wardrobe
I walk the dog most days, minimum of 45 minutes, and do calorie counting on a website.
I love going to the gym and really love group fitness, it is always better working out with others
I love either taking my little girl out for a walk in her wheelchair, which she also loves, or if I’m lucky enough to find someone to look after her for awhile going for a Bush walk 🙂 this watch sounds amazing!!! Love that you can put music on it as well!
I enter races and go running, I like to keep track of my distance and speed on mobile apps.
I walk to work 3 days a week and try to encourage my kids to get some exercise daily. Also have a puppy so she is my motivation too.
Awesome prize! I love to run… mentally and physically it makes me feel good.
Running round from the kids and making time to exercise. 2016 is a new lease on life for me!
This is a really cool prize! I like to run and go hill walking, but find it hard to keep motivated over the Christmas period. I think this would be the perfect motivation 🙂
Running, it’s the ultimate way for me fit and mentally clear and happy and I love to track my progress.
I love running and boxing my motivation is giving my boy’s a good role model in this world of couches and internet
My family keeps me motivated. I need to look after myself to be able to take care of my families needs better. I love to run after school drop off, I got giving a Fitbit for xmas to replace my broken Fitbit unfortunately our home got burglared a few days ago and they took my new Fitbit. Sad because I find having the Fitbit kept me motivated to do better and aim higher on my fitness goal. Fingers crossed I can replace my Fitbit.
I incorporate exercise in to every day things like picking up one bit of washing to hang or block off the floor at a time and squatting to get it. I box jump up my stairs every time I climb them. I’m active with the kids encouraging them to get out and about and join in their Crazy games. 2016 is my year to get where I need to be!
My fav way to keep fit is running and some form of circuit. The best way I find to keep motivated is to not feel bad if I can only do a small amount of excercise. Anything is better than nothing and to keep it fun and simple as you are more likely to stick to it 🙂
I love to go walking outdoors, it always makes me feel better 🙂 Having someone to walk with keeps me motivated as does setting small mini goals. My well-being plan for 2016 to help motivate me is : W-illingness to try new things
E-at mindfully and move my body
L-ove lots
L-augh out loud
B-reathe deeply
E-njoy the little things
I-nspire my mind
N-ourish my soul
G-ive gratitude
I love to play indoor netball! 🙂
Love this! Especially used with Bluetooth headphones, brilliant!
I keep fit by hitting the gym for some HIIT and playing Roller Derby
My favourite way to keep fit is walking my four dogs out and about. I love power walking too…:) x
I’m love running with a bit of yoga to balance things out:)
I stay motivated by working on my nutrition at home with my husband. It’s so much easier when you’re in it together. Also, after having my third child & turning 40 in 2015 I found new motivation in a Mums n Bubs bootcamp fitness class. It’s so awesome to be around likeminded people in the same boat as I am with fitness goals. I find myself saying things like I can’t do that on Monday because I have bootcamp! This page is also very motivational because it gives me simple, straightforward nutritional advice that I find easy to incorporate into my lifestyle. Thanks 🙂
