I’ve made excuses.
I have too much work to do.
I don’t have time to get to the gym.
It’s boring to walk around the neighborhood.
I’ll workout tomorrow.
And with colder weather finally coming to NC, it’s easy to think oooh, it’s sweater weather: BULKY sweater weather where I can hide those extra pounds… so maybe I’ll just wait until Springtime to start working out again.
But the truth is, as much as I’ll whine and moan a little when I’m first getting back into a fitness routine, I really do feel better about myself when I’m working out regularly. It’s not just the weight or inches lost, it’s having more energy and feeling stronger.
Which I will repeat over and over to myself as motivation to get my butt back to the gym. Or at least on my bike for a ride around the neighborhood. Or both. At least 3 times a week. *GULP, I can do this, right?*
If I’m not joining in a group class like Zumba, then I definitely need music while I work out.
Which means I need headphones, since apparently not everyone in the gym or my neighborhood wants to hear my music. They should since country music is awesome(especially some “old school” Dixie Chicks, my choice of kick-butt, get my butt moving music), but I guess it’s not good manners to share music like that. Which I may or may not have found out when I first got my iPhone and didn’t have my earphones plugged all the way in.
I was sent a pair of yurbuds Inspire for Women Sport Earphones to review. They are developed for women with FlexSoft™ and TwistLock™ technologies for comfort and to guarantee that they will never fall out!
I followed the directions to insert them into my ears and was pleasantly surprised to find that they really did fit comfortably and securely in my ears.
Though I discovered that to use them with the Lifeproof case on my iPhone, I did need to use the adapter that came with the Lifeproof case(as is the case with another set of earphones I had tried, but just to make you aware in the event you have a Lifeproof case on your phone- try the adapter!).
Now, to make good use of these at the gym!
Yurbuds Giveaway
Yurbuds Inspire for Women Sport Earphones can be found exclusively at Target for $29.99. One winner will sent pink yurbuds. US 18+ only, please.
I was sent a pair of yurbuds for review. No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.
I can’t manage to get to a regular gym where people are staring at me either, but a few months ago Teach and I joined Curves. She has lost 27 pounds! I’ve lost a whole size and developed a lot more muscle and six definite pounds. I’ve never been big into earbuds but those look like nice ones.

Madonna has the BEST workout music!

I think I would have to work out in order to have a favorite work out song.
Clearly I need to do SOMEthing to mix up my daily routine and get me exercising.

I would love these. I have small ears so if is really hard to find ones that stay in place.
I listen to house music when running.

Perfect timing! I need a new pair of ear buds and these look great. Plus, a new Target just opened by my house (and I’d hate to leave there empty-handed

I like to listen to Lose Yourself by Emineim when I work out.
I listen to all that cheesy stuff that I would NEVER admit to even owning.
Ricky Martin? Okay. Guilty.

I haven’t really listened to music while I run, yet. The weather has driven me inside adn I love to dance for my exercise indoors. Next summer I will be running again and these would make the morning run that much better.
VandyJ recently posted..So Frustrated
I was just at the gym this morning complaining about my headphones falling out of my ears! If Yurbuds stay in my ears I definitely need a pair!
nonsequiturchica recently posted..Update
Listen to old school rap while I work out/clean
Favourite? Not sure – I know I just need something upbeat. I usually use Pandora.

These earbuds look amazing! They might actually stay in! We are going to have to buy some of these!!
-The Six Sisters
I have to tell you how much I love your site! So many times when I’ve pinned a recipe- it’s from y’all!
I don’t have a “favorite” but Black Eyed Peas always make me happy. And Justin Timerlake. Perhaps not in that order

Once upon a time I thought my ears were normal….but then I discovered they are weird. (or one is, specifically my right ear). I have never found an ear bud that would stay put there!! (although I’m a cheapo and have never tried really good ones)
I would LOVE to find some…and maybe this is just my chance!!! I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed!! Ear buds that also come in adorable colors could be the ones!!!
I’ve got to listen to music as I work out. Lately I’ve been listening to dubstep…the beat is just right for my elliptical stride and it gets me going! –Lisa

I like listening to the Eagles and Bruce Springsteen.
Thanks so much.
I usually listen to Blake Shelton, Trick Poney, Garth Brooks, or something like those.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hadn’t heard of these. I need to find something that works because we’ve tried a lot of different brands and they either fall out or have a short life. I say this with angst as my son just informed me another pair of ear-buds has bit the dust.

I listen to a lot of rap/hip hop. . .
But my guilty pleasure is “Call Me Maybe”.
Heh.

Zumba is fun, but I too, talk myself out of going and find a million other things to do.

I usually listen to the Deadmau5 Pandora channel when I run. It’s super upbeat music that keeps me in a good rhythm.

I like to mix it up – a little bit of everything. From current country to classic eighties. I always have one earbud that falls out when I run. So annoying!
I like to listen to audioslave.
I work out to anything by Florida Georgia Line.
They’re my obsession right now
Echo Reed recently posted..The Saturday Six
I love hearing “Straight on for You” by Heart when I am working out.
My favorite workout song is Jump by Van Halen.
Train and owl city.
Thanks for the chance.

I dont work out lol but it would probably system of a down and korn, which always pump me up.
I listen to the 90s station on Pandora
While I love country music- I usually listen to more rock/ ska style music while working out or running- gets me pumped up more

Pink would match my new Nikes! I joined the Y last week as it has gotten waaay to cold to walk outside here in Idaho.

I really like a lot of techno/beat or Britney Spears type stuff when I workout but my favorites are songs by Deadmau5, does something to me to make it easier!

I like listening to Dragonette while I work out. They’re like… a canadian dance, alternative pop band. It’s hard to describe! I hate genres!

Gotta love some Aerosmith, Guns and Roses
I listen to def leppard when working out
I like to listen to Pink.
Work out to Michael Jackson’s old ones
I’ve been listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons recently!
I like classic Abba =)
I like to work out to Pink.
I love working out to Pink and I also love Hair Metal from the 90′s to work out to.
I’ve downloaded a few of the biggest loser speed walking mixes which I love. It actually makes me look forward to working out in the morning!
I love Pitbull, especially I Know you Want Me
I like working out to old Def Leppard tunes
One of my favorite songs to work out to on my Ipod is Bob Dylan’s Hurricane.
I love the black eyed peas.
I listen to a station on Pandora that I made from P!nk. I love that woman, and Pandora gives me a lot of high energy music to encourage me to keep going.

I love to listen to podcasts when I run! Weird, huh? But it’s the only time I get to listen to them since I don’t have a work commute anymore.
I’m forever trying to find some earbuds that just stay and don’t pop out during my workouts! My go-to song lately when I’m in the zone is “Harder Faster Stronger” by Daft Punk!
I don’t have a favorite I just listen to something upbeat and fast
I like to listen to music with a fast paced beat, I would probably listen to jay-z.
I like to listen to Be Your Own Pet
I like born to be alive, really old song. But it keeps me peppy
Micheal jackson
I love listening to Flo Rida and Lady Gaga when I’m working out! Thanks!
