Sweaty Selfie Contests

MapMyFitness Wants You to Prove You Can Sweat by Posting a Workout Selfie

— March 23, 2014 — Lifestyle
Selfies have taken social media by storm -- now, workout selfies are taking over the gyms. MapMyFitness wants you to snap a selfie during your next workout for its #MapMySelfie photo contest.

The health and fitness technology company runs the Internet's largest network for active lifestyle enthusiasts. Its website and mobile application use built-in GPS to map, record and share running routes and workouts. This contest is an effort to map where North Americans favorite workout spots are.

Though, taking a selfie after your 10 mile run may seem unappealing and a selfie of yourself with a weight in one hand and phone in the other may be a strenuous task, it will be worth it when you win the grand prize. Two Pebble Smartwatches are up for grabs. All you have to do is upload your workout selfie to Facebook with the hash-tag "#MapMySelfie."
