I can't count how many times I've said my New Year's resolution was to become more fit or maybe shed a few pounds. This year, it's even more important because I'm going to Hawaii in June for my best friend's destination wedding and I need to start working on my summer body, like now. Even though most days exercise is my least favorite activity, I've found some extra motivation with the help of Ebates. Ebatesis a cash back hack that effortlessly enables you to earn money while shopping online. All you have to do is shop through their online portal using their website or the app, and they automatically apply coupons so you get the best deals. Plus, every few months they send you cash back directly into your PayPal account or by check, whichever you want. It's that simple.

Whenever I need some new workout gear or a calorie tracker to keep me on top of my goals, I make my purchases through Ebates. It kind of feels like I'm getting paid to be fit. So why not stay on top of my New Year's resolution this year? Here are some Ebates partners that have helped me achieve my fitness resolution, while getting paid to shop.

Under Armour

Everyone knows you can't work out in a pair of jeans and high heels, so I bought the best workout gear money can buy from Under Armour--fleece hoodies, sports bras and even workout leggings specifically designed for the cold-- all while using Ebates.

Nike

I've never really been a sneaker person, but I needed a good pair of sneakers for my morning jog. Using Ebates, I bought a pair of Nike running shoes that are so comfortable, I even use them to run errands.

Dick's Sporting Goods

I'd rather design my own workout than run an hour on the treadmill at the gym. I used Ebates to get a pair of boxing gloves and a yoga mat from Dick's Sporting Goods Ebates to add even more excitement and variation to my own workouts.

I've earned some serious cash back and knowing I'm making money while keeping my New Year's fitness goal is all extra motivation I need to stay on track. If you're you're looking to save money while getting fit in 2019, you know what to do.
