The onset of summer means greater time outdoors enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. It’s a time when my family is busy and on-the-go, but it hasn’t meant giving up my health and fitness goals. However, it’s always nice to be rewarded for hard work, so I was thrilled to learn that Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. partnered with Walgreens Balance® Rewards , the first retail rewards program that not only rewards you for your purchases, but also for the healthy choices you make every day.
Making Time to Workout- It can be a struggle to prevent time and energy constraints from impacting my goals. However, Walgreens and Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. are helping to raise awareness around their shared belief that health and well-being of families is important to making easy, healthy choices. With the Johnson & Johnson Official 7 Minute Workout® app it’s easy to fit a workout in between swim lessons and museum visits. No more excuses! I love that the app is easy to use and offers high intensity interval training. It’s a fantastic option for any skill level with the ability to change the length and degree of difficulty. Combine that with a program that rewards you for making healthy choices to ensure important lifestyle changes. I earned bonus points just for connecting the app to my Walgreens Balance® Rewards account and setting my first goal. Joining is FREE, simple, effective and engaging. Plus, add the new everyday points perk and you’ll get 10 points per $1 spent in-store and online every day on products from the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® Program. There are some restrictions on earning and redeeming the points so check out walgreens.com/balance to add the perk and see the details.
Healthy Snacks- Snacking has been so important to keeping my metabolism going and blood sugar balanced. I’ve ditched the salty and high calorie snacks for fresh nutrient rich produce to power up for a summer of fun. Mixed nuts, fruit, and baby carrots all give me the energy I need to get in a good workout!

Hydrate- Water has been essential to my weight loss journey. While it’s not necessarily boosting my weight loss efforts it’s been a great alternative to higher calorie drinks like soda. Staying hydrated is one key to success especially when engaged in high-energy activities. I’ve learned quickly that keeping water bottles on hand helps me to consume more. Stocking up on water is easy AND I can earn everyday points.
Involve the Family- I love being rewarded for the things I do every day. I can track all the hikes and evening bike rides right in my Balance Rewards account. I’m earning 20 points each time I log an activity! Success is easy when I can pick healthy and fun activities that fit my lifestyle and that we can do as a family. With as little as 5,000 points I earned my first $5 Reward to use in-store or on Walgreens.com. The more I save, the more adventures I can go on this summer with my family. I also plan to use my rewards to purchase products my whole family loves within the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® Program, which include some of my favorite brands like JOHNSON’S®, NEUTROGENA® and LISTERINE®.
