Alright everyone…it’s that time again!  Strap on your running shoes, do some stretches and let’s see some sprints, squats or push-ups.  Summer is around the corner and we want the eHow community to be beach ready.

Okay-okay…if you’re not quite ready to get your heart pumping, we want you to crack your knuckles and start typing up your favorite fitness routines.  Tell us how you get fit and shed that winter flab.  This isn’t your everyday call to action, to sweeten the pot we are running (*PUN* intended) a contest for the best “Health & Fitness” articles to be featured on the eHow Homepage.  And as if Homepage glory wasn’t enough…we’ll be giving out some moolah to some of the winners.  If this sounds like your cup-o-tea, check out the eHow Homepage Contest details on “eHow Contest” section of our Forums.  Last but not least, the winning articles will be featured on the eHow Hompage so if you can spruce up your article submissions a bit with some quality photos, it’ll be grooooooovy!

eHow.com is “going green” this April and we want everyone to know that we are in support of being environmentally friendly.  Of course being a site that is in favor of being “green,” we could only hope for our users to be part of the “green” movement as well.  Well, if you are all about being kind to our Mother Earth, this is a great opportunity for you to illustrate your advocacy for the protection of the environment.  eHow.com is holding a promotion for our community members and we want you to showcase your environmentally friendly How To articles.  Know an innovative way to conserve water usage?  Or maybe you know a great way to re-use plastic items?  We would like to know and we want you to share your solution with the community.  We’re giving away some cool eHow eco-friendly goodies to our winners, and one grand prize winner will win the ultimate eHow “Go Green” prize pack!  Deadline for the contest is April 30. 2009.  Are you the “greenest” member on eHow?  Submit your articles today!
