Throwback Thursday (Sort Of) Giveaway – Sony Walkman Reinvented!

In honor of “Throw Back Thursdays” (a/k/a #TBT), Sony Audio and  Lifetime Fitness have offered me a new “Walkman” to give away. Remember the days when you grabbed your yellow Sport Walkman, puffy headphones and favorite cassettes to power through your workouts? I know some of you may not be old enough for this, but please play along. Luckily, they have not offered me one of those to give away. If you want one of those, I think the husband and I still may have one around the house (and he definitely has cassettes because his 1987 car is “stock”.) Sorry, I digress. sony audio

The good news is that even though the giveaway is a throwback themed, the new Sony W-Series Sports MP3 is totally current. It’s wire free and waterproof, so you can upload up your favorite tunes (oldies or brand new ones) and even take it in the pool for a swim!

The Sony W-Series Sports MP3 player:

  • Can be submerged in up to 2 meters of water
  • Has a quick charge feature that gives you an hour of playback after 3 minutes charge (don’t we all wish our “i-devices” and Garmins had this?!)
  • Has up to 8 hours of power per charge (rechargeable Li-ion battery)
  • Holds approximately 1,000 songs! (4GB)
  • Has easy drag and drop from iTunes or Windows Media
  • Is compatible with a number of formats

In support of Throwback Thursday, Lifetime Fitness is releasing some of their favorite workout tunes from yesteryear with a #tbt playlist every week on SpotifyThey have some great ones from the 80s, 90s and even the 00s!

I think this could definitely make swimming workouts more fun – if I could ever get myself in the pool. Want to give it a try? You have to be in it to win it, so enter using the Rafflecopter below.
