New, Better-than-Ever Videos--Plus SparkPoints for Watching!

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Good morning, everyone!

We're excited to unveil today a redesign of our video pages! Our videos are now easier to browse, thanks to tags and categories that separate them by body focus, intensity level, type of workout/video and more.

We've also added new videos from our partner Everwell that cover various nutrition and wellness topics as chosen by our editors.

When viewing a video, the video screen is larger than ever! The new sharing bar on the left makes it easy to "like," tweet, pin and Save (to your SparkFavorites). In addition, all actual workout videos have a "Track Calories Burned" button below them that makes it easy to add the workout to your Fitness Tracker. Note: This button only shows up on workout videos and when you are logged in to the site.

Starting today, you'll also be able to earn 3 SparkPoints each day for watching a video on SparkPeople! Simply click the "Get Your SparkPoints" button beneath the video screen.

We hope that this new redesign will make it easier than ever for you to watch, learn from and work out to our video collection!
