The Wii Fit is the hottest game in town and I am so excited that  Game Crazy is letting me give one to YOU!  (yes, maybe you!!)

As I’ve posted before, the Wii Fit is a great way to help inactive people become more active.   Game Crazy recognizes this as well:

“The link between physical fitness and video games has never been so strong,” said Wes Sand, senior vice president at Game Crazy.  “Increasingly, physical activity is moving beyond just traditional sports and the typical health club regimen. Game Crazy experts can provide insights on the variety of virtual reality and simulation video games that can help Americans achieve a healthier lifestyle.”

I never thought I could use a game system as a means of being active,  but it’s true! It is also a great stress reliever (boxing!) and is something my entire family can do together.  Please visit your local Game Crazy for all the latest games, consoles and accessories to help you stick with your 2009 fitness goals.

Ready for your chance to win your own Wii Fit?

Here are the contest rules, please read carefully:

1. Visit Game Crazy and tell me which game in the Top 10 list you would buy if you are the winner.
2. Include in your  comment why you should be the winner.   (creative answers are always appreciated!)

You can earn bonus entries by:

1. Blogging about this contest and linking back to this post.
2. Tweeting about the contest.  Please leave me your twitter ID in the comments.

The winner will be chosen at random on  Thursday, January 23rd at 9pm EST.  Winner must provide a valid US mailing address.

I’m getting up now, putting on my weighted vest, and going to do the Wii Fit Hula Hoop!
Be active gang, no excuses!

We’ve been wanting one of these after playing tennis & bowling at friends houses over the holidays…While I think I would use the Yoga one the most, I think that the family would love playing the Elf Bowling game (the “real” bowling alley in our town closed and we are so bummed!) Anyway, thanks for the opp.

Oh lordy do I need a Wii Fit! I used to be a gym rat–lost 100 lbs and kept most of it off with a lot of hard work. Then I had a baby. Um, 2 1/2 years ago. The baby weight came right off (thanks, breastfeeding) but the I’ve-got-no-time-to-exercise-and-my-eating’s-gone-to-crap weight is piling on faster than I can say “Wii.” Exercising during junior’s nap: Fantastic. Thanks!

I’ve been doing the same fitness routine at home for the last four years or so and I’ve been thinking it’s time to change it up. I’ve successfully developed the habit of exercise, but I’m on autopilot. I’d the love a Wii Fit and I probably would buy a personal-trainer type game. I have to say I love the idea of the weighted vest+hula hoop!

I’ll twitter about the contest. I’m janinea at Twitter.

awesome! i would choose star wars legoland because we already have the other family friendly games.

i would love the wii fit for me, my hubby & our two kids but especially for me & my daughter. i have to limit d’s sun exposure so she doesn’t always get lots of exercise. this would give it to her w/o any problems!

If I won I would buy Wii Play – as a former PE teacher this would be so much fun since I really miss playing, oops I mean working, with my students. I really need to win this because I live in the mountains and with 2 little babies, it is too hard to get out in the ice and snow to exercise – that leaves indoor exercise and this just looks like so much fun!!

I would love to have a Wii Fit! We live in a part of the country (Iowa) that has inhospitable weather for a significant part of the year. My husband, daughter and I stay active during the nice months, but have a heard time moving enough during the winter. I think Wii Play looks like tons of fun, too! Thanks!

Oh, the Wii Fit definitely. We have Guitar Hero, and it’s not fun for old people (like me..) ‘cuz my kids kick my booty!

So, please, Wii Fit. I’m really young, and would like to stop hearing “You look great for having 4 kids.”

We need a Wii game in the house that I can hog for a change…

I would get the star wars lego for my son and use the WII for me. We had a preemie baby in May and all our $ goes to those bills so I can’t get a WII fit. I did retweet I am b1tchkitty on twitter

I would like the Wii Play. I want this because it is sooo much fun. My parents have this and my inactive mother uses it and actually breaks a sweat. We have played it at their house initially it seems like too much fun to be exercise but after the 30 minutes my core muscles were sore.

I need a Wii Fit. I used to run like crazy, even did a marathon… then I had a kid. Now I work, mother and work. I sneak in my workouts at lunchtime or late at night. My treadmill is good, but a Wii Fit would be AWESOME! Plus, I would love to Wii with my beautiful daughter!

As for a game, I would buy the Trivial Pursuit game because I am crazy competitive about games and winning. ;-)

I really need to win this because I’m a mother of 4 all under the age of 4. I just had a baby 2 months ago and I can’t get rid of my baby weight from when I had my first baby. If I won, I would buy the Wii Play so I can play with my kids.

Rock Band 2 Special Edition would be my pick for my children.
