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!)

MizFits last blog post..Biggest Loser. General Mills. And some links just PACKED with thrills.
Aside from the Wii Fit, I think I might like the Animal Crossing game because I have kids and they might like that.
I would LOVE to win this!! Last summer I started running seriously (every day during naptime) and I loved it. I was just starting to develop a bigger program of exercise and researching other things I could do when…I got pregnant again. Given my history with pregnancies, it was decided it best that I stop running!
SO now I’m feeling big and huge and ucky and can’t wait until April when I can start up on a fitness routine again! This would be an awesome way to mix things up.
Oh and aside from wiifit, I would choose Rock Band. I hear from friends that it is a game that all ages can play (so my 5 and 2 year old could get in on the action) and would be a fun way to bring our family together!!
Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway!!
I have been wanting to try the Wii fit, but if I weren’t such a selfish mom, I may get mario kart for the kids. They really would like that… I should win because its 10 degrees outside and I really need some indoor exercise options. I heard our Utah winter is going to last until July.
Super Healthy Kidss last blog post..Having Snacks Ready
I would love to win the Wii Fit System. We just got the Wii console for Christmas and we love it, but even my husband has been wanting to get the Wii fit.
I checked out Game Crazy and I would purchase Wii Play- because it would be a perfect fit game to play with our kids.
My husband and I would both like to fit in daily exercise but have had a hard time fitting it in during the cold and dark months. We are very busy with 3 boys 6 and under and not only would my husband and I be able to get more fitness into our days, but we would be a good example to out boys and we would be more likely to do a wii workout because we can have fun and do it with our kids.
Having 3 boys under 6 and a business is very busy, and during the cold and raining times it is hard to burn off my kids energy- and having the wii fit would help me accomplish this. It would also be a wonderful stress reliever to fit in a fitness activity and laughs, while also getting a second to myself while my boys take a turn.
For this mom’s sanity a wii fit would definitely help out with the running around the house and the chaos- I have even considered adding on to our hosue again to add a sport room with padded sides so I can let my boys run wild and burn some energy but that is not an option at the moment- so until I get my padded room!!!- this would be a great fix!
I posted a comment or tweet and I add a blog post at http://www.mommie911.com
Wooo Hoooo!!! Awesome giveaway! Sign me up.
I love the sound of the Neighborhood Games one…I think that’s a game that our entire family would enjoy. We don’t have a Wii system yet but I’d love to get one! I work 30 hours a week (and blog) and my husband is a small business owner so we have trouble carving out time to work out. The Wii Fit would be perfect for us!
I’m so on fire for this contest. Okay, I’d probably go with Wii Play (9 games in one including tennis – I’m all about it). Also tweeted about this contest (username: gyrlxoxo), and will probably post about it tomorrow.
Tanyas last blog post..Workout Song of the Day: If I Ever Feel Better
I would really, really like to win the Wii Fit … since I need to get more Fit myself and so does my family. The Top 10 game I would get would be Wii Play, as this sounds like it has alot of physical activities to play. The best thing about the Wii is that it gets families together having Fun & Exercise! It’s TOO cold out to exercise outdoors for me, so I hope I win this great giveaway. Thank You! Am posting a tweet at twitter.com/ziggityzoom Right Now!
Wow… what a great giveaway!! The Wii Fit is my first choice, but Mario Kart Wii is a close second!!
I NEED this in a really bad way. I recently found out how old (okay maybe not that old, but I sure feel old some days!!) and out of shape I really am when I sprained my ankle and tore some ligaments just by racing my little guy in the backyard- and he WON!!!
It’s really sad, but I know there’s hope for me and maybe, just maybe this is my chance!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Jenn Ws last blog post..Winner!!
Oh… and I just tweeted the contest as well- “OneHouseSchool”
Thanks again!!
Jenn Ws last blog post..Winner!!
I have wanted a Wii fit for a while now..That is definitely my favorite on the list!! So excited about this givewaway, I’m a new mommy and could really benefit from this…I love to exercise!

I would LOVE to win the wii fit so that I can finally learn how to beat my aunt at wii hula hoop!
If I won the wii fit I would also buy the wii play 9 in 1 game so that I could try my hand at wii tennis and bowling and baseball.
Thanks for the chance to win I mentioned this contest in my blog!
I would buy (after saving up!) Mario Kart, because it’s something that my son and I could play together.
Why would I like to win?
I’m a single WAHM, raising my son on a very tight income.
Health and fitness is a concern, but not something I can easily do about. When you make less than 10K a year, your options are very, very, very limited.
I walk, as much as I can, but with as bitterly cold as this winter has been, that’s getting harder and harder to do.
Having a Wii Fit would allow me to do what I need to do to shed the weight (70 lbs to go!) in the warmth of my own home.
And it’s another thing that my son and I could do together!
Gwynnes last blog post..Light Bulbs, Toilet Paper, and Garbage Bags, Oh My!!!
hmm wii fit is number one but the mario kart or my hubby wants the resident evil 4 game and the kids want also other then mario kart is the matio party game so those would be my choices haha

I would get the Wii Fit & – if I had to choose something else, probably Animal Crossing.
I don’t need this for myself, as I’m fine. But my little sister has had a craptastic year. She lost her job. She’s on the verge of losing her house. She’s gained 30 lbs (that she’d worked so hard to lose) & had to cancel her gym membership.
This would be something simple for her to use that might help her get back on track – but something that she could never afford to buy herself – and I could not afford to buy it for her either (my husband is also currently jobless).
She has to struggle so much for everything, and I’d just like to help make one thing (and a very important one thing) a little easier for her.
Amys last blog post..PORN!!!
I think I would choose Rock Band. That looks like sooooo much fun.

I would love to win this wii fit. I need to get in shape and don’t get home ’til dark, so no walking for me at night and I live too far from a gym to join. I need to get my son in shape and we need some bonding time (he is my step-son and his mom moved to FL and didn’t even tell him that she was moving just left him at our house) So some healthy fun bonding would be great.
I woul choose the wii zapper with Link’s crossbow trainer. We love Zelda/Link and it would be great fun shooting the crossbow.
I twittered about this

I would get Mario Kart II if I won b/c my kids are dying to have this game and it would be a win-win for both of us if I won the WIi Fit. We love the Wii we got for Christmas, but the Wii Fit Hula-Hoop and Ski Jump are things I could do every morning to stay in shape and have fun too. Thanks!
I want to get the Animal Crossing game, it’s not a FIT game but that’s okay because it’s something the kids can play too (that & the top 10 didn’t give any FIT games lol).
I should win because I’m trying very very hard to lose a lot of weight and I want to try the Yoga on the Wii Fit. And I think it’s something my husband wouldn’t mind doing vs going to the gym.
okay oooppps I forgot to put my twitter name in there it’s @smckinney79

in just a few mins lol
My mom made a rule growing up…”girls don’t play video games”. I grew up with all girls, and just thought that was a normal rule =) Smart mom, we also weren’t allowed to watch TV (except for 30min on Saturday mornings). We were more active, talked to each other more, and got our homework done =)
Wii Fitt is all about being active, we will totally be getting one, once the hubby graduates, or we’ll just go outside and play =)
Fitness Surfers last blog post..Training Session: Test, Triceps and Chest
I would pick the Mario Kart for the boyz!
Why am I coveting a Wii Fit? 2 words: NEGATIVE SEVEN. That was our temp here in MA this morning. If I’m gonna be stuck indoors, I may as well be getting fit (b/c it’s either that or god forbid, CLEAN the Trenches!)
Trenches of Mommyhoods last blog post..Winter Sickness Woes
Oh the WiiFIT! We are one out of touch family when it comes to video games. We’ve contemplated the Wii since it would be something we can do together AND move our bodies while doing it!
Aside from the WiiFit, I would have to say I’d be intrested in the Wii Sports game. I love the idea of getting the energy out and everyone in my family could take advantage of it.
And one reason why I know my husband would love it if I won the Wii fit would by Yoga and working on my core, especially balance – I am one major CLUTZ!!!!!
Frannies last blog post..Hold the Phone . . . Book
We’re all big fans of Deal Or No Deal in this house so I think that’s something we could all play together!
I need Wii Fit because I hate exercising. Truly I do. Hopefully if I can do something that is a game with benefits, that’d be awesome.
Thea @ I’m a Drama Mamas last blog post..Fitness Friday
Awesome idea! Next to the Wii Fit..Animal Crossing: City Folk. I am all about the kiddies ya know! I tweeted it…will re-tweet again, also Stumbled! Very good!
Mark Salinass last blog post..Your Journey
I Tweeted @3OBXERS and I blogged at http://threerowlands.blogspot.com/
I would be interested in RockStar. It seems like a fun game to play with the family just like the Wii.
Tabithas last blog post..The Great Wolf Lodge
I would love to have play Rock Band 2! I totally need this because I have 2 little boys, a dog, and I’m pregnant again, so I need all the entertainment I can get. Not only could I use the exercise with Wii Fit but my boys would get great entertainment from watching me attempt Rock Band. (I kick arse at airdrumming, by the way.)
Lainie (Fitness Fig)s last blog post..Workout Video Pet Peeves
The Wii Fit of course
Awesome contest! I will link on my blog 
Annettes last blog post..Embrace your Body TODAY
I would love to win the Wii Fit! Especially as that is the only way I can get it. We are living The Compact life this year and won’t be buying anything new. As a mother to a toddler with another on the way I am always looking for more ways to stay in shape around the house.
As such, I would opt for the Wii Play in addition t the Fit.

Wii Fit GIVEAWAY. I have to tweet about it to up my chances of winning. But don’t enter, I want it!! http://tinyurl.com/8evehk

Leighs last blog post..7 things you don’t need to know
I”m not much of a gamer, and I can’t believe I’m even considering a WiiFit, but I hear such great things about it. My chiropractor wants me to increase my balance strength training so I’ll quite throwing my damn back out. Hula Hooping with the Wii sounds like a great plan to me!
As for which of the top 10 games I’d go for…Wii Play of course. Not quite so gamer, but still fun.
Kats last blog post..A New Stove!!!
I would definitely get Mario Party 8. Wii was our big gift from my parents this year, and we’ve been loving it. I really want a Wii Fit – but my birthday’s not until June. Seeing as the wind chill didn’t get above 0 here today, exercising to help with the postpartum pounds is just not happening (DS is 8, almost 9, months old – guess it won’t be 9 months to put it on, 9 months to take it off). A Wii Fit would be SOOO helpful this winter with increasing my activity!
I would go with Wii Fit. I have Active Outdoor Challengenge and love it (even though I stink at it).
In addition to physical activity, it gives me a chance to play together with my kid. I try to go the gym or exercise with DVDs and always tell my son that I have no time to be with him. This way, I won’t feel guilty about not exercising and make myself and my baby happy. Also, my family gets such a kick out of my uncoordinated efforts. ANd since my 9-year old beats me on all these games, he is very happy and pleased.
( May be my child would like the Super Smash Mario brothers or the Rock Band.. .but the whole point id for mommy to hang out with the little boy).
Ooohh, great contest! I have been wanting a Wii fit for while now. They look like so much fun! And I know it would help my motivation and just to keep me moving too. My hubs doesn’t think he would like it but I think once he tried it, and we could play together, he would be hooked
If I were to win I would also purchase the Super Smash Bros Brawl game – I just wanna see all those different characters brawl, haha!
I have linked the contest on my blog at: http://lifeinlizsshoes.blogspot.com/
Lizs last blog post..Quick post about a contest I heard about….
If I was the winner, I’d also buy Wii Play. It’s a great group game! I’d love to win a Wii Fit cause then I could do some physical activity with the husband while at home!
I would get Mario Kart because my local store is always out of it so I haven’t gotten it, yet!
I need a Wii Fit because my co-blogger does not have it and we need to encourage one another to get healthy!
Mandie P.s last blog post..Stay-at-Home Dad
1) I would enjoy the MarioKart… seeing that my driving is probably not far off from theirs!
2) Why do I want to win this? Just like 99% of the U.S. right now my life is nothing but stress (check out today post!) The thought of being able to do something that is good for me and at the same time relieve some stress… well, I just cant pass it up!
I would probably choose the WiiPlay, because it sound like good exercise too. I would love the WiiFit because it is great for all ages, so everyone in my home will use it.
Mario Kart for hubs. We can’t find that or Wii fit anywhere local. I would like a Wii fit to add more variety to my current workouts. And I think hubby would also do it since he loves the Wii anyway. What a fun contest. Thanks for the chance to enter.
Angies last blog post..Exciting and busy week
I would like to try Mario Kart Wii for me and my family. We just bought the wii last week. It is great fun. I should win the wii fit so my family can expand our fun and give my wife time to do more fun gaming/exercising. Thanks.
I would like to get the Mario Kart game…I have heard great things about it. Everyone makes fun of me because I always drive the speed limit (ie: like a granny)…I would love the chance to drive like a crazy person!!
Katys last blog post..Tune in to WordPress.tv
would love to win
I have been hearing all about the Wii Fit and it looks like a total blast! A great way to get in shape while having fun AND keep track of your stats (right up my alley). The Wii Fun looks great, too – how cool!
syds last blog post..catching a break
I would certainly choose Wii Fit as my top ten choice. If that wasn’t an option my next pick would be Mario Kart. Because I know I could get the whole family to play it.
Why should I win, you ask? Because I’m fat. And I’m lazy. Lol. And maybe if I convince myself it’s a video game and not “working out” then I’ll do it and do it well!
