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!

I would buy the Rock Band 2 Special Edition. My husband and son love to play Rock Band. I would love to win this, I have a lot of weight to lose and I am always looking for fun ways to exercise, so I don’t get bored!
Robin from GAs last blog post..
My pick from the Game Crazy top 10: Mario Party 8. We don’t have any Mario games for Wii and that looks like something all of us could enjoy.
Why I should win a Wii Fit? Because there’s no bigger klutz in the universe than me. I once joined a gym and almost offed myself on the treadmill. I need something I can do in the privacy of my own home where my lack of an athletic gene won’t cause all the other gym-goers to stop and stare while stifling giggles.

I would buy Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training. Mainly because I have all the other Wii games on the top 10 list (besides Wii Fit).
I also tweeted this contest. My tweet id is @choosinglosing . Thanks for the great giveaway! My fingers are crossed!

I would get the Animal Crossing game if I could pick any from the top ten.
I need this Wii Fit because I have gained 25 stupid pounds since this time last year. My doctor told me I needed to exercise more. Like that is so easy in this frigid weather we are having! Ugh…
Thanks for the chance!

I’d like Call of Duty because my boys and I play the war games together.
My reason I want one is posted on my blog. Dr’s say for health reasons I need to get up and move. Why not move and have it be family fun!
Thanks for the opportunity!
~kats last blog post..Workout Mommy Giveaway

The Wii Fit!! Or Mario Kart! I used to LOVE Mario Kart!!
I would get Rock Band 2, I want it so bad but my husband is a no go! hehe
oops I forgot to say why…I pregnant and will need to work off all the baby weight and my husband gains baby weight too so he could jump on!
chelles last blog post..Happy Birthday J!
I’d buy the Wii Play because it has lots of games to try! And I really, really want to win this because my knees are SHOT and I need a new way to exercise. And because.. well… there is this creature hanging off my body all the time that I want to get rid of. Not my toddler. My belly!
i would love the wii fit bundle…it would be a good double team with jillian’s 30 day to help get this bod back in rockin shape!

Oooh, crossbow training sounds interesting!
I’m such a Luddite, I usually avoid technology, but this sounds fun.
Merrys last blog post..Why I refused to review Diet Girl’s book (plus, a giveaway)
I would definitely pick the wii fit!
Why should I win? Oh gosh. I’ve been trying to get a wii fit since Christmas & they’ve been sold out everywhere! We found out that they had some in stock at our local target today, so I bundled up & went to the store excitedly, only to find out they sold out RIGHT before I got there.
Alexandra Stephensons last blog post.."Because Mama Loves to Rock!" Rockin’ Baby: Review
I’d love to try the Paws and Claws Pet Resort Game at Game Crazy.
Why should I win a Wii Fit? As I mentioned in another column here, I’ve lost over 82 pounds on Weight Watchers in the past year and a half. I’m DELIGHTED, of course. However, the weight isn’t–(ahem)–”distributed” in the same areas as it used to be. I’d love a FUN way to condition this new, not-so-muscular bod of mine.
Outstanding, generous giveaway. Thanks!

A Wii Fit! Wow, I would love to win this. I feel that it would be a great way to get in some family time and some exercise time. I think that in this day and age it’s important for kids to see us walk the walk and talk the talk. This would be a great way for my son to see me exercising in the not so traditional sense!

Natalia Burlesons last blog post..Dern Veggies! Update week 3 goals.
1. I’d pick Rock Band 2 Special Addition because Hubby & sons would love that!
2. I need to win because I’m an out of shape 52 year old Mom who wants to be around to have grand kids!!!
Oh, definitely the Animal Crossing: City Folk. My girls would love that! I’d love to win the Wii Fit because we just got our Wii system last week. My 6 yo daughter (unfortunately) will follow my side of the family and be a little on the “stocky” side. Since we’ve gotten the Wii, she has bowled every night and actually “sweated” and moved/jumped around. This is the best thing we’ve gotten to encourage movement for her, in addition to playing outside, and recess at school! Great giveaway – thanks for offering it!

Natalia Burlesons last blog post..Dern Veggies! Update week 3 goals.
I would chose a Wii Fit! I would love to have this because I think it would be a great way for the whole family to be active. It would also be fun!
Lauren@Baseballs&Bowss last blog post..A Long(er) Weekend
I would pick the Mario Party 8. Why should I win the Wii Fit? Well, apparently when you have a baby all that baby weight does not disappear at the birth. Here I thought the 40 pounds I gained during pregnancy would just fall off just like it “fell on” me. I guess then I would have had a 40 pound baby and that would have been interesting! So I have baby weight to lose!
We would get the Wii Fit. I think it would be great. Thanks for the chance.
Sonya Sparkss last blog post..Instant Cash Sweepstakes
I’d have to “win” Rock Band 2. I have 2 kids – we pulled out the little tykes drum & I swear my 7 1/2 month old actually had some rhythm. Since each “generation” of kids learns things quicker than the last, I think he’ll have an instrument mastered long before his 3 year old sister. That said, a Wii training tool to teach drums would allow me to bring the noisiest of instruments (a mother’s favorite
with the realm of the remote control (and the mute button). Evil mommy!
I would love the Wii Play. I have a ton of family members and having several options is the best!
I would love to win a Wii Fit so that I could give it to my friend. She is going through an extremely rough time right now with her little girl and they could use some fun and games.
I’ve been looking and looking and looking for the wii fit! Please pick me!
I’d probably pick Left for Dead or Call of Duty for my husband if I had to pick from the top ten. BUT, for me, I’d pick neighborhood games, which is not in the top ten, but maybe if I buy it, it WOULD be in the top ten! I also (obviously) want wii fit.
Mari Ickess last blog post..12/25/2008
I would buy Mario Party 8. We rent this game often and it’s fun to play as a family.
Why should I win the Wii Fit? Well, I’m 35 weeks pregnant, 30lbs heavier than I was 8 months ago and really desperate to work on getting rid of the pregnancy weight after she is born.

What a great giveaway! I would love a Wii Fit – I’ve been searching everywhere for one ever since I got my Wii for Christmas. Sometimes I find it extremely difficult getting motivated to get to the gym in winter – it’d be nice to have an exercise plan to fall back on at home.
Other than the Wii Fit, my favorite thing in the Top 10 List is Mario Kart – I have such fond memories of playing Mario Kart on my Nintendo 64 years ago…
Chrissys last blog post..The Dead of Winter
I would choose the Wii Fit. I’m really hoping to win one so I can give it to my sister. She just got married and has three kids (her husband’s) and is really wanting one to help her keep up with her health and fitness. She is dealing with a lot of stress and some health-related problems and I know the yoga and regular exercise would be a huge help to her and that she would be so thankful! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

I’d get the Rock Band 2 Special Edition ’cause my husband (a musician) and my kids (wannabe musicians) would love it. I would love to win the Wii Fit. I so want to get back in shape. Being a wahm and sitting in front of the computer most of the time is not good for my body. lol

I want the Wii Fit in the top ten
, I would like Animal Crossings but my girls would like Mario Party 8 the most. I want the wii fit so I can hula hoop to better health. When I was a kid I loved hula hooping. My record was hula hooping for over 2 hours. My siblings and ‘official’ timers gave up after 90 minutes, they were really bored. I also could hula hoop up and down stairs. In college I won a sundail watch (no watch hands, just a sundial you straped to your arm) hula hooping. I miss hula hooping, I try with my girls’ hoops but they always grap the hoop or want a turn. If I won I could Hula all the time and get healthy rolling my hips!!
Noreens last blog post..Princess A Fell Asleep Outside Our Door
I would buy the Wii Fit after all thats what this entire contest is about right:) I am the epitomy of a struggling workout mommy as I am a single mother raising beautiful kids and hey that seems like a deserving reason to me. Right?
Since I am not a gaming person the WiiFit is my choice. I would love to get this but purse strings are tight and I badly need to get a new laptop and camera too. Plus I would love to get rid of this weight after having my 2 girls (1.5 and 3.5 years and all the baby weight still there).
Mommy Niris last blog post..Friday 5: 5 Signs You Are A Mom
I would purchase MarioCart Wii if I won. From what I hear the kids would absolutely love it as would us grownups. I would like to win the WiiFit due to having 4 kids in the house all around same age and my being laid off in Sept a membership to a gym just isn’t feasible at this time. My husband and I both need to lose weight and wii fit may just be the way to do it from home. Look out for my tweet for this to get me an additional chance to win the WiiFit
GREAT give-away! I’m looking at all those games — not my thing — so truly have no idea. But I really am lusting after a Wii Fit. I’ve been wanting one fo-EVAH and this is my lucky comment, for sure!
