Sports Authority is Teaming Up With Nintendo! *Giveaway*

November 18, 2009 by Amanda  
Filed under Giveaways, Holiday 2009, Holiday Giveaway


Sports Authority is teaming up with Nintendo to create a new way to experience fitness gaming. The collaboration will allow Sports Authority to sell Wii gaming consoles, Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, as well as various accessories and games for the Wii, in its stores. To launch the product and to help customers get to know the Wii better, Sports Authority will create a “We know fit. We know fun.” experience at 102 of their stores. Stores will feature a dedicated area with a demo unit and knowledgeable trainers to help customers try the Wii and Wii Fit Plus before they buy. This new approach helps moms trade static workouts for ones that involve fun and fitness for the whole family.

Anyone who knows me, knows we love the Wii and love using Wii Fit! I recently was able to check out the new Wii Fit Plus game and it’s fun!!!

I am excited about Jillian Michael’s new game Fitness Ultimatum 2010 for the Wii and can not wait to try it out. I am a huge fan of Biggest Loser!

Tomorrow if you live in Southern California you can head out to Torrance and join a really fun event! Not only will Jillian Micahels be there, but you can win some awesome prizes! Trust me I wish I could make it tomorrow!

    I’ve found a great gym that I really like. I’m there 5 days a week – Boot camp, Zumba, Pilates, Skinny Jeans, plus personal training. I’m also trying to get into hiking more. (6 miles in the hills last Friday!) But my gym is closed on weekends. This would be wonderful! (It would also be great for my kids.)

    I get up at the crack of dawn to squeeze in an hour of exercise, 4-5 times a week. I used to be religious about it, but I’m in the final few months of writing a dissertation, so it’s taken a bit of a back seat. I could really use a new program to jump start my efforts again… and would *love*love*love* to win this.

This means carrying 30 pound blocks up 10 steps and across the yard, fitting them into place, leveling them, and repeating, oh about 150 times for one bed… then shoveling dirt from the bottom of the hill into a wheelbarrow, pushing it up the big hill, and then shoveling into the new bed… and I’ve got 4 more beds to go! Then, comes planting new trees, weeding and general taking care of…

    I have a hard time fitting exercise – especially now so I park far away and walk or take the stairs!

    i always take the stairs, never drive around looking for the closest parking space, just take any and walk, do pushups and situps every day

    I try and get exercise in my life by taking the kids I babysit to the farther park and rollerblading there. Theres a track that we all love to ride around! Sometimes it’s a stressful walk but it’s always a great feeling to get that extra exercise each day.
