Sports Authority is Teaming Up With Nintendo! *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 would love to have this for my Facebook addicted 17 year old who did NOT go out for Cross Country this fall. Shes feeling it!!!

    I work at a busy fast food restaurant, I try to be in a position where I have to run around alot. On the weekends I ride my bicycle 5-6 miles on a hike and bike trail to strengh train my knees. (I have barely any cartilage in them and my tendons are overgrown, I’ve had surgeries on both).

    I park as far away as possible from a store so I have to walk a good distance to the store and back to my car. And I takes the stairs instead of the elevator.
