New year, new U

By Mir
January 3, 2011
Category Contests

Are you one of the people who vowed to take better care of yourself in 2011? Last year I did a fitness challenge to kick off 2010 and it was awesome, because it afforded me the opportunity to 1) complain endlessly about how much I hated it and then 2) buy new pants at the end. Win/win!

Anyway, if you’re looking to work out at home a bit more this year, may I recommend New U Mind/Body Yoga & Pilates Workout for your Wii? It looks like a great way to reap the fitness benefits of a rigorous workout without having to embarrass yourself in front of other people. And I’m giving a copy away!

Want to win it? First, go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, January 6th, 2011 for a chance to win. I’ll pick a winner via random number generation and centeredness of your tree pose. (Handy tip: Try not to fall over.)

Ready? Go!

  1. Super! If now I can only pry the Wii away from the kids!

  2. This would be awesome, I love pilates and yoga. Pick me!!!!

  3. I would love this!

  4. Nice!

  5. Well, my tree pose may not be very centered, but I haven’t fallen over yet! I need more practice, so this would be awesome!

  6. This would be much more helpful than flailing about with drumsticks! 😉

  7. Pick me! I need a new mind and body!

  8. That sounds great, although I will definitely fall over! I have horrible balance. And I currently have the hiccups, which doesn’t help.

  9. This would inspire me to buy a wii!

  10. My mind could always use some improving, my body might be beyond help, but I’ll give it a whirl.

  11. Thank you!!

  12. My Wii enjoys telling me I’m off balanced. I so need this.

  13. We have a new Wii in our house, and this would be an awesome addition!

  14. Sounds great!

  15. I can not do a tree pose for the life of me. Doesn’t stop me from trying though!

  16. This could just about force me into some exercise…

  17. I’d love this – I can only get so much exercise with Wii Sports hula hoopin’!

  18. sounds lovely!

  19. I would love this! Thanks.

  20. Maybe this will be just the motivation that I need 🙂

  21. Looks fabulous! I’d like to as well…

  22. My Wii constantly tells me I have great balance and then says I need to work more on my core. It builds me up to beat me down, so perhaps I need a new trainer! Thanks for this!

  23. This is the ONLY exercise I partake in. When I actually exercise. If I won, I suppose it would mean I should start exercising again. If I don’t win? I STILL win because then the universe is saying I can still be a lazy pants.

  24. I’m working on making a list of 40 things I want to do by the time I am 40. Learning yoga is on the list. This would be very helpful and would save me from much embarrassment!

  25. Ooooh. Pick me! Pick me! Thanks for the giveaway!

  26. All I need now is someone to help me figure out how to hook the Wii to the TV. I know. I used to be able to do this myself, but this time, I can’t figure it out.

  27. Sounds Great…Random Number Choose ME!!!!

  28. Love is a strong word, but I would appreciate this and make good use of it. Thanks, Pretty Mir!

  29. Count me in! My mind and body could both use some help!

  45. I would definitely like to give this a try. Thanks for the giveaway.

  46. This would be awesome!

  47. Me! Me! I’m co-ordination-challenged and need to practice A LOT before I take a class in front of other humans!

  48. I would LOVE to try that out in the privacy of my own home. And we JUST got a wii so I actually qualify for this now!!!

  61. Ooooooh, yeah!!!

  62. It’s a new year and I REALLY want a new me. Or at least some peace of mind. Could REALLY use that…

  64. Wouldn’t this just be the ticket? Happy New Year, indeed!

  65. I could really use this!

  66. maybe this will get me to use our Wii!

  67. oh, heck yes!!

  68. ooh, want! I was going to a pilates class but totally fell off the wagon.

  69. Umm, it sounds like fun? No that’s not right . . . it sounds necessary?

  70. I would love it on a cold day like today. I hate getting all bundled up for the gym… this way I can do exercises in my PJs!

  78. Loathe though I am to admit it, my current regimen of sitting on the couch with my computer and Christmas cookies isn’t actually working that well for me. Please help.

  79. Since I didn’t get the Wii Fit that I requested for Christmas, this would be perfect!

  80. isn’t it time I win something already? And, by the way you are pretty!

  83. This would be a fabulous way to start the year!

  87. cool!

  88. only day 3 and i have already failed my resolution to go to the gym EVERY day. this woudl be a great addition to my normal rotation.

  89. Still don’t own a Wii… but keep thinking if I someday win one of your Wii-game giveaways I’ll have a perfect excuse to get one! 🙂

  90. I have been drooling over this – seriously need some Pilates in my life!

  91. Need this…

  92. Wheeeeeeee….we just got a Wii and we (I) could use this!

  102. My tree pose is remarkably good, at least in comparison to dancer.

  103. I need a reason to learn to use the Wii after a year (and many games of Mario Bros under my daughters’ belts) in this house, and I love Pilates. This could be the reason. Choose me, Random Number Generator!!
    Thanks.

  104. Since I decided that my resolution (like a million other people) was to exercise more (okay, at all) this would be great! I’ve been using Wii Fit Plus, which I love, but who wouldn’t want something new?

  105. Would love it!

  106. I would love this.

  107. Meeeeeeeee!

  108. I so need something new to motivate me 🙂

  109. I would love this! My goal this year it to work out every single day. Three days down…362 left to go!

  121. I love Pilates! Not Yoga, so much, but what the heck.

  122. I need this to help with my new health-kick! =)

  123. I have renamed my belly and behind “pierogi” and “ravioli”. I could use this to get rid of them!

  124. Would love this! Have vowed to spend time every day with my wii fit. This will help to mix it up a bit!

  125. Keep thinking about taking a yoga class, but am already blushing at the thought of how much I would embarrass myself. Maybe this will make me a little braver!!!

  126. My expanding bottom would really benefit from this!!

  127. I would love to try this!

  128. My tree pose is actually quite off-center, thus I need to win this! See my logic?

  171. I’d love to see if this can kickstart my weight loss this year!

  172. We love this!!

  173. Last year, I did the EA Sport Active to jumpstart my weight loss program… and prompty injured the Achilles tendon in both ankles, which resulted in being on crutches for a few weeks. So I could just imagine what I could hurt with a yoga/pilates program for the Wii!
