Get Fit with Games

New Year's Resolution anyone? I know I made mine and broke it already. I want to lose some weight! Especially my holiday pounds.


But sometimes getting out for a run or to the gym can be a challenge, especially for you busy moms. Nowadays there are new ways to get in shape that makes a fun alternative to the treadmill or bike and enables us to burn calories, alleviate stress and enjoy quality family time.

What's that you say???

Play popular videogames! like Wii Fit, My Fitness Coach or Dance, and Dance Revolution. Its makes exercise fun! And games like Brain Age or Crosswords DS give your brain a workout too. And its addictive. Seriously, there is a reason that kids sit in front of the TV for hours with a remote in their hands. Its fun! I love my Dance Revolution Game. I look silly and I am horrible at it but in the end I know I got off my booty and burned some calories!


So I wanted to let you all know that GameStop is having a special promotion it's called "Sharpen the Mind, Shape the Body" and I just read this:


“As a special incentive, all shoppers who spend $35 or more on designated products will receive a free 12-month trial subscription to their choice of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Redbook, Good Housekeeping or Esquire.”


This is cool. buy a game, get fit, and then enjoy a soak in the tub with your free magazine.
This promotion is only till end of January so go get your gaming on! Your kids will love you for it!
