Congrulations to our winners: Peajewel and MomTo2Boys2526!
When it comes to video games, we have the following rule in my house: No more than one hour of playing video games a day—no exceptions!
Lately, however, there's been some debate around this rule, especially when it comes to fitness video games. Here's the argument: Should working out with a fitness video game count in a person's one-hour time limit? (My husband says no—he's not "playing," he's working out. I respectfully disagree.)
The new Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy Wii game further complicates the situation because it is the first fitness game that enables people to experience a comprehensive workout controller-free. Instead of a controller, a motion-sensing camera scans players’ bodies, assessing their current fitness level and then projecting their images onto the TV. Pretty cool, eh? Oh, and Jenny McCarthy is there, too.
You can win a copy of the new Your Shape Wii game. To enter the contest, tell us:

I have never played one.
I am back to the Wii Fit 1-3 x a week. I could totally use some fitness game that is more challenging, but for now the yoga is helping my flexibility.
I have "played" a few times with my niece it was super fun especially since she is so competitive.
I have to say I have never played one before. I have looked at them but I haven't bought one yet.
I played once at my Sister in Law's house. She has a Wii! I would love this game.
We only play our Wii Fit about once a week. I'm hoping to play a lot more this summer when I'm not so darn busy with school.
I've never played one, but I'm looking for an exercise plan I can do at home now that baby is on this side of the womb.
I have a Wii Fit so I play that quite often. I try and do it every day but I fail with that goal. So a few times a week is the best I can do. I also just bought Just Dance which really is a great cardio game. I have seen this Your Shape game and it looks amazing. PLUS I LOVE Jenny McCarthy! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
since i don't have one, never but i do like to excercise and it looks like fun =-D
We just got a wii, so I haven't "played" any fitness games on it yet (don't own any as of yet)...but it occurs to me that aren't they all fitness to some extent though, unless you've honed the skill of bowling from the couch like my dh and teen daughters have? LOL!
