Personal Trainer: Cooking & QUICK YOGA TRAINING DS Giveaway
January 5, 2009 by Kimberly · 50 Comments
This month at Mom in the City, we will be focusing on Personal Growth/Health & Wellness. The following healthy, gourmet meals and de-stressing workout giveaway will be a great help for 2009 diet and exercise “resolutions/goals”.
The first item is Personal Trainer: Cooking for the DS. This is a great interactive coach that helps beginner and experienced cooks. There are over 245 recipes from around the globe included that you will be taught to cook by the DS Chef. In addition to giving cooking instructions, you can also use the DS to create a shopping list, do calorie counts of recipes and much more. What is especially neat is that you can use voice commands to go to various steps so that you don’t get your DS messy while cooking. This is a great way to help you plan and create fun, new meals for your family for the New Year! (I’ll also include a Personal Trainer: Cooking reusable shopping bag to take with you to make groceries for your new gourmet creations.)
Below, you can see a clip of Lisa Kudrow using the trainer:
The winner will also receive QUICK YOGA TRAINING. Once again, this yoga trainer is good for everyone, from beginners to experienced yoga fans. Your virtual trainer will take you through over 180 poses that you get to choose from. This trainer also has navigation and voice recognition so that you can practice your yoga hands-free (of the DS). Other great features are that the system evaluates your physical age, adapts lessons to your level AND measures your breathing pace.
To enter to win both DS games and the reusable shopping bag, please leave your name in the “Comments” section below along with a reason that you’d like to change your diet and/or exercise habits in 2009 (or send an email to contests@mominthecity.com with “Healthy” in the Subject line and the answer) by January 31st.
(To see other contests & giveaways around the web, visit Contesting Monday or Contest Monday.)
I need to make some diet changes this year because of my last pregnancy. It ended with Gestational Diabetes, which still has some lasting effects on my body and since my son is still nursing, on him as well. I know I can change the course of my next pregnancy by creating healthy living now. And exercise always helps! Started the two hundred sit up’s and 100 push ups challenge with my husband
My bride-to-be and I are preparing for our wedding and we both desperately want to get in shape, and cook for ourselves so that we can monitor our calorie intake. We are paying for the wedding all ourselves, so it would be awesome to get a giveaway recipe trainer and I’m sure the yoga would help a great deal! Moreover, my wonderful lady has a heart condition, and I’m hoping the light activity and some healthy meals would help her stay in my life as long as possible.
I’d simply like to be more consistent. I’ve set aside a day a week for working out while my son’s in preschool. Hopefully I’ll stick to it!
I would like to diversify my workout more to tone more muscles. Also would like to expand my diet to include more variety to leverage nutrient intakes.
we have very long winters up here which makes it difficult to get out and be active most of the time
I quit smoking about 2 years ago and have gained 40 pounds. I know…not good. This New Years resolution is to get my body back. I conquered the cigs, I can conquer this. Thanks for the great contest!
I have been out of shape for a long time now and would love to eat healthier. I don’t usually get out much due to the cold weather. Plus I would love new things to cook.
I want to try to be more consistent with exercise
My new years resolution was to finally quit smoking (6 days, going strong!) and exercise will be a very important aspect of this change!
Hi
My name is Christine, Happy New Year to you.
I NEED to change my eating and lifestyle habits for health reasons. After a year of health related crisis hell, the solution has become clear. I’m having to learn new ways to think and eat things now in order to be a healthier me. I want off all the medication I am on now! A change in my eating lifestyle and knowledge of how to will help me accomplish that goal!
One reason is i still have my baby weight and my baby is 5! I need to try something different. I would also like set a positive example for my kids.
I just want to be healthy – not necessarily loose weight… I think this could be the year
I want to make time for myself to exercise
Because we are TTC! I want a healthy baby.

I want to try to exercise more …not an easy task
thanks!
I grew up being forbidden to enter the kitchen, because it was considered “dangerous.” However, I actually encourage my 5 yr old daughter to cook with me. She respects food and knows not to waste. She also knows the dangers of sharps and fire. I think that is a more healthy attitude rather than keeping the kitchen off limits. Afterall, we love good food!
I need to change my diet due my taking cuminin and having open heart surgery. I have been doing pretty well, but could do better, also need to exercise more.
I use a walker and have trouble getting around. I want to work towards walking to all 3 meals a day this year
Wow, what an amazing giveaway! Those ‘games’ look truly great.
I vowed to change my diet, my body and my soul for 2009, not just a New Year’s resolution but a lifelong change. I know myself, and I know that when I feel amazing, my good vibe passes onto others, so that I can interact with people and spread happiness much more easily. I want to be able to do this everyday, to enrich my life with new friendships and new experiences.
I am now homeschooling my DS for medical reasons. He loves to cook and we like to try new things together, as well a with his little sister. This would be a great motivator to try new things for all of us! My Dh has diabetes and high BP, so we are trying to eat healthier than ever before!
i’dlike to try to exercise more in 2009 (at least compared to the winter months!) to lose some weight.
Hi, I found your listing at Momdot.com. I would like to change things because I am overweight. I guess after five children it’s about time to shed some unwanted pounds. I have been waiting for someone to give this exact product away. I read an article about it in the GAMEINFORMER – January 2009 issue. They also mentioned “What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliver.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I have two children and they need me to be around. I lost my dad a couple of years ago, he was only 53 and I do not want my children to have to deal with a premature death of a parent. I need to change my eating and exercise habits to be healty!
I am eager to change my eating habits and start a fitness regimen because in 2009, I am not planning to carry, bear, or feed a baby! Woo hoo! My body is mine again!
And now I’ve got to get to work…

Good Morning! The #1 Reason that we are changing our diets and exercise habits is because I lost my dad to Cancer in June of 08 and we NEED to be healthier. My husband and I are determined to set better examples for our boys.
I would love to win the Yoga Training for myself and for 6 year old son. A wonderful friend gave my family a Wii and Wii Fit for Christmas. My son has actually found a new obsession with Yoga! lol He was playing the Yoga on Wii Fit. I would love to win this for him to help him learn better and so that he could also do it away from home.
I would love to win the PT Trainer for myself. I have been obsession over this one since I first saw the commercial with Lisa Kudrow. I think it is one of the greatest things I have seen this year!
Thank you so much for the Giveaway and the Entry!

wow that’s a really cool DS game!!! i’d love to win. i’ve always been a healthy eater but i’m stepping it up for 2009!
I need to change my diet and exercise habits for 2009 so that I can hopefully prevent some past health issues from recurring. My son needs me around.
We would all love to eat healthier. This should show us how.
Returning from Iraq and leaving the military, I started a desk job within a year I packed on the pounds. I realized within a year of getting out it is time to stop slacking and get back on track and these are helpfull tools along with steps I am already taking. Plus it helps to change out a video game now and then.
Since being a stay at home mother for the past 14 years I have let my health go down the drain. I am 30 pounds over weight and now am taking blood pressure medicine. I want to be healthy and live a long and healthy life for my children and grandchildren.
My doctor told me what I already knew. He told me I needed to watch what I was eating and begin exercising regular in order to lower my cholesterol or I would be going on medication and be headed down a LONG path. I would love this contest.
Thanks the chance!

I am diabetic and badly need help with both my diet and exercise so I can live long enough to enjoy my children and grandchildren!
I would like to get back in the habit of walking daily. I’ve gained a few pounds and use the excuse of cold weather to stay in with books and snacks!

I have tring to loose the same 10 lbs for years. Maybe this will help.
I would love to win because since I have been married, I have gotten a bit out of shape and don’t want to continue down that road!
I am having some trouble losing the rest of my pregnancy weight so this could help me.
this is great! this would be a a great way to stay in shape! thanks
I feel like with the way I eat, I’m on a quick path to type 2 diabetes. I really need to get motivated to change.
I have had cancer and I want to do my best to avoid its recurrence.
