Shaping Up for Spring Blog hop! 4/11-4/25!

We are a few weeks into Spring and as the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, it's time to shape up!  What better way to make the act of exercising more enjoyable than giveaways!?  The Blogging Mamas Network is hosting the Shaping Up for Spring Hop from April 11th through the 25th to motivate you to get active and healthy!
Be sure to hop around to all of the participating bloggers, in the linky below my giveaway, as they have some great prizes to share with you!  Don't forget the GRAND PRIZE which includes, a 3 meal box from Hello Fresh, Aurorae Yoga Apparel and Yoga Mat, a Accessory Pouch and Hair Bands from Active Accessories, and the best way to get your greens from NewGreens Organic!

It is that time of year again, to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors--and put those running shoes back on! But, while not all of you can get outdoors to enjoy it and get in some much needed exercise, here is a great opportunity for you to enter to win something which you can use to bring the fitness home to you! Exercise on your time, in the comfort of your own home! How cool is that?!

I am self-sponsoring this giveaway because this is a product I would love to own, and want feedback from the winner! I have up for grabs a Wii Zumba Fitness game! This includes the belt (I believe it is 52" long) for hands free Zumba action! This is the hot new way to lose those extra inches and pounds! Take the class home with you and get your Zumba on! You can purchase extra belts separately for multiple users and have your very own Zumba party! Everywhere I look this game gets high ratings and rave reviews for the amount of sweat you get out of it.

Get ready to dance your way to those skinny jeans!

This giveaway runs from April 11th through April 25th and this one is only open to US!

Good Luck!

Also up for grabs is a $25 store credit to Mama's Emporium!! I love this online store, it is dedicated to mommies, babies and everything in between! They've got everything you need to cloth diaper your baby from the diapers themselves, to the cloth diaper safe detergent and cloth diaper "safe" diaper rash creams.
