It’s time for those New Year’s Resolutions… Get Fit Fast with SELF Fitness DVDs

It is time. I have to put down the chocolates, wipe my mind of the memory of pumpkin pie smothered in whip cream, and get this belly bulge under control.

My husband always makes time to get to the gym. But my son asked me months ago, “Mom – how come you never go to yoga anymore?” (It has been about two years since I got to a class.)

But life as a work at home mom just doesn’t seem to include time to go to the gym. I am constantly behind in everything – especially the sleep department – and so packing up the kids and heading to the gym just isn’t an option for me right now.

So, this New Year I am thrilled to find SELF magazine’s fitness DVDs. 2 new DVDS are in stores now – Trim and Tone Fast *and* Ultimate De-Stress Yoga.

Created with the fitness experts at SELF, these videos are designed to trim, tone and reshape your body – fast!
With fun and energizing moves, achieve the body you’ve always wanted. SELF: Trim & Tone Fast and SELF: Ultimate De-Stress Yoga. Visit their site for more info.

I can fit in a work out without leaving my house. As a busy mom, that is what I need!

If you want to get fit at home with SELF, leave a comment here to enter our giveaway. Five of you will receive a fitness DVD pack. Each pack includes the SELF: Trim & Tone Fast DVD and the SELF: Ultimate De-Stress Yoga.

We will announce the winners Thursday, January 31st. (This contest is open only to US mailing addresses.)

  1. I would LOVE these DVD’S!! I am a busy mom of two little ones and can’t afford to go to a gym! I would love to get some DVD’s so that I can work out at home (and maybe de-stress a little).

  3. Hey Mom,

    I noticed you don’t have anything about fitness equipment for moms. If there is anything I can help, write a guest post about treadmills and ellipticals, make a few reccomendations, I would love to. Just turned my girlfriend to your site, she’s probably going to be the mom of my kids soon. She could use a jump start on things!

  99. I just lost my job and now’s not the best time to be paying gym memberships, so these DVDs would really come in handy. Thanks for the contest!

  100. I just got a desk job and have put on a few pounds because of it. This would be great to do at home when I get off of work to keep off more pounds and maybe loose the ones I’ve already gained.

    Reply

  117. I’m having the same problem – something about two months ago that seemed to make it extra hard to get out the door to the gym. 🙂

    Thanks for entering me!

  123. I was hit by a drunk driver a few years ago and haven’t been in god physical shape ever since. This could really help me!

  191. If i win, I’ll give this to my daughter. It is hard for a young mom to find time to exercise and besides these look like fun.I think she will enjoy them.

  289. I am a full time working mom with a very active and busy 4 year old to manage. My husband works 12+ hours a day and most of the time he works 6 days a week and even 7 if they need him (he is a lead so he has to be there). With my work schedule, his work schedule and my daughters extra-cirricular activies of soccer, dance and karate I don’t get a chance to get to the gym. She is fit and trim but I can’t seem to fit me into the schedule anywhere it seems! If I can really get a work out in without having to leave the house to do it this might just be my god send! I could seriously use the De-Stress Yoga (not to mention some…ok a lot of toning and trimming). I can’t stress enough how much I hope I win this one!

  305. I am in a wedding in August….so this will definitely help add something new to my workout routines. Gotta fit that dress!

    Reply

  336. I would LOVE to have something like this for home. I have a gym membership, but with three kids…..it’s so hard to make it there when I want to.

    Reply

  350. Wow! Judging by the number of comments, I think you might have struck a small cord with this giveaway!

    I know what you mean about finding time. Living thirty minutes from the gym means I have to be away for TWO whole hours. As silly as it seems, this can mess up my whole schedule (as if that doesn’t happen enough already). I ALMOST joined a gym anyway, but I figured the money would be better spent else where. Besides, if I work out twice a day for half the time I would have been away at the gym, I’ll reach my goals in a snap!

    Oh – but the addition of those workouts wouldn’t hurt things ;).

    Reply

  362. I definitely need these. I need to loose about 20 pounds and they are not coming off very easily. Good luck to everyone!

    Reply

  365. I really need this so bad. Oh Janice how exciting! I’ve been doing so great watching what I am eating but I haven’t been able to fit in an exercise regimin yet. Oh, hope I win this.

    Reply

  380. Oh yea this is def what I need four kids and no time and money for the gym. NAp time could be work out time!!!

  393. I would love to have these DVDs. I am like all others a SAHM of 2 boys but without a car too.(T, 20 months, P.,7 months) I have a hassle on my hands just to get to doctors appts. I recently started a low cal diet and I am doing well but I also need to tone. In a bad way. I am only 25 and I can’t remember what I looked like before I got married. That’s sad. I only hope my husband can’t remember either.

  536. This would so come in handy. We have decided to stop our gym membership because of this very reason. I am in the process of looking for something to get my booty back in shape…and this would be perfect!

    Reply

  540. When I can’t go to my yoga class for one reason or another, I TRY to do a workout on my own, but I need guidance! I can never remember any exercise routine on my own. (This is an extra reason why I need instructors!) The dvd sounds great!

    Reply

  542. I took a look at these DVD’s and they look great. Right now we have a workout channel on our cable system and I love it! However, we will be giving it up next month. We are trying to cut back on costs to be able to afford for my husband and I to return to school part time. With two little boys trying to fit in a workout can be a challange. It will get even more difficult as we return to school this summer.

    Reply

  546. This is a great giveaway! As a busy mom of 3 it is very tough to find time to get to the gym, and with these videos I could easily fit in a work-out while my toddlers nap!

  606. I don’t have these in my collection. Exercise DVDs are the only way I stay fit these days. I’m reviewing a few 20 minute ones on my blog. Self magazine has good fitness tips and articles.

  616. Of course I could use this for the new year. With a toddler underfoot and baby on the way I find it hard to get to the gym.

  624. Most definately needed here – we just moved and there isn’t childcare offered at the local gym. I miss my me time to workout terribly and my pants are starting to miss me!

    Reply

  631. This is something that I could do. I could also do this with the kids playing around me or doing some of the moves along side of me. We could make it family workout or de-stress time. Sign me up!
