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.
