The Citizen Journalist Program Announcement

We had so many great applicants for the Citizen Journalist Program...who knew the decision would be this hard?! Please meet the 5 panelists chosen for our program and follow along as they test out and review the Nintendo Wii Fit Plus!

Be sure to add your own reviews and opinions of the Wii Fit Plus as well...we want to hear what everyone has to say!!

I am a super busy Mommy of 4 kids under 8, and do not have time to go to the gym. I get my bursts of energy late at night after the kids go to bed and that is when I feel like I could do a great workout...however
jogging, or going to the gym at midnight isn't very safe! lol

I feel that I would be able to offer a lot to the Citizen Journalist program
and to the WiiMommies community. I will offer a real and honest opinion
of the product, and hopefully fantabulous weight loss results! I would
LOVE the opportunity to try the Wii/Wiifit products to get my hot
Pre-Mommy body back and inspire other Moms like Julie has inspired me
and thousansds of others!!
Thank You for this opportunity!


What I would bring to the Citizen Journalist Program is an authentic, open minded and articulate voice for the Wii Mommies Nintendo Wii Fit Plus Program.

I honestly feel as though I am the last Mom on the planet to engage in the Nintendo Wii culture. I just returned home from my first Blogging conference {Mom 2.0 Summit} and was amazed by the atmosphere. I was able to visit the Wii Fit Plus Yoga room, but I felt intimidated & overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge compared to the
other Moms. Even though the Moms were wonderfully accepting!

However, I am perfect for your program in many ways!

I'm in the dark about your product
I'm not afraid to share with folks my own experiences {while explaining to them why they should try it out for
themselves}
I have a strong national speaking presence this spring & would be able to bring real life stories to the audiences as well as provide an ambassador status to many who may feel the same way I do
{I'm a Certified Professional Organizer: Helping folks clear the clutter
from their Homes, Offices, Lives & Minds}
I know when to be quiet & listen to folks so their voice is heard too!

Most importantly, one thing I find myself advocating for many of my clients
{especially the Moms} is self care. So naturally, I'm curious how that
message is encouraged by a gaming console such as the Nintendo Wii and I
feel it would be a natural fit to answer those questions from such an
honest place within myself.

Finally, an additional "perk" in my packaging is the opportunity to see the reaction of my 2 children {boys
aged 11 & 15} as well as my husband who are all 3 huge fans of the
X-Box. If your product provides the opportunity for us to create family
time {even with a teenager} that is something I would be singing from
any mountain top you put me on!

Hopefully you've gathered my optimistic personality as well as a taste of my humorous side. And as a
resident of Leavenworth, WA I also look forward to an opportunity to
work with a WA based company.

Patiently anticipating your correspondence,

april


I could absolutely evaluate this product and give accurate feedback and evaluations; my husband is a recovering heart surgery patient and currently his only
form of cardio or exercise is walking on our treadmill; his cardiologist
would love to see him get more involved.

As a person who suffers from an autoimmune disease, I find it hard to
get out and exercise as the disease affects me with pain due to extreme
temp. changes (currently below 30 here!) - an indoor activity would be
so amazing and I'd love to feel better overall!!



As a full time working mom to a toddler I have NO time in my schedule to get to a gym and work out. Just juggling the schedule is a workout! I've played around on the Wii and the Wii Fit several times at a neighbor's house and really enjoyed it. I have been looking for something to keep not only my 3 year old active, but myself
as well. I'm anxious to see if this kind of activity would be something my husband and I would enjoy doing together, a way for us to connect and get back to fitness at the same time.




-Dear Wii Citizen Journalist Program judges,

I am a single mom with a 2yo child with special medical needs. I don't have ANY time or money to
go to the gym or buy expensive equipment. I need a fun way to exercise
that i can do right her at home. And as a bonus my son can also use the
wii as part of his therapy to improve muscle tone and coordination.

I can be honest & fair about reporting the pros & cons of the wii
(although to be honest, I have only heard good things about it.) I am
not a review blogger just looking for some cool swag, I am a mom who
needs to get back into her pre-pregnancy jeans. {Hello size 4, I hear
you calling my name...I am comng!!!} I tend to use humor to get me
through tough situations and trust me there have been a lot of those
lately.

I look forward to contributing an honest, humorous side to my wii weight loss journey.

Thank you for your consideration,

Janis
