As we approach the colder months of the year here at Joystiq HQ, we like to fool ourselves by picking up the latest Wiinovations in the world of game-based exercise equipment, knowing wholeheartedly that they'll never end up getting much use. This year, however, we figured we would extend that same ideological principle to you. We hope that your moral certitude will employ
Wii Fit Plus and
Active Life Extreme Challenge (it's
totally extreme) more than we would! We'll be picking a winner for this enticing exercise pack at random from the folks who comment below -- all you have to do is tell us your favorite exercise fad of all time. Get those finger muscles moving!
- Leave a comment telling us your favorite exercise fad of all time.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec, largely due to Celine Dion)
- Limit 1 entry per person per day
- This entry period ends at 2:31PM ET on Monday, November 2
- At that time, we'll randomly select one winner to receive a copy of Wii Fit Plus ($20 ARV) and Active Life Extreme Challenge ($60 ARV)

P90X because it's EXTREME. You know it's extreme because it has an X and a number in it.
