Work Out with McDonald’s Yourself!Fitness

By Digital Trends Staff April 18, 2006

McDonald’s and responDESIGN, the software publisher of the fitness video game Yourself!Fitness, today said they were entering a promotional partnership under which special DVD versions of the game will be made available through the fast food company for a limited time. Four different workout DVDs will be released during the April 25 to May 22 promotion period.

Four exclusive Yourself!Fitness DVDs, said the two companies, will be made available at McDonald’s through the introduction of the new Go Active! Happy Meal for Adults. The DVDs, which are available in both English and Spanish and can have their workout levels customized by difficulty, will feature Maya, the Yourself!Fitness virtual personal trainer, and offer fifteen-minute workouts. Each will focus on a specific program: Yoga, for relaxation and rejuvenation; Cardio, for burning calories and boosting metabolism; Core, for strengthening the abs and spine; and Strength, for toning and tightening.

The new Happy Meal for Adults will pair any Premium Salad, Dasani water, or medium or larger drink with one of the four Yourself!Fitness workout DVDs. Customers will also receive a five-dollar coupon towards the complete Yourself!Fitness program.

“It is our hope that customers collect all four DVDs to benefit from a complete workout program,” said Bill Lamar, Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald’s USA, in a statement. â€œMcDonald’s believes that the partnership with responDESIGN is in direct alignment with our commitment to encouraging food-energy balance that began with the introduction of our first Go Active! Happy Meal for Adults in 2003.â€

tempo studio review 2 of 5

Ask anyone about home gym equipment, and they will immediately mention old standards like the treadmill, stationary bike, or dumbbells. That was then, and this is now. Now, fitness fanatics can choose a smart fitness mirror that blends seamlessly into any décor and offers interactive training programs for all levels of athletes.

Fitness mirrors run the gamut from stand-alone mirrors that require you to bring your own weights to complete systems that ship with the weights built right into the package. Not only do they double as great mirrors for you to admire yourself through your progress, but they're useful in ensuring that proper form is taken with all workouts because you can see yourself. We've tested a handful of smart mirrors in our home gym journey and have selected our top five.

Best Prime Day fitness deals 2021: What to expect

walmart drops discount on nordictrack c500 treadmill

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that fitness has to take place where you are, and a home gym -- or just a workout device like those found in these Prime Day deals -- can take the place of an entire gym. For Amazon's Prime Day 2021 date, which is set on June 21 and June 22, there will be a number of opportunities to save big on the best fitness equipment. Interested in getting in even better shape this year? Read on to discover what you can expect once Prime Day 2021 launches next week.
What Prime Day fitness deals to expect
The fitness category is an absolutely huge one on Amazon, and we expect its Prime Day deals to reflect this wide range. There are going to be discounts on every level, from the sneakers you use for running, jumping rope, or crosstraining to all-in-one machines, exercise bikes, fitness trackers, and so much more.

During this year’s Prime Day fitness sales, you can definitely anticipate discounts on some of the biggest and best-known brands, like NordicTrack and Bowflex for equipment, Apple and Samsung for smartwatches, Fitbit for fitness trackers, and Under Armour for apparel. On top of this, you’ll find discounts on lesser-known, more affordable brands as well as everything you’ll need to outfit a home gym: Weights, mats, kettlebells -- you name it.
What Prime Day fitness deals we saw last year
Last year, we saw wide-ranging discounts on all sorts of fitness gear in the Prime Day fitness deals. There wasn’t really a pattern or theme like you might expect with other gear like iPads or robot vacuums; these discounts were all over the place.
