Spring time means it is time to get in shape.
In just a few short months we will be hanging out at the swimming pool in swimsuits enjoying the rays.
And the Midwest Dairy Council would love to help you jumpstart your routine.
- Did you know that milk has nine essential nutrients that play an important role in fueling an active lifestyle?
- Or that chocolate milk is nature’s sports drink? Research published by the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism on young adults showed that chocolate milk is twice as effective as commercial sports drinks to refuel exhausted muscles. (SWEET.)
- And that whey protein packs can give you energy? Whey protein is a high-quality protein found naturally in dairy foods. It helps you get the most out of your workout by speeding muscle recovery after exercise and helping build and maintain lean muscle. And it is great in smoothies like this Peanut Butter and Banana Breakfast Shake.
To give your fitness routine a jump-start, the Midwest Dairy Council is giving away one fitness pack that includes a $15 iTunes gift card, Cuisinart hand blender, thermal lunch bag, and Dairy Makes Sense wicking gear (A $100 value) to a lucky Kansas City Mamas reader.
Here’s How To Enter The Giveaway
(Remember, each comment is considered a entry – so leave a separate comment each time.)

Additional entry: Become a email subscriber to Kansas City Mamas. (I promise, I won’t spam you.) And then leave a comment and let me know.
Additional entry: Become in Like with Kansas City Mamas on Facebook. (We have fun, I promise.) And then leave a comment and let me know.
Contest will be open till end of day on April 25, 2012. Winner will be notified by email and has 48-hours to respond before another winner is chosen. Good Luck.
Disclosure: The Midwest Dairy Council provide Kansas City Mamas with the exact same prize pack and the giveaway prize, but I was not compensated in any other way. The written remarks are entirely my own. Want more information – check out my full disclosure statement.

I love to work out with my boyfriend. We have recently challenged ourselves to go to the gym three days a week and have been successful for a month now. He lifts weights and I either bike or walk on the treadmill. I’m very proud of us getting out of our sedentary life-styles.
Chelsie D says
My favorite way to workout is to do a kick-boxing or zumba class. If I can’t make it to either of those, I grab the kids and some sports equipment & head to the backyard. What better way to wind down my day before cooking dinner for the family. Just yesterday, my son & I tossed a baseball around and then he helped me snap fresh green beans for dinner.
Love this giveaway & I love to read each of your posts! Thanks for all you do!
