Les Mills and Nestle promotion

This post is mostly directed to those VFers outside the US...

http://www.croquonslavie.fr/Actu_Mar...LE-Fitness.htm

Nestle fitness is running a Les Mills promotion. Two 20 mins. Les Mills workouts - a bodyjam and a bodycombat- are included in selected boxes of Nestle's cereals (General Mills). I bought two boxes of the cereal just to get the DVDs.

I found the two and they are honestly: awesome!!! too bad for the translation to Spanish which is not very good as I hate it when the words do not match up the lips.

I know this promotion is being run in Latin America (where I am now) and for what I was able to find out, in some European countries: Italy, France, Netherlands. Could not find if the promotion would be run in the US though..

Some blurbs:

they're in English here - Middle East :-)

These come with Nestle Fitness cereal - the workouts are in VCD format, in English albeit Australian English ;-)

I got both workouts - BodyCombat and BodyJam. They are great add ons! I love the BodyCombat routine - 4 tracks in total so 4 different combos. I am not into Hip Hop so can't appreciate the BodyJam workout but I must say the music on this is great!

Hope these turn up in your part of the world!

Darn! Why don't they put this stuff in U.S. cereal boxes? I would buy the cereal in a heartbeat.

Not to Austrlians - it's New Zealand English. It's a bit like us not being able to tell an American accent from a Canadian one, but to us, a NZ accent is quite stikingly different!

Thanks for the tip - I'll be looking for them!

Check out my first link...Those boxes featured are the ones. I do not eat cereal and my family gave me an odd look when I offered it to them... Oh well, I will give them away I guess..

The accent in the Spanish version is a bit of a turn off though.....the instructors seem to be overly enthusiastic Argentinians - not that I have anything against Argentinians is just that they speak *differently* and use words we don't.

Thank you for saving a nation from becoming outraged, Helen.

So does this offer also come in selected boxes of Nestle's Fush and Chups?

The accent thing reminds me that Les Mills comes from New Zealand.
