Look what I got in the mail!
It’s Ugi Time!!
Ugi is a company created by three Canadian moms who wanted a “challenging, effective and sustainable workout that could fit into their busy lifestyles.”
So what is the Ugi philosophy? I’m going to quote their site here:
- It is all about you.
- It is about working out for real life, for health and happiness.
- It’s functional training that helps you operate better and feel better every day.
- It’s health training that helps you benefit from the relationship between good eating and exercise.
- It’s happiness training, that helps you get more joy out of each minute, based on the idea that there are 1,440 minutes in every day, and if you use 30 of them for physical activity, the other 1,410 feel better.
- So Ugi is really about helping you make small choices that add up to big, realistic results.
I was sent the Ugi at Home set, which includes the 8lb Ugi ball, an easy-to-follow workout guide, a five day workout dvd, and a guide to making good food choices, access to the online library and a free Ugi timer iPhone app.
I’m going to be using the Ugi for the next six weeks – a program that involves 30 minutes a day – 30 exercises – 1 piece of equipment.
I’m looking forward to blogging about my experience.
For more information about Ugi -check out their site, on Facebook and Twitter.

Interesting….I’ve never heard of these before. I like that they are taking an old workout concept (medicine ball) and making it more appealing/hip. Let me know how you like working out with it.
I’ll be posting once a week for the next six weeks – look for my first update next Tuesday Laura!!
I have never heard of Ugi before. I am looking for a workout, have been considering running again, a gym membership. I couldn’t make up my mind. Be sure to update us on how its going, I am curious if you like it.

Hey Chantal, I’m going to be posting once a week for the next six weeks to let people know how I’m enjoying it. I can tell you that it’s perfect for me because I prefer to work out at home, and I think that is a huge plus. Look for the first update next Tuesday!
Best of luck with the workout! Glad to hear that you’ll be posting the results.
Thanks so much Stella!
Great! I hope this works for you. I made a commitment to do 30 minutes of exercise for 100 days in a row. And so far I’ve done it! Knowing that it only has to be 30 minutes has helped immensely. I can always find 30 minutes in my day if I really want to.

That’s fantastic Nicole – good for you. I’m trying to put more focus on exercise, since it is desperately needed.

That looks awesome! I wish I could try one out. It would be perfect for me as I do not like gyms/working out in front of people. Looking forward to your updates!
