Cardio, for many, is the most daunting part of your workout routine. But let’s face it: cardio is fundamental for our health. It boosts our metabolism, burns fat and improves endurance. And that’s why dancing is probably the most fun and effective way to sneak some cardio into your workout routine. The new workout DVD Dancing with the Stars: Cardio Dance for Weight Loss does exactly that. Featuring DWTS dancing pros Mark Ballas and Kym Johnson, this do-at-home DVD includes three fast-paced dancing routines that will make you sweat, while brushing up your dancing skills. Through the samba, salsa and swing segments, more than your feet will be moving fast: your legs and core will also get a good and effective workout. So forget the monotonous treadmill – try salsa instead! If you want to move your body and learn some steps that will impress your friends, Blisstree has the perfect treat for you: Five lucky readers will win a copy of Dancing with the Stars: Cardio Dance for Weight Loss.

The benefits of running are countless, but you should always make sure to use appropriate gear in order to avoid injuries and maximize those benefits. To help with that quest, Adidas has created a lightweight shoe that helps athletes stay faster. Combining a super light shoe with maximum cushioning and support, the adizero Rush features adiPrene+ midsole technology for resilient cushioning in the forefoot that ensures a responsive ride. The shoe’s SprintWeb provides lightweight support while the unique nylon mesh construction is breathable and keeps the foot locked in place for stability and speed. Each pair of adizero Rush also comes with a second lace to provide an unexpected pop of color, while the shoe’s (surprisingly light) weight is clearly displayed along the trim. Blisstree has a special treat for all runners: one lucky reader will win one pair of adizero Rush shoes, one ClimaSpeed Jacket and one ClimaSpeed Three-Quarter Tight. This great fitness set is worth over $200. More

No matter what diet you follow, the hardest thing about keeping it healthy is finding foods that aren’t filled with artificial ingredients and preservatives. In an ideal world, we would all be able to grow our own vegetables and hunt our meat, keeping our bodies safe from added hormones, preservatives and colorants. However that would be almost impossible to achieve in today’s modern world. That’ why Native American Natural Foods has created a line of natural and delicious foods that follow this vision: to imagine a world filled with healthy foods that add to the restoration and preservation of our lands and ecosystem — a world without the pain of starvation or obesity. The world they imagine embraces the lifestyle that Native American people lived just over a century ago. We have partnered with Native American Natural Foods to bring our Blisstree readers some healthy and nutritious snacks: One lucky reader will win a Tanka Gift Pack, worth over $100. More

Yoga helps you to connect body and mind, relax, stay fit and even detox your internal organs. But finding the right practice can be stressful, which ultimately defeats the purpose of yoga after all. With so many options out there (Ashtanga, Hatha, Kundalini, Birkram, and 2011’s trend: Naked Yoga), picking the right type for your body and needs can take forever, and choosing the wrong place or teacher can literally destroy your love for yoga (and deplete your bank account). That’s why Passport to Prana (prana means “vital life” in Sanskrit) came up with this great idea: to promote the practices of yoga as a likeminded community. Passport to Prana is your ticket to some of the best yoga classes in your city, by entitling you to one yoga class at each participating yoga studio, which have all been hand-picked to meet the highest standards. This is the best way to try different yoga styles and expand your yoga horizons. What’s more, Blisstree has teamed up with Passport to Prana and has a great treat for the yoga lovers: 9 lucky readers from the US and 3 lucky readers from Canada will have the chance to win one Passport to Prana card.

Beauty and balance are two things that don’t usually come together these days. With all the stress, chemicals and twisted body image standards that we’re exposed to, it’s not easy to go back to nature and celebrate well-being as part of beauty. In Indonesia, beauty is believed to not only come from the outside but also from a peaceful and balanced mind. Inspired by this philosophy, Juara Skincare has created beauty products that utilize active botanicals like tamarind, turmeric, candlenut oil, healing teas and red sandalwood. These products combine time-honored recipes for skin health and well-being with the best in modern technology and innovation to deliver efficacious and elegant treatments of the highest quality. Blisstree has the perfect treat for you: two lucky readers will each win a $100 gift certificate card from Juara. Read on to find out how to enter to win. More

Don’t you miss the days when the holidays were full of surprises? The holiday season is a time of joy and happiness, but it can be a stressful time when it comes to choosing and buying presents for your loved ones, and although some people are crafty enough to make their own presents, others don’t have the time or the skills to make this happen. In order to avoid holiday shopping stress and bring back the playful spirit of this season, American Express has launched ‘The Gift Chain’, an innovative new program that presents a surprise gift to cardmembers each time they shop at participating online retailers and spend $25 or more. The Gift Chain consists of hundreds of thousands of gifts, ranging from $500 American Express Gift Cards to one-year ShopRunner memberships to $5 statement credits, and more. Some of the nation’s most popular online retailers are participating in The Gift Chain,including Nike, Bed Bath & Beyond and Dell. Plus, some gifts are shareable with three Facebook friends, enabling cardmembers to spread the joy this holiday season. As a way of celebrating this project, Blisstree has teamed up with American Express to offer three lucky readers each an AMEX gift card for $100! More
