Without my mom help i can never complete this challenge, she walk with me to school which is 0.9 miles from home. and we dance everyday for our cardio, and sometimes we ride our bike around the block.Thank you mom i can never do this with out your help and encouragement. She's my rock...she always remind me how important to have a balance life style. I love her so much.

I was never active before in my life. With this program I got more and more active. I use to not play basketball,soccer,tennis,hockey, and running. Now I play all those sports thanks to this program. My school is active too, like me. I hope we win THE GOVERNORS CHALLENGE. I run with my p.e class. I did not run until I heard about this cool program. I hope our school wins THE GOVERNOR'S CHALLENGE!!!

sooo umm my PE teacher said that there is a web site that would give me extra credit if i logged on so wen i went on i waz thinking to my self that i would just "pretend" to do it, but after i read the other success stories i was thinking "if these older people are getting in great shape then i think i would give it a try and ive gotten stronger and i could run two more miles with out getting tired then before i started and im a 205 lbs. sixteen year old almost all muscle. i feel great and more healthier than i have in a while, and on top of that i got extra credit

i was in a serious mountain bike accident in may tearing muscle and twisting out my knee joints. I lost about 80% use in my right leg and about 60% in my left. stretching and conditioning is slowly restoring both legs, and spending time in the jacuzzi helps too. i'm now up to 45 min on a rowing machine, and with any luck i'll be on a recumbant bike at 24 hour fitness to begin more serious rebuilding and work on my range of motion too. i'm glad the challange was here to help motivate me. at 52, i'm not about to quit.
