I have been exercising a lot and have seen great results. My muscles are getting stronger. I can tell because I can carrying many heavy items that I couldn't before exercising. My mom, dad, and I have been very grateful to this program and hope that our school, Nobel, will win. Instead of that I see lots of improvement on my dad's weight. He got a little thinner. It is also very fun to go online and help my school. I also eat healthier too.

Hi, I am a teacher at Tamarack Elementary School. I am also a leader with the Boy Scouts. During the school year I am active for at least 30 minutes before, during and after school, and a rarely sit down while I am teaching. This keeps me feeling good. At least one weekend each month I also go camping with the scouts. This past weekend I traveled with them to Death Valley National Park. On all of our hikes I never felt out of breath. I know that this is because I am staying physically active.

Since I started my challenge I've had more energy. I feel great after my workout. I see my daughter as well doing the challenge and gives me more motivation to continue. I am teaching my girls that exercise is important for our health and not just to lose the weight.
