Fitness Advice, Workout Tips, and Inspiration

Join Me & Signup For The “President’s Challenge”!

Last week I got to meet President Obama’s long time trainer, Cornell McClellan in NYC when I was there for NBC Universal’s “Healthy Week”. He is a member of the President’s Council Fitness Sports and Nutrition and he told me about how he is helping the First Lady with her “Let’s Move” campaign and the “President’s Challenge”. The “Let’s Move” program was setup to help kids and parents stay healthy and the Let’s Move website has a ton of great resources and tips for healthy eating, working out and how kids can stay active.


The “President’s Challenge”


The “President’s Challenge” is a 6-week program where President Obama wants you to challenge yourself and set active lifestyle goals. Along the way, you can log your progress and earn cool awards! The program is not just for kids…they have a program for adults too! All you have to do is log 30 minutes of activity at least 5 days a week for 6 of the 8 weeks you are on the program. I encourage all of you to join this challenge and if you are a teacher or community leader, get your peers and students involved and join as a GROUP! Make it fun!

Join me and Signup Today!! Even the First Lady is doing it…
“To show everyone just how much fun it can be, I will be working to earn my Active Lifestyle Award.  I’m going to do it. And I want kids across the country to join me.” – First Lady Michelle Obama


How to Sign Up:

Physical activity is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Adding more activity to your daily life can be easy and fun – and now you can earn an award for being active. To earn your Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA), all you need to do is document your active exercise each day (60 minutes/day for children and 30 minutes/day for adults), 5 days a week, for six weeks. Let's Move
Join the President’s Active Lifestyle Program, here’s how:

1. Make the commitment  (this can be a family or team effort)
2. Sign up online, print the activity log PDF or start a group
3. Log your activity
4. Earn your award

With over 100 activities to choose from, there’s something for everyone! Record your activities and track your progress for 60 minutes a day/ 5 days a week for youths under the age of 18 or 60 minutes a day for adults. You can even compare your progress with others who are taking the President’s Challenge.

The President’s Challenge not only helps you stay active – it also gives you a little extra motivation while you’re at it. That’s because you can earn special Presidential awards recognizing your accomplishments.

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
