Help Get Your School Fit and Win $25,000!

Get Kids Fit!Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

I wanted to share this great contest by Henkel, who makes many great products such as Dial, Right Guard, Purex and more! They have teamed up with Joy Bauer (the Today Show’s Nutrition Expert) to create a contest to help fight childhood obesity.

Leading a fit and healthy lifestyle should begin at a young age. If we teach our kids that being fit and active can be fun and that “healthy” foods can taste great – they are less likely to become obese and develop weight-related illnesses such as diabetes. Support Henkel’s project to help schools across the US become more fit! Tell them how your school could use $25,000 to become more fit. Maybe workoutÂ equipment, a new outdoor track or more healthy snacks? Get creative! Get your community involved and ask teachers what improvements they would like to make to help get kids fit!Â

How the contest works:

Step #1 Nominate your school, your child’s school or a school in your community that could use $25,000 to help make the school more fit! The deadline is Sunday September 16th – so don’t wait!!
Step #2 If Henkel likes what you have to say, they will ask you to submit a short video (they provide a free video cameraÂ to the 5 finalist!)
Step #3 The public will vote and one winner willÂ receiveÂ $25,000! Also, some lucky nominees will wine an awesome prize pack featured above!Â

**Cari-Fit Giveaway!**

I will be doing a contest next week and giving away one of these amazing prize packs for one lucky subscriber! It includes all the cool products in the picture above, including a Fitbit Ultra Tracker and a $250 giftcard from Sports Authority! I’ll post my contest details soon – so make sure to subscribe to my blog!Â

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.
