Welcome to the Healthy Family Challenge 2012!
The pressure is on. The stakes are high. The world is watching. Which of these families will win our Healthy Family Challenge 2012? And what can they teach you about getting fit?

You have the power to get your family off the couch and into their sneakers. You also have what it takes to help them not just eat healthier–but actually enjoy doing so. Sound impossible? It’s within reach if you follow our Healthy Family Challenge. For the next six months, we’ll inspire two broods to battle their biggest obstacles to eating better, exercising and more. By detailing their every get-healthy move, we’ll show your clan how to do the same. Oh, and did we mention the monthly prize giveaways? In the coming days, check back here to meet our two families and the experts who are about to whip them—and you—into better shape!
