Special Announcement:  Moms' Boot Camp Challenge 

We've been promising you details about our very first Moms' Boot Camp Challenge and we are finally ready to begin. This is a perfect time to make a commitment to your health and fitness. If you have let your fitness goals fall by the wayside or if you've given up on your New Year's resolutions, now is the time to get back on track. Read on or click here to find out how you can take part. Our moms will blog each week about their experience and success. I've decided to jump in and challenge myself to meet my own fitness goals. You can begin reading my weekly blog, Just Say No to Muffin Tops ,right here .

Get fit in 2008 with JaxParent.com! Along with our fitness supporters, JaxParent.com wants to support moms in getting into shape and taking care of themselves. If you want to be matched up with one of our participating fitness programs, it's simple to enter!

Here is what is expected of our mom participants:

• A commitment to completing the entire 6 week program.
• Keeping a blog on JaxParent.com and post at least once each week. Include things about your fitness program, challenges, eating, family activities that are keeping you active, things you can do at home when you can't make it to your program, etc.
• A commitment to healthier eating during this challenge. Examples can be shared on the blog.
• Doing a final overview of what you gained (or lost) from doing the program.
• Participants need to be willing to be photographed.
• Most of the programs do not offer child care (with the exception of the stroller classes). Moms must have their child care arranged prior to the program starting.

Thank you to all of our fitness supporters who have so generously donated fitness programs!
