Shaq's Big Challenge: Episode Five
Shaq's Big Challenge: Episode Five
Shaq's Big Challenge continues to keep my attention, five episodes in and I can't wait for next week's season finale!
Last night the kids were looking good. I am officially loving Chris, the eleven year old that has lost 40 pounds so far -- His spirit is really uplifting and that much weight loss is pretty substantial for such a little guy! All the kids continue to amaze me with their support for others as they invited friends to participate in the program and a lot of kids showed up. One mother mentioned that this 'after school program' is a fabulous idea since her overweight son does not use gym class to exercise due to being embarrassed. However, in an after school program for overweight kids, much like what Shaq was promoting, he feels like he fits in and actually enjoys working out with other kids who have the same goals in mind. What a great idea! Other communities should put together similar programs to encourage exercise for overweight kids.
Another interesting part of the show was the Shaquille O'Neal's Wellness Wheel, which is a comprehensive program where kids learn about how to cook healthy meals (home economics), how the foods affects their bodies (health) and then how to burn if off (gym). I love it! In fact, it kind of reminds me of what we're doing over here at FitSugar! I actually got my hands on a tasty little recipe from the program and I thought it would be great for anyone trying to eat healthy, not just the little ones.
