In conjunction with the National Body Challenge, Mrs. Hoeven will launch the North Dakota Body Challenge by following the progress of a volunteer participant as she works to reach her personal health and fitness goals.
“The National Body Challenge is a personal call to action for North Dakota residents,” said Mrs. Hoeven. “Our goal is to educate individuals and families about how to lose weight and create a balanced lifestyle that focuses on weight-loss, reduced stress and the myriad of factors that contribute to overall good health.”
Interested participants can register for the National Body Challenge at health.discovery.com anytime during the eight weeks.
Those who register for the Challenge will receive the following tools and resources:

As part of the Challenge, Discovery Health Channel will premier the NATIONAL BODY CHALLENGE television special on January 15 and 16 from 8-10 PM(ET/PT). The two-part special is designed to inspire participants to reach their personal health goals by following the physical and emotional journeys of four families as they work together to achieve their weight loss goals and lead a healthy lifestyle.
