The current contest kicked off in June when participants attended a “Fit Camp” in San Antonio. During Fit Camp, professionals from The Cooper Institute and H-E-B offered education to the contestants on proper nutrition, physical activity and weight management. Now, the contestants are applying what they’ve learned to their everyday life. The person whose health has improved the most by October will win $10,000.
