National Body Challenge: Twins
Check for more airdates.
In 2008, Discovery Health's National Body Challenge will be seeing double! In a week-long series, four sets of identical — and overweight — twins take on their personal battles of the bulge in the quest for an all-new, healthier way of living.
Guiding the group through the Challenge are experts Dr. Pamela Peeke and Dr. Lydie Hazan, along with a nutritionist and fitness trainers. All of the twins begin the Challenge with a similar problem of being overweight — and the serious health risks that go along with it.
Despite personal challenges that might doom them from the start — one set of twins owns an Italian restaurant! — each of our Body Challengers is determined to succeed. And each will do so with their best friend (and closest competitor), their twin, urging them on.

News events put harsh realities of life in front of us every day. At any time, we could face a crisis, and accident, a natural disaster. We may not think of fitness as a survival factor in these situations. But ask yourself: do you have the basic endurance, strength, and agility to escape a disaster zone? If you had to climb 12 flights of stairs to be rescued from the roof of a burning building … could you do it? Hoist yourself out of a broken elevator … could you do it? Carry an injured co-worker to safety … could you do it?
In a radical new television program, five people will take the test that could save their lives… and take on a whole new approach to fitness. Are you Fit to Live?
