The new one-hour reality, hosted by Laila Ali, brings together 12 students from rival high schools in Decatur, IL, for a life-changing mission to get into shape. Getting fit isn’t the only incentive. The winning school and the winning student that makes a change for the better, both physically and mentally, will take home $25,000 that will be used for new school facilities and programs.
Student Body premieres on The N tonight at 10p and this show is amazing. Student Body is a class everyone needs to watch. 12 teens of all shapes and sizes compete to get the weight off and their lives and self-confidence on.
This show is so well done and touching it had me crying and cheering along with them. Chaz joined the show because his mom was hospitalized because she was morbidly obese and he wanted to learn to be healthy for both of them and teach her how to lose weight. Sadly a week before the show started his mother died from her weight. Chaz is an inspiration to go on with the show and his mom is with him in spirit.
The first thing these 12 teens have to do is climb all the stairs to get the roof of the Sears Tower, the tallest building in America at 103 stories. All 12 of them do it, and the first one did it in less than hour.
Next we see them on the weigh-in on, half of them have their body fat as half their weight. After the weigh in we see these teens being taught to eat properly and learning to exercise.
It is great to watch these teens start to make the change that will continue for the rest of their lives!
So tune in to Student Body tonight on The N at 10p and then on Sundays at 8p!
