Are you a first responder who knows you have some fat to burn?  Can you think of a couple friends who are also military, police, fire, or EMT who have some excess baggage as well?  The Progenex 911 Fitness Challenge is your kick in the pants to finally shed those unwanted pounds.  If the allure of a better body and fitter you just isn’t enough, how about this: $5,000 in cold, hard cash. And to top it off, it’s for a great cause.  Outside of a couple $5,000 prizes (one with your name on it), proceeds go to Shriners Hospitals for Children.  Yes, not only can you change your life, like last year’s winners (pictured), but you can also change the life of a child along the way.  So what do you say, will you take that New Year’s Resolution to the next level?
