Craig Renovates a Family

As you may or may not know, I am the resident fitness bloke for a national TV show here in Australia called 9AM on the TEN Network. Over the last few weeks viewers have been entering a competition to win… me. Well, not exactly me but a ‘family make-over’ with me, with the idea being that I would help an Australian family get in shape; lose a few pounds, get a bit fitter and change a few nasty habits.

Well, the lucky family (??) turned out to be the Bulte family from Victoria and with six in the clan, including four who need to lose weight, it would seem that I have my work cut out for me. Anyway, they have all been training for two weeks now and they are doing incredibly well. I am so proud of them. Those that need to lose weight are going great – 15.4 kgs (34lbs) weight-loss between the four of them – and everyone is firmly on board the SS Harper. Over the next few weeks I will keep you posted on their progress with regular updates and video grabs from my segments.

You can see the initial TV meeting with two of the clan here. If you happen to be in Oz and you happen to be near a TV tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10.40am (ish), take a peek at Channel Ten and you can check up on their progress live.

See you tomorrow Groovers.

Ciao.
