Dear Carmel Residents and Employees,

Welcome to the 2010 “Make It Fit Now” wellness challenge. You are here because you want to make a change, and you are in the right place! With the rate of obesity growing each year, a personal commitment to a healthy lifestyle is more important today than ever before.

The “Make It Fit Now” wellness challenge is a program designed to help you build a healthy lifestyle – from eating right to exercising to developing a multitude of healthy habits. Whether you live or work in Carmel, our goal is to help you find ways to make healthy choices fit into your life each and every day.

The Make It Fit Now wellness challenge is just that – a challenge. It’s an opportunity to challenge yourself to get fit and stay healthy, and at the same time, it’s our chance for friendly competition with the City of Westfield to see which can become the "Most Fit City." I encourage you to participate and invite others to join you as we all work together in building healthy lifestyles and healthy communities.

Best of luck!

Mayor James C. Brainard

City of Carmel
