By Macaroni Kid March 16, 2012

Introducing Macaroni Kid's First Annual Search for America's Fittest Family!!! The contest to recognize a family who will inspire us all!

Has your family been taking more walks?  Hikes? Bike-rides?  Swims?  Do you find yourself turning the TV off and opting for outdoor activities?  Have you made it a habit to cook healthy, home-made meals together?  Does your family seek fun new challenges and adventures?  This is the contest for YOU!  Your family could be Macaroni Kid's America's Fittest Family, and win a family trip to The Four Seasons Scottsdale!!!!

Here's the deal:

At Macaroni Kid, we believe that incorporating fitness into your family's routine should be a priority, along with spending time together, laughing, learning, exploring, traveling, taking care of yourself and others, doing good for your community, and...having as much family fun as possible!

Fitness enhances our individual well-being, which enables us to be the best we can be for our families, both inside and out.  Families making fitness a priority benefit from improved health and wellness, increased confidence, and of course, more quality time together.

The feeling of taking on a new challenge and accomplishing a physical goal is truly irreplaceable, and doing so as a team is even more rewarding! If you and your family have made changes, and strides, big or small, towards living an active lifestyle, we want to hear from YOU!  It's our goal to inspire our readers, and each other, to take on new challenges and reap the benefits, both physical and emotional, of family fitness.

So tell us why your family is this year's Fittest Family! To enter, click HERE.  Just fill out the form and email a short video clip or a few photos to familyfitness@macaronikid.com between now and May 10th!

The winning family and two runners-up will be featured in the May edition of Macaroni Kid Family Fitness.  America's Fittest Family will be awarded the Grand Prize trip to The Four Seasons in Scottsdale, Arizona!!  Runner-up families will receive super special fitness swag bags valued at over $100 and the first 100 entrants will receive a fitness-fun bag packed with samples from our sponsors!

We'd like to give a HUGE thank you to our awesome Fittest Family sponsors, each of whom share a deep commitment to health and fitness, and are SO fun to work with!

The Four Seasons Scottsdale encompasses the best combination of family activities and luxury. Located in the beautiful Sonoran Desert, families can enjoy hiking, stargazing, swimming, tennis, golf, fabulous restaurants, local tourist attractions, a "Kids For All Seasons" kids program, and SO much more!

A Macaroni Kid favorite, ZICO Coconut Water, is our go-to hydrator for fuel, replenishment, natural electrolytes, and a low-sugar drink that tastes amazing!  Have you and your kids tried ZICO Chocolate yet?  If you haven't, you're missing out, big time.

Stonyfield Farm Organic Yogurt truly grasps the process of delivering healthy ingredients, from the ground up.  With a wide variety of organic dairy products, Stonyfield aims to deliver nothing but the best ingredients for consumers while protecting the planet too.  That's a big task!  Be sure to be on the lookout for their new yummy YoKids Greek flavors!

Happy Family knows how to make babies and parents very happy...with all organic ingredients and superfoods!  Happy Family offers a variety of products for babies and toddlers, from their first bite of solid food to cereals, puffs, yogurts, and frozen meals for older tots.

Mann Packing is another favorite family-owned business.  Mann Packing makes eating your veggies (and fruit!) easy and fun with their pre-packed, individually wrapped, ready to-go snack packs and stir fry kits for super easy dinner prep!  Check out their kid-friendly, convenient and nutrient-packed recipes!

Macaroni Kid can't get enough Popchips!  We think these low-cal crispy snacks beat potato chips any day.  They're light, but oh so delicious.  10 flavors in all, from Original to Parmesan Garlic, but we especially pop for their new Sweet Potato Popchips!  They're pretty much to-die-for.

Most of all, Thank YOU, readers!  We can't wait to hear about your family's fitness adventures!

Stay fit!

Kiley and the MK team!
