LiveFIT NH is a New Hampshire Public Television community engagement project designed to encourage healthy eating and physical activity in children and adults. Recognizing the challenge of maintaining healthy habits, the LiveFIT NH project is focused on increasing awareness of, and helping to reduce the incidence of, childhood obesity, which has become an epidemic in the U.S. Health experts say that obesity causes serious health complications, shortens lifespans and strains our health care system.

With its partner organizations statewide, the LiveFIT NH initiative demonstrates-through television segments, educational and outreach activities, and online resources-how individuals, families, schools and communities can combat obesity trends. The initiative includes:

• A multi-part series airing on NH Outlook, NHPTV’s award-winning public affairs program — segments can be viewed online anytime at www.nhptv.org/outlook/live_fit_nh/.
• A "LiveFIT NH Challenge" promoting six actions and activities that are known to improve our health.
• On-air "Fit Tip" health breaks, based on the six LiveFIT NH Challenges.
• Family Health Nights with fun activities, resources and theme-related children’s books; also, workshops on nutrition, exercise, and healthy family lifestyles for parents, educators and caregivers are presented around the state by NHPTV's Ready To Learn staff (part of NHPTV’s Knowledge Network - Educational Services Division).
• A website that offers information about the project, the LiveFIT NH Challenge, links to state and national resources and partner organizations, and a schedule of special events.
