BodyWorks is an obesity prevention toolkit designed to help parents and caregivers of young adolescent girls (ages 9-13) improve family eating and activity habits. The program focuses on parents as role models and provides them with hands-on tools to make small, specific behavior changes to help maintain healthy weight and prevent obesity.

BodyWorks provides a BodyWorks Update Newsletter to partners.  The newsletter includes updates on funding opportunities, free material offers and updates on tools for current BodyWorks trainers.
