The purpose of the challenge is to take kids who are overweight and teach them the power of great eating habits and healthy exercise. According to research, kids who practice healthy behaviors while they are young are more apt to practice those same behaviors when they are older.

Product Features
From the first moments on the official Shaq Big Family Challenge website, the user can see this is a kids realm. This is immediately taken away when the cost of the website is revealed. Yes, Shaquille OíNeal is a major basketball star, but that does not give him the medical authority or education to teach kids how to lose weight. At the price of $104 a year, it seems that the entire website is more about finding a way to make a dollar than teaching kids how to lose weight.
There is very little information about the actual plan on the main page of the website. The user will need to register to have access to the selling points of the Shaq Big Family Challenge. There are pictures posted all over the website from the challenge that was aired on ABC ( a major television station), but there are no before and after photos of the kids involved and there are no fact sheets to offer the weight loss totals or changes of the participants.
Spending money on tools that are only accessible online seems like a contradiction of the purpose of the plan. Computer usage levels are through the roof in the childhood age bracket that this website gears the tools toward. This lack of movement is what causes some of the childhood obesity.
Advantages
- There is information on the program online.
- The official website is clearly professional.
Disadvantages
- The cost of the access to the Shaw Big Family Challenge tools is a bit high for kids.
- There is no information about weight loss on the main page of the site.
- There is no information on the successes or failures of the TV contestants.
- The star seems to be using his name to make money off of childhood obesity.
Conclusion
Shaquille OíNeal is clearly a great athlete, but charging $104 a year for access to a weight loss website is not the best move he has ever made. This website is nothing more than a collection of tools and recipes created by some third party with Shaqís name a few quotes. We are disappointed in the website as a whole.
