America's Healthy Summer: Juju Gets Fit

June 2, 2010— -- For many people, summer is all about getting healthy and getting into shape. "Good Morning America's" news anchor Juju Chang is doing just that, and she's doing it for a good cause.

Today "GMA" launched "Juju Gets Fit," part of a new series "America's Healthy Summer" that will include reports and tips on how to live well and stay fit this summer.

Chang will train for and compete in a sprint triathlon taking place Sept. 11. Led by coach Tom Holland and training partner Lucy Danziger, the editor-in-chief of Self magazine, Chang and her "Tri Team," which includes dozens of ABC News staff members, will spend the next 100 days training for the Housatonic Valley Triathlon, a .25 mile swim, a 10 mile bike ride, and a 5 kilometer run in Danbury, Conn.

"Working out is so not my thing," Chang admitted. "It's been 10 years and three pregnancies since I've been in shape. But I'm here because earlier this year something just clicked in my head."

Chang says when she went to Haiti after the earthquake and met children who'd suffered and lost so much, their faces and smiles became etched into her memory.

After the quake the spotlight soon moved on to other news and other assignments. Chang reported a story on normal weight obesity and faced the task of measuring her own body fat percentage.

Her result: 37 percent -- dangerously high.

"My thought … why not train for a triathlon and set a goal to raise relief funds for the children in Haiti," she said. "It just might work."

In conjunction with the "get fit" efforts,"GMA" is teaming up with Unicef to help change lives in Haiti. Viewers can sign up to join "GMA's" tri team -- or make any other personal health goal -- and friends and family can support their efforts. All proceeds will go to help Haitian children through a Unicef relief fund.
