Jessica Myers from Garmin (the GPS folks) came on to discuss a new Garmin product - the “Forerunner 305″ that combines a watch with a heart rate monitor and a gps device. This amazing watch tracks your every move while you run or play sports. You can see your heart rate and your exact running course. Dr Fitness absolutely loved it.

Doing television is an incredible motivator to lose weight!! They say t.v. adds 10 lbs. I think it’s more like 20 especially with the high definition. So Star Jones reveals today how she lost over 100 pounds. She says it was through good old fashion hard work…diet and exercise. Her old pal Rosie thinks she also had liposuction!!!! Whether it was thru diet, exercise, lipo or a combination, one thing that always stands out in my mind when I hear of such weight loss success…..MOTIVATION…..This was one motivated individual. I talk about this in my book “You Can’t Lose Weight Alone: The Partner Power Weight Loss Program.” You must move your weight loss goal to a top priority. I call it a “Top 3 Non-negotiable Priority.” Outside your family and your job, your weight loss or fitness goal has to get elevated and more importantly…it has to stay on top for MONTHS and MONTHS…not just a month. Remember how big Star Jones used to be. You could see her everyday on “The View.” Now look at her!!! If she could do it, so can you!!!! Keep Fightin’

If you get bugged out by sleeping in Hotel rooms, or using public toilets, turn away from this article from switched.com. But don’t do what Dr. Fitness did and cover your phone with Purell. Maybe those Saniwipes by clorox will work better!!!! Check out this Story!!! Professor Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona is very interested in what’s growing on your cell phone, and we’re not talking about your bill. He’s been testing cell phones and finding that, in general, they’re riddled with germs and bacteria that can cause skin infections.

And Number 3, if you are going to the doctor and he is giving you an injection - if you cough right before the injection, it will lessen the pain - it works for kids. Listen to the show to hear why this is so and all the skinny!!!

  I’m not a big drinker…never have been. But If you put Pina Colada mix and add some alcohol in a half-cut pineapple with an umbrella, and a cherry..and I am in heaven. But you can really pack on the calories with these summertime classic mixed drinks. A 12 ounce pina colada can pack almost 650 calories!

I came across a great article by R.D.,Tara Gidus, about calorie contents of mixed drinks and better calorie choices on the mixed drink side. Check out the article and also check out her website!!!

He also has lots of tennis tips and information there as well.

We also had on Chuck Cuthbert from the Atlanta Ballroom Dancing Centre. Chuck shared his secrets to teach you how to dance with the stars. Chuck’s studio is Atlanta’s premier ballroom dancing center.  Chuck has taught so many couples how to dance for their wedding he lost count.  Ballroom dancing is a perfect cardio choice for those who hate treadmills.  To get more information about the Atlanta Ballroom Dance Centre go to Chuck’s website www.atlantaballroomdancecentre.com

The Doctor had some fitness tips in his latest installment of …Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” To Get Ready For Your First 10k Road Race Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ secrets about the things you should do to prepare for your first road race. Number 1, do not start off too fast - you are going to want to shoot off the starting gun like a rocket but don’t do it - keep a steady pace. Number 2, wear the right clothes - chafing stinks - ask the Fat Guy he’ll tell you. And Number 3, eat the right foods and drink the beverages. He had a few more tips and he gave lots more detail in these tips but since I was on vacation i didn’t listen to them but you’ll have to listen to get them.

Kathie Larkin was in the house and she did a great job taking the Fat Guy’s place in the studio. She told us all about her own tennis experience as well as lots of other good stuff. You know Kathie as the host of Real Savvy Moms.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for moms that is available on most Public Broadcasting Stations around the US and online. Remember Kathie is one of the top feet and legs model’s out there… she is so hot she got to be a body double for Alyssa Milano recently. Be sure to check out Kathie’s website www.getkathie.com. Also check out her hosting skills on www.RealSavvyMoms.com.

Remember we are now on Michigan radio station WKNW this day. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy “Wellness Minute.” So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each day. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. We’re working on ways to make those tips available to all our listeners. If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too.

Also once again, I need you to please do me a favor. My nine year kid Max made his radio debut in his new show “Kid Power Radio.” This is a great show for your kids. It is kind of like a kids version of David Spade’s “Showbiz Show” on Comedy Central or Entertainment Tonight. Max recaps the week in entertainment and gives his take and review of what he liked and didn’t like on TV, at the movies, video games, in books and in music and even restaurant reviews. Please go to his site and download the show for your kid. And if your kid sends Max an email he’ll read it on the air next week. The show can be found at www.kidpowerradio.com and you can email Max at RadioStarMax at Yahoo.com. Your encouragement is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Last Week’s show was filled with lots of great information and great guests. We had Jump Snap inventor, Brad LaTour who lost 50 pounds doing of all things….jumping rope…well, sort of. If you want all the benefits of jumping rope but are too uncoordinated to do it properly like the Fat Guy, you have to check this product out. Jump Snap is a ropeless jump rope. It has handles with a short rope and ball attached. You hold the handles and go through the motions of jumping rope. But there is no actual rope the Jump Snap has a speaker that makes the sound of the rope swinging and it keeps track of calories burned, how many repetitions you done and it even talks to you. How cool is that? The Fat Guy thought it was a martial arts weapon at first. Please go to Brad’s website www.jumpsnap.com and check it out. The best thing about it is that you can take it anywhere!!!! Great for kids….Great for Adults and even celebrities like Hilary Swank!!!

We also had on Raymond Francis, author of “Never Be Sick Again” and his brand new book “Never Be Fat Again”. Raymond had a spirited discussion about the steps needed to lose weight and keep it off permanently. He was very passionate and almost convinced the Fat Guy that he should lay off processed food. Dr Fitness loved his message and strongly su
