We’re trying something new. First we will podcast our show in it’s entirety then we’ll release just the guest interviews during the week. So please click the PLAY  button to listen to Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about strength training from Fred Hahn, author of the best selling book The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution.

Slow Burn exercise stimulates positive adaptations to every aspect of your body including the cardiovascular system. Once stimulated, the body needs time, roughly 48-96 hours, to produce the benefits. Science indicates that if the quality of an exercise program is high, 2 sessions a week of exercise is more than adequate to cause optimal positive results. More than three sessions produces little added physical benefits.

Fred says that exercise itself doesn’t make you “fit” or healthy. That it is sort of a necessary evil. The body becomes healthier if the exercise stimulus is adequate and if rest and recovery is allowed for. Quality not quantity is the key. That’s why you can get such a great productive effective work out in such a short time with Fred’s Slow Burn method .

During the show, Fred also talked about his upcoming new book about Childhood Obesity. He feels that eating too much sugar is a big part of the problem. For more information about Fred and his Slow Burn technique please go to his website www.seriousstrength.com

Here’s his PMS cocktail to help alleviate some of those PMS symptoms. Twice a day 10 days before your cycle try these 3 supplements 1) 50 mg of B6 2) 400 mg of magnesium and 3) 1000mg of Evening of Primrose. Within 2 cycles you should notice an improvement. This book is a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy recommendation. Please check out his website www.jonnybowden.com to order the book and get more information.

Teresa is an exercise physiologist and rehabilitative trainer. She created her unique workout and effective cellulite removal program while working within the International Modeling Industry. She explained that she I worked as a personal trainer, new face developer, booker and scout for several top modeling agencies in the U.S. and in Europe. After working in an industry that demands body perfection, she figured out how to get the female body in shape no matter what age or fitness level while reducing and/or eliminating cellulite. Her Total System is the most effective on the market today! She said people actually see results within 7 days. And she said the Fat Guy might even see results within 10 days if he tried it.

Teresa said, “I could care less what the scale says. Let’s face it, inches count, pounds don’t. Models are measured, not weighed because no matter what the scale says, if the hips are too big for an outfit, they don’t get the job. I have always guaranteed an inch off the waist or hips in one week. Most women lose at least one dress size if not two in 30 days.” Since retiring from the modeling world she has helped thousands of regular women achieve the same results as her models - higher energy, hormonal balance, and body awareness on how to get fit quick!

Just as everyones perception of portion sizes have been distorted it seems that our perception of what fat people look like has also been distorted. A recent study by Dr. Matthew M. Davis, a University of Michigan professor of pediatrics and internal medicine shows that parents are the last to realize that they’re kid should drop a few pounds.

Here’s a tip from the Fat Guy to determine if you have a fat kid - if you are buying clothes for your kid and it has an L or XL then you’re kid is probably overweight. I don’t know if you knew this but L stands for Large and XL stands for Extra Large. you see that is not just the size of the shirt it is also the size of the person wearing the shirt.

Here’s a recap of the results of the study… The Michigan researchers said that, too, suggests parents underestimate their children’s weight.

If your kid is overweight here are three easy things you can do…Weight Loss Tip 1-stop bring junk food into the house. The last time I checked kids don’t do the shopping and most kids are not going to waste their allowance on Pop Tarts. Weight Loss Tip 2-don’t let your kid weasel out of PE make sure your kid does some physical activity every day. Make him walk the dog, make her play outside whether they want to or not. And Weight Loss Tip 3-no liquid calories - more water more watered down fruit juice. That’s pretty much all they should be drinking.

The most entertaining weight loss and fitness podcast show on radio.” Please click on the POD button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show podcast.  On tonight’s show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about all the weight loss and health benefits of jumping rope from Jump Snap inventor and Brad LaTour. 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? Please go to Brad’s website www.jumpsnap.com and check it out. How bad can it be Hilary Swank uses it and she’s pretty hot, right?

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 suggested checking out his books. Raymond also does a lot of work trying to help children and the alarming childhood obesity and health crisis in this country. Please go to Raymond’s website www.beyondhealth.com  for great information including a couple of real powerful free reports called “The Roadmap to Ultimate Health” and “The Roadmap to Supplements” And for more information about his non-profit group that helps children learn the basics of good health please go to www.healtheamerica.org

The Doctor had some fitness tips in his latest installment of …Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” To Get Ready For Your First Spinning Class Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ secrets about the things you should do to see if spinning is for you. Number 1, check out the spinning class before you start - make sure you like the instructor - in group exercise classes the instructor is critical. Number 2, check out the equipment - make sure your gym has good solid equipment - you don’t want the bike to be falling apart mid-ride. And Number 3, when you get on the bike make sure you have the seat at the right height - a good spin instructor will come over to make sure you are on right. He had a few more tips but since I’ve never been anywhere near a spinning class I kind of lost interest but you’ll have to listen to get them.

Kathie Larkin was in the house and she was fired up about landing a big part in a movie that is being filmed here in Atlanta. She told us all about it. 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 a few weeks ago. 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!!!
