It’s been two weeks since my last blog and here’s why. No computer and no internet service. So now I am armed with a $2000 laptop and after 5 tries with the cable company, I now have internet service. 2 big thumbs down to Comcast Cable. They seem to have difficulty honoring their appointments and to make matters worse, really do not care about making the customers happy….so a big fat raspberry to Comcast.

Big Congratulations to Angela Hackwell from Utah for winning a consult with Jennifer Nicole Lee! Jennifer is one of the best motivators and Angela is on her way to achieve her goals. We wish her the very best!

We had two great shows the past two weeks. We had Fred Muench, Director of research for www.StressErasser.com. Fred talked about the dangers of stress and gave some good tips on how breathing properly can help you relax. He shared lots of good information about the Stress Eraser (which is like a mini bio-feedback machine) and how it can help you coordinate your breathing with your heartbeat which helps you relax. The Fat Guy and I have each been using it for awhile now and we both love it also. Please go to their website and check it our for yourself www.stresseraser.com It is also available at Sharper Image, Sky Mall and a bunch of other high end catalogues. It is Super Cool!!!!

We also got to spend some quality time with Sarah Bellum…get it!!!! head trainer and professional Pillow Fighter. (I don’t think that is her real name..it might have been because she seemed pretty smart) Sarah represents the Pillow Fight League. The Pillow Fight League has been sweeping Canada and has recently made it’s way into the United States. Recently the league got banned from competing in New York because they violated a law that prohibits the use of weapons at various venues. The Fighters pillows were considered weapons. Sarah shared some of the pillow fighter techniques and training tips. She said that fighters do get hurt and this is not like the kind of pillow fights you had when you were a kid. To me the pillow fight league sounds like a cross between roller derby and the glamorous girls of wrestling. Check them out for yourself at their website www.gopfl.com They have dvds, t-shirts, and even pillow cases for sale there. You can also check out where they are competing next.

Andy Langberg, the professional athletes secret weapon, joined us this past Sunday. Andy developed a technique to treat athletes and regular folks who have normal aches and pains called Total Body Reactivation or TBR. This technique can improve your range of motion and helps get your body in a position to heal itself. Tiki Barber , ex New York Giant running back and current Today Show contributor says “I recommend that every athlete get on Andy’s table.” Andy works with athletes in every sport and has treatment centers in New York, NewJersey and soon to be in Florida. to learn more check out Andy Langberg’s website www.reactivateme.com.

We also found out about this cool new website called www.ITrainHarder.com this site was developed by Harold E Smith III. He created it after trying other online training sites and combining all the best elements and getting rid of the lousy elements. ITrainHarder has a nutrition/food tracker as well as a training tracker. Harold said that they are working on demonstrations of the exercises as well as a message board/forum for additional support.

The Doctor had his fitness tips again. So we had another installment of …Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” To Lose Weight Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ secrets about how to start your fitness program…Number 1, consult your doctor before beginning any fitness program. Number 2, find a coach to teach you the proper form before you begin any strength training. Bad form leads to injuries which leads to quitting. And we don’t want you to do that. And Number 3, start slowly. Do not go from not exercising to training like Lance Armstrong. Slow and steady wins the race. Remember you are going to be active for a lifetime go slow and ease your way into it. There were a couple more tips from Dr. Fitness, but you’ll have to listen to the podcast or go to his blog to get the rest.

Kathie was not with us in the studio this week. We missed her. Remember she 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 her out on www.RealSavvyMoms.com.

We were happy to give away that free consultation with Jennifer Nicole Lee . The winner was Angela in Enoch, UTAH. She sent in an amazing email that touched Dr Fitness’ heart. Here is some of what she wrote…

“Well, as you guys already know, there are a million plus one websites/blogs out there that can possibly help you lose weight.  I for one don’t have near enough time to peruse them all if I am following your instructions to get up and out to exercise.  I have found that I will make time to listen to your podcast viz iTunes.  I subscribe to nothing else faithfully.  I have however, taking a liking and feel a connection with Jennifer Nicole Lee.  Being a working woman and full time mother blogging is not something that I have made time to do.  I added you to my Myspace blog as well as my Yahoo page as a favorite, and a comment out to my friends at Traineo.  I do spread the word about your podcast to my friends because there is nothing better than hearing Dr. Fitness drool over a hot chick on the air or The Fat Guy laughing at himself.  He may not like people but I can assure you that people like him.  Listening to your show often is what makes life more enjoyable.  Thanks for bringing the laugh back in.”

Man that was so nice. And she isn’t even related to us. So congratulations Angela. Let us know how your consult with Jennifer goes. And eveyone else who entered but did not win. Sorry, there’s always next time.
