Kids are great at regulating their nutrition instinctively. You’ll be surprised to know that a lot of times your kid will pick the healthy choice on her own.

Dr. Fitness also chimed in with his tips about the things your gym won’t tell you. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ tips…Number 1, that the drop out rate of members who actually use the gym is astronomical. About 75% of members stop going to the gym in 90 days. Number 2, gyms are a cesspool. There are germs everywhere…on the machines, the swiss balls, the mats, the cardio equipment. Be sure to wipe down everything you touch. And Number 3, try not to have a heart attack at the gym…most are not equipped to handle any kind of medical emergency. There was a lot more from Dr. Fitness, so you will have to listen to the show to find out all the rest of these great tips. And I’m sure he’ll post all the tips on his blog.
The Fat Guy was gloating pretty good about his Florida Gators winning the BCS National Football Championship.
