I’d like to give a very special shout out to Bertha from Georgia… she is this week’s winner of a great exercise DVD. She sent in a very kind email saying how much she has enjoyed the show Great job Bertha, keep up the good work and anyone else who wants to win a free exercise dvd please blog about us and email us your weight loss story.

The Fat Guy has been bringing his “A” game to the show….He made me laugh!!!! and laughing burns calories!!!! The lovely Tiffany Davis, Atlanta editor for DailyCandy.com, joined us in the studio again for another fantastic segment on activities you can do that do not feel like exercise plus home spa tips.
On Thursday’s show, the very beautiful Teresa Tapp joined us with an innovative copyrighted series of movements that will help you lose inches without weights, equipment or jumping called T-Tapp. Teresa has a book called “Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes” as well as dvds and an information packed website. Please go to her website www.t-tapp.com and you will find all her stuff plus: contests, a ton of testimonials, amazing before and after pictures and a directory of certified T-Tapp trainers and a whole bunch more….She told us how she developed her amazing techniques while working with top models in Europe. I’m talking Claudia Schiffer and others. Remember models really don’t care what they weigh as much as how they fit into their clothes. So Teresa’s T-Tapp is very comprehensive in delivering fat loss, weight loss and inch loss as well as increasing your overall heath, energy and fitness. You don’t have to be superfit to do her technique in fact she had Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy doing some of the exercises on the air. She was talking us through it and the Fat Guy almost did it. I wish we had a webcam so you could have seen it. I can’t wait to get my hands on Teresa’s DVD…my new crush!!!!

And if that wasn’t enough, you listeners were lucky enough to hear the brilliant Dr. Judith Beck, author of “The Beck Diet Solution,” which is rocketing up the bestseller lists. Dr Beck has been appearing everywhere, in fact, when I got home from the show, I opened my Health magazine and there she was in there. Well Dr Beck is an authority in cognitive therapy and she uses those techniques to help people lose weight. This book is a MUST READ on Dr. Fitness’ Top Weight Loss Books. Go to her website www.beckdietsolution.com for great downloads you can use today, information on her book “The Beck Diet Solution” and her new workbook that is coming out soon as well as info on Dr Judith Beck herself, there’s also a blog. It’s worth your time. I was blown away by how helpful this book is and I give it 2 Big Thumbs Up!

We love our Daily Candy and we were lucky enough to have Tiffany Davis from The Daily Candy in our studio…I even included a picture of her!!!! Tiffany leads a life that everyone should be jealous of…I know I am. It is her job to discover the hippest places, the finest restaurants and the coolest clubs. It’s not easy being her. Tonight, Tiffany shared some places you could go in Atlanta to get an unconventional workout. We talked about kickball leagues, we talked about rock climbing centers we even talked about pole dancing and stiletto heel workouts. There were a lot of laughs and a lot of great info. If you are one of few remaining women who don’t subscribe to Daily Candy then hop to it … go to www.DailyCandy.com and sign yourself up. They have city centered issues in a lot of big cities, they have special kid issues and more.

What a weekend! I just returned to Huntsville, AL after an absolutely wonderful weekend at Chateau Elan, just 40 quick minutes from downtown Atlanta. I took my beautiful girlfriend, Nanci, to the Spa at Chateau Elan for her birthday. Yes, Dr. Fitness knows how take care of his lady!!! Go to their website www.ChateauElan.com to see how beautiful it looks because the property is breathtaking. You really feel like you are at a French Chateau!!! So much to do there….Golf, Tennis, Winery, Fine Dining, Spa, Equestrian Park, and much more!!!! We stayed in the Spa and they have the coolest “theme” rooms which are unbelievably decorated. Our room, The Bachus Room, had a huge jacuzzi tub. You can see all the different rooms online at their website. The Spa Director, Michelle-Ufer Herrold, joined us on “The Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Show” last night for a very entertaining interview and to tell us more about the entire Spa and property and also mentioned some great Valentines Day Packages for all our romantic listeners. Big thumbs up….a must see and stay if you visit or live in Atlanta.

Fran Powell, President of Newmark, Inc and makers of The Painmaster Patch, an extremely portable, Microcurrent therapy device, for people dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain, also joined us for a very enjoyable, informative segment on this new product. I have been “secretly” testing it on my patients and they have loved it. I say secretly as a joke only because microcurrent therapy is a designed so that you don’t feel it. It is really the only therapy out there that directly aids in tissue repair. Check out there website at www.Painmasterpatch.com and all of my doctor friends and physical therapists can drop an email to chris@painmasterproducts.com for a sample to use on your patients. Just tell em “Dr. Fitness” sent you!!!! I love the product and you can wear it while you sleep or while you work!!! Thanks Fran for not hanging up on me when I thought Fran was a female name until the Fat Guy reminded me of the great Fran Tarkenton!!!!

Our final guest last night was also awesome, Vicki Sorenson, the creator of the game, The Fitness Challenge. She was very lively and lots of fun to talk to!!! You can pick it up at Borders, Amazon.com, or go order from the web site at www.Fitnesschallenge.com Vicki Sorensen, a software sales professional, thought up The Fitness Challenge as a way for her and her fiancé to shed some pounds and get in shape for their wedding. “We all know that physical fitness is a necessity for keeping the pounds off and maintaining our overall health and well-being,” she said. “But many of us don’t have the same internal drive to exercise that Lance Armstrong has. The Fitness Challenge provides that motivation.” So me, the Fat Guy, and our new hot buddy Kathie Larkin, www.getkathie.com, who joined us in the studio last night, are all gonna play. I wanna kick their butts!!!!

Remember to watch the Australian Open on ESPN even though our buddy, Brad Gilbert’s boy, Andy Murray, lost a touch match to Rafael Nadal in 5 sets!!!! Watch Andy win a slam this summer, Dr. Fitness Guarantees it!!!!!!
