Simple Things You Can Do To Keep Your Child Safe

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some child safety tips. Sometimes its hard to keep your kid safe because they move so fast and are very slippery when they are wet. But here are some of the easy things you can do…Teach your kid to swim at a very young age. Now I’m not talking swimming lessons to make them the next Michael Phelps, I’m talking survival swim lessons, so they don’t drown if they accidentally fall into a pool, jacuzzi or bathtub. When you are teaching your child to ride his/her bike explain the importance of braking without crashing into things. In the car always buckle up – and make sure your kids know its never a good idea to thrown things in the car – a thrown object can distract the driver or the object can get stuck under the brake pedal under the drivers feet. Little kids also shouldn’t be handling lit fireworks. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Katie Neiman with FitFlops Talks About Dr Fitness’ Favorite Shoe, The Flip Flop With The Gym Built-in

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with Katie Neiman with Dr Fitness’ favorite footwear Fit Flops. Katie explain that Fit Flops are the only footwear than comes with a gym built-in. These fashionable shoes activate your muscles as you walk – kind of like simulating walking while barefoot. These shoes blow away those old fashioned flip flops because they diffuse the pressure on your feet, while the old ones force your toes to hold the shoe on the foot which is uncomfortable after awhile. These are not your mother’s sandals – they look great, they give you a hidden workout. They combine fashion with function and since the FitFlop makes sure your foot is always kept in the right position the 26 bones that make up your foot are all aligned properly. Dr Fitness insists that these will be the most comfortable pair of flip flops you will ever own. They have a kids line coming soon and have lots of different styles to choose from. You can try them on for yourself at Macy’s Nordstrom, Lady FootLocker and other great shoe stores or get them online at Zappos. Go to their website and see why Oprah put these shoes on her Top 10 list www.fitflop.com

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to improve your memory. All the information we now consume through the internet, TV, radio and juts walking around makes it hard for us to remember things that are really important. We are dealing with information overload. Just think about how many passwords you have to remember for all the websites you go to. So here are some memory tips to help you remember stuff: After you meet someone new, repeat their name back to them by saying something like “Nice to meet you Bill” Remember things in chunks – don’t remember one number at at time cluster the numbers in chunks of three or four. And always remember to sleep and exercise more and take those omega 3s. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Personal Safety Expert and Revat Fitness Trainer Ingo Weigel Explains Self Defense For Modern Times

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy closed the show with personal safety expert Ingo Weigel author of the book Self Defense for Modern Times. He teaches the Revat Fitness technique. He shared some of his best self defense tips for women or the Fat Guy. Some people think that women need different self defense techniques than men – Ingo disagrees. Ingo thinks that surviving crime requires more mental toughness than physical abilities. Size, weight, conditioning and upper body strength don’t make the difference. Ingo says that lady like self defense and anti-crime gadgets offer unrealistic guarantees. His tips were great. Number 1 – never go to the floor or ground to fight back. Number 2 – never start wrestling or grappling with your attacker. Number 3 – target groin, eyes throat. Remember you only have a couple of seconds to react and your attacker is probably stronger than you so be proactive, look the guy in the eyes and take charge once you know a confrontation is inevitable.

Dealing with Bulimia

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to spot symptoms of the eating disorder bulimia. Eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia can be devastating the person suffering from it and their family. So if you have middle school, high school or college children (especially girls) then be on the look out for any change in behavior in regards to their eating and exercise patterns. The pressure to fit in and be thin is overwhelming for some people and they will take drastic measures to keep their weight down. So if you spot laxatives or enemas in your child’s room you might be dealing with a bulimic. While using vomiting to lose weight is common among bulimics that is not the only way they try to control their weight. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
