Getting ready for prom is one of those important milestones for girls around the country. On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Karen Jashinsky, who told us all about her unique Prom Fitness program that she hopes becomes a catalyst for a lifetime of fitness.

Many girls look to pop culture and the media to get their answers and information as they prepare for their prom. A recent study showed that girls spend at least 2 hours a day on Facebook are more likely to have an eating disorder. Karen tries to help girls eat and exercise properly and understand that different body types can expect different results. She also wants tween girls to have the self confidence to deal with the body image challenges at come their way and not be as self-conscious about their bodies.

She has found that girls like more private online coaches and that a lot of them are intimidated by group classes. Boys on the other hand like to be hands on – using equipment.

Her program is lifestylew based with no crash diets or detox programs. She wants her members to learn their body type, what dress will look best on them learn proper nutrition and exercise techiques and get discounts, try sample classes and interact online.

Emergency plan – ask what the emergency safety plan is and how it would be implemented
Medical exams – make sure they insist that each child gets a medical exam prior to joining team
Qualified coaches – background checks on the coaches along with checking references from past employment is always a good idea
Certification – National cheerleading certifications are also good guides to a reputable team

Infants 0-1 years old and are under 20 pounds should be in rear facing car seats in the back seat
Toddlers 1 and older who are over 20 pounds can be in forward facing car seats
Older kids then move to a booster seat up until they are 8 years old
Kids 8 and older will want to move to the front seat – but fight that urge. You want to avoid your kids controlling the radio as long as possible

In a Hurry? Try Curry. Shrimp Curry Recipe

It’s weird – Dr Fitness doesn’t eat shrimp and the Fat Guy hates curry yet Dr Fitness comes up with a curry shrimp recipe that neither one of us would eat. It’s a fast and easy recipe so if you’re in a hurry you may like it. You know that you can swap any other protein for the shrimp – but here goes – you need red curry paste, coconut milk, bell peppers, mushrooms and basil. Saute that stuff up then throw in your cooked shrimp (or any other protein). Serve over brown rice.
