Radio Show Recap: Father’s Day Review. MizFit Shares Her 100 Calorie Workout 6 Pack. JJ Virgin Fitness Tips Plus Freaky Eater Stories

00:00 /

Led off with a recap of our Father’s Day.The Fat Guy had an eatfest including his favorite tootsie roll midgies, breakfast and linner (lunch and dinner in the late afternoon) at his favorite Cuban restaurant. Dr Fitness had a more fitness oriented day that involved a run followed by another run. The Fat Guy went to see the Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds and guess who was at the movie theater filming a scene from his upcoming movie The Change -up? That’s right Ryan Reynolds – how weird is that? FYI Green Lantern gets a belly down and Super 8 gets a big belly up – if you’re scoring at home.

Then our good friend Miz Fit aka Carla Birnberg joined us with some workout tips from her new My Trainer Fitness 6 Packs featuring quick and easy 100 calorie workouts. We laughed a lot and she took us behind the scenes of her new Fila modelling session.

Then JJ Virgin came on to talk about Freaky Eater stories from her TV show on TLC. Who doesn’t love stories about people who have to eat tartar sauce or corn starch all day long? JJ also wrote the book Six Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy – she generously shared some her best fitness tips to get those ripped arms.

Radio Show Recap: Our Outdoor Fitness (Mis) Adventures. Plus An Interview with Rob Hurlbut CEO of Attune Foods

00:00 /

Since the weather in Atlanta has been steamy both Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy ventured outside towards the water and had some interesting adventures. Dr Fitness went to Lake Lanier and tried paddle boarding – which is standing on a large surfboard and moving yourself with a long paddle. He only fell once and narrowly missed being run over by a speeding boat. The Fat Guy broke out his inflatable canoe for a 3 hour trip down the Chattahoochee River with his son. His lack of boating skills were showcased in front of dozens of college aged kids partying their way down the river. The Fat Guy could impressively make his canoe spin in circles and float backwards down the river. And to cap off his trip the place he exits the river was blocked by a 4 foot snake.

After recapping our weekend we got the chance to interview Rob Hurlbut with Attune Foods – home of delicious chocolate probiotics as well as Uncle Sam and Erewhon Cereal Rob shared the importance of probiotics for good digestive health. He said that for good digestive health you should do 3 things.

Avoid things that you are allergic to
Get more fiber in your diet
Have good bacteria (probiotics) in your gut

We opened the show up with a recap of our Memorial Day. Dr Fitness tried to go on a double date with another couple and that ended awkwardly. And the Fat Guy recounted the many ways his 86 year old father has either fallen down or almost fallen down lately but has still managed to stay alive. Dr Fitness told a story about some new sunscreen he likes called California Baby

Then Tracey Mallet came on and told us about her new exercise dvds that she has put out including The Booty Barre. She updated us on some of the travel she has been doing including her recent trip to England where they couldn’t recognize her British accent. She is still cranking out the dvds and she has a new workout certification for fitness trainers that she is rolling out all around the world.

We opened the show with a recap of our FitBloggin experience. It was awesome. Big shout out to Roni Noone and all the other fitbloggers we got to hang out with. Learned a lot about blogging watched a lot of people do fitness stuff. And had an all around great time. We were honored to be the keynote speakers this year and look forward to doing more stuff (maybe a live remote broadcast) with them next year.

Our first guest was someone we met at FitBloggin No Meat Athlete Matt Frazier. He is a vegan ultramarathon runner.Anyone who can shave over 100 minutes from his marathon time is a beast and this guy can do it without eating meat. That Scott Pilgrim movie was right those vegans are like superheroes. He’s got a new book coming out soon that shows you how to train for a half marathon and his first book helps vegetarians train for marathons.

Next up we had on Seth Goldman TeaEO of Honest Tea Dr Fitness’ new favorite beverage the half tea half lemonade lightly sweetened drink. Honest Tea wins awards for being green, for being healthy, for being organic and fair trade. But it is also delicious. If you are having a hard time finding it – it’s probably because Dr Fitness buys them all whenever he finds them. Honest Tea can be found in more and more stores but if you can’t find them near you Seth says to talk to the store manager and ask for it.

We closed the show with Shelley Woodworth from the Vail Valley Foundation and the Teva Mountain Games Vail which is happeneing June 2-5. This event is cool because it pits amateurs with pros going head to head in biking, running, white water and bouldering events. Throw in some free concerts, a little art and a bunch of free gear and no wonder more than 40,000 people will be there this year.

Radio Show Recap: Dr Fitness Reviews Consumer Reports Top Diets. Weight Loss Tips From Patrick House Winner of Biggest Loser Season 10

00:00 /

We opened the show with a heated debate whether the musician Drake was Jewish – he is. Then later we talked about important stuff like keynoting the FitBloggin 11 conference and other things we have going on. We ended on Dr Fitness giving his take on a recent Consumer Reports review of the Top 10 Diets (The Top 3 were Jenny Craig, Slimfast and Weight Watchers). But guess who funded the study that Consumer Reports relied on – Jenny Craig – and they came out on top – probably just a coincidence.

We then interviewed Biggest Loser Season 10 Winner Patrick House. He seemed like a great guy. He is doing amazing work in South Carolina with his Mindstream Academy which is helping overweight kids battle obesity. He also shared some behind the scenes of the Biggest Loser – he talked about how Bob and Jillian behaved when the cameras were turned off. He also mentioned that his wife lost 60 pounds when Patrick was off doing the show in order to support him better when he came home. He lost almost 200 pounds on the show and has recently run the Boston Marathon. His motivation for winning the show were to lose weight, be a better role model to his kids and he needed the money because he was unemployed.
