Dr Cory Kidd Introduces Autom Your Robot Weight Loss Coach

December 22, 2009 by drfitnessandthefatguy

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our pal Dr Cory Kidd, inventor of Autom the most awesome robot and your personal weight loss coach who will help you lose weight. Since most people can only stay on a diet for less than a month Cory decided to do something about it. His robot has a 3-5 minute conversation with you each day to ask about your day – what exercise you did, what you ate, how you’re feeling, etc. Autom then shares her thoughts about what you did and gives you friendly advice and encouragement. All the research shows that when you add this kind of interaction then people will stay compliant with their weight loss program much longer than if they are doing it on their own. In fact most people who participated in the testing did not want to give the robot back. We have been following Autom’s rise since 2007 and she is getting ready for the big time. Cory is in Hong Kong right now putting the finishing touches on her. Check out her video demonstration at his website www.myautom.com

How to Prevent Holiday Weight Gain

December 18, 2009 by drfitnessandthefatguy

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some tips to help you prevent holiday weight gain. Holiday travel and parties make it a tough time to lose weight – so modify your goal just to stay at the same weight during the holidays. When you travel by car be sure to prepare and bring healthy snacks with you in a cooler. Cut up veggies or make healthy sandwiches instead of driving through fast food restaurants. If you are going to the airport try and eat a healthy meal before you get there instead of eating an unhealthy meal at the terminal. And on the flight bring your own healthy snack instead of relying on whatever the airline is handing out. And remember, when you arrive at your destination getting in your daily run or walk is a great way to take a break from all that family fun. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

How To Prevent Treadmill Injuries

December 15, 2009 by drfitnessandthefatguy

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some of the hidden danger related to your treadmill. As more and more treadmills are showing up in homes more and more kids (and adults) are getting injured on them. About 25,000 kids are injured on home exercise equipment each year. A good thing to do is give your child a safety lesson on proper treadmill use and try and be in the same room as he/she uses the treadmill in case something does happen. Always use the wristband cut off switch and don’t do tricks like walking on it backwards or spinning around on it like the OKGO music video. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
