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.

When it comes to losing weight sometimes it is the little that mean the most. Here are four small changes that are pretty easy to make that could lead to big results when it comes to your weight loss.
- Eat a handful of seeds, nuts and berries each day as a snack. The Fat Guy starts his day with a handful of walnuts, almonds and dried berries for breakfast.
- Swap. For each meal swap some grains for more vegetables. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just swap a little a bit at first.
- Add color. Add colorful vegetables to each meal. Red and orange peppers are great with everything from eggs to salads.
- Spice things up. Try new spices to add different flavor to your usual meals.

Cheerleading is getting more and more popular as a recognized sport. Now you can watch cheerleading competitions on ESPN and in the movies. This recognition has helped grow the sport but it has also increased the injury factor as well. As teams become more competitive they perform riskier and riskier routines in order to stand out in the judges eyes. Cheerleaders are getting injured regularly and the cheerleader in the flyer role is getting hurt the worst. Here are some things to look for in a good, safe cheer team
- 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

Attending Michigan State University, Alex received a degree in Social Work in 1972. Upon graduation, he was lured into the burgeoning information technology industry, where he worked in sales for 30 years for IBM, Digital Equipment Corp and Novell.

Though his father passed about 18 months ago, Alex felt compelled to fill a need in the local community providing a variety of daytime services to serniors. Today Alex and Barb Nameth own Friends Place of Mckinney, an Adult Day Services community in McKinney, Texas.

RSS Feed
putting your car seat in safely is critical to keeping your child safe when you drive. The Fat Guy could never do this right so he went to the fire station and the nice firemen helped him. Here are some basic rules but each state has their own laws regarding child safety car seats.
- 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
