On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on good friend Carla Birnberg aka MizFitOnline. Carla is an award
winning author and fitness trainer. Her blog is popular and informative – she is even part of the Oprah Virtual Digital Blogging Network. Today Carla answered about a dozen fitness questions we received from the Twitterverse. Here is a quick recap of some of her answers: never stretch cold, attitude is everything, pay attention to your rate of perceived exertion, try swimming for people with knee problems, consistency is critical with your cardio, beef jerky is a great power snack, identify your specific language of encouragement – everyone needs support a little differently, and remember for good health you must: stretch, do your cardio, lift weights and eat clean. Thanks to: @fabfattieshan, @carole_hicks, @mrsfatass, @jewliagoulia, @exhotgirl, @bwjen, @natburleson, @nomorebacon, @gemfit and @eatwithoutguilt and the many other Twitter fans that we couldn’t get to.

According to Dr Fitness this will change the way you work. In his perfect world workers will move from cubicles to treadmill desks like the TrekDesk. Steve explained that by walking at a slow 1 mph pace all day long you can burn a significant amount of calories. For example sitting down burns about 15 calories an hour – standing burns about 50 calories an hour and walking at 1 mph can burn over 100 calories an hour. And at that non-strenuous slow pace you barely even notice you are doing anything – you’re not tired or sweating. It’s even better for your back than slouching over your computer all day.
