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 slow pace you barely even notice you are doing anything – you’re not tired or sweating. To learn more please go to www.trekdesk.com

Bart Walker grew up in middle Tennessee. Watching his father’s career in healthcare, specifically working with the elderly in a skilled nursing environment, Bart knew early on that his calling was in healthcare, working with seniors. Today, Bart is the Executive Director for the Life Care/Century Park campus in Lawrenceville that is comprised of Garden Plaza, The Bridge and Life Care of Lawrenceville. Representing Garden Plaza, he tells us that this beautiful independent living community completed the campus just two years ago by providing an independent living alternative to the existing communities.

Hollie Noth is the center’s Executive Director. Originally from New Jersey, Hollie attended Southern Adventist University, pursuing a degree in Business Administration. After an extracurricular student meeting on campus, Hollie became interested in long term care for older adults and eventually specialized her education in Long Term Care Administration.

She will tell you that one of the highlights of her recent career was having one of her residents crowned as Miss Georgia Nursing Home 2009.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share Dr Fitness’ favorite pasta salad recipe. Dr Fitness loves pasta salad. He usually makes a whole bunch of pasta once and then uses it several times during the week in a variety of meals. For his pasta salad he mixes it with spinach, tomatoes, peas, and nuts then adds a healthy dressing over it. This recipe can be customized to only the foods and dressings you like. But watch the portion size – calories from the pasta and the dressing can add up fast – so go heavy on the veggies and light everything else. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Strength Training Tips From Matt Brzycki, Fitness Expert From Princeton

Strength Training Tips From Matt Brzycki, Fitness Expert From Princeton

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend Matt Brzycki, Assistant Director of Campus Recreation and Fitness at Princeton University. Matt explained the dangers of weight lifting on swiss exercise balls, how to read supplement labels and the benefits of drinking chocolate milk after you work out. We have talked about the dangers of working out with weights while laying on a swiss exercise ball but the message is not getting through – an NBA player hurt himself when the ball burst as he was pressing weights while on the ball. The balls may say they can’t burst but if you put enough weight on them they can. Using supplements when you are a college or pro athlete can be dicey – the labels may not include any ingredients that are banned but during the manufacturing process banned substances can make their way in. A study Matt mentioned said that up to 15% of supplements had some form of steroids in them. And lastly we talked about the protein power in chocolate milk that is not in other sports recovery drinks. Matt’s new book on Youth Fitness can be found on Amazon.
