Bryan Batson/Atlanta Gas Light

Atlanta Gas Light provides American, abundant and affordable natural gas efficiently to 1.5 million Georgians. They’ve been a trustworthy source of safe, clean energy — and a constant partner to almost 200 counties they serve throughout Georgia — since they installed the City of Atlanta’s first natural gas streetlights more than 150 years ago.

Today, AGL is the eighth largest natural gas distribution utility in the United States and the largest in the Southeast. In Georgia’s deregulated natural gas market, AGL does not sell natural gas to customers. Instead, AGL operates and maintains the infrastructure that delivers reliable natural gas to customers of certified natural gas marketers.

R.E.C.E.S.S. Programs is the only branded programs that offers health clubs of all sizes the ability to serve multiple generations simultaneously. They do this by seamlessly integrating youth and older adult programming into the fabric of the facility, without compromising the integrity of the club… but instead enhancing it.

Can You Fidget Your Way to Fitness?

00:00 /

Since all movement burns calories – it goes to reason that fidgeting can help you stay fit. But you better be doing a lot of it every day. This kind of incidental physical activity helps but is no substitute for exercise. Sorry but shaking your leg when you watch TV doesn’t replace a cardio workout. But if you park farther away or take the stairs instead of the elevator you will burn more calories and every calorie burned is not one around your waist making your jeans tighter.

Some people think that it is better not to eat anything before a workout or exercise session in order to burn more fat. Research just does not back that up. A recent study with a bunch of bikers did not come to that conclusion.

Tracey Mallet came on and told us about her new exercise dvds that she has put out including The Booty Barre. She mixes together ballet, kick boxing and the hippest music. Tracey shared how she dealth with migraine headaches and how that adding balance to her life helped her slow down.

Dr Fitness and her Tracey debated the merits of body weight exercises and how lunges may be the most functional exercise. Tracey just turned 40 (hard to believe) and she says she has to really challenge her body now when she works out. She doesn’t like to run because she feels compassion for her joints

She also 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, appearing on TV and she has a new workout certification for fitness trainers that she is rolling out all around the world.

Are You Doing The World’s Best Exercise?

Are You Doing The World’s Best Exercise?

00:00 /

Researchers recently asked a bunch of fitness pro’s from around the world to name the best exercise. The Fat Guy said sex. Dr Fitness guessed swimming. But we were both wrong.

Burpees or squat thrusts got an unusually large amount of votes because that exercise engages a lot of muscle groups. Squats got some votes as did interval training. But the exercise on most people’s list was….wait for it…brisk walking for 30 minutes a day 5 days a week.

The thought behind brisk walking as the best exercise was that it was easy to do, you don’t need any expensive equipment, people who walked were able to stay compliant over long periods of time, the injury risk was minimal and if you regularly walked at a brisk enough pace you can attain your fitness and weight loss goals. So go for a walk today to celebrate this discovery. What is your favorite exercise?
