BodyBuilder Legend Lee Labrada Wants You To Get In Shape This Fourth of July

00:00 /

We interviewed legendary body builder Lee Labrada and he immediately asked us to be his friend on Facebook at Labrada Nutrition. He said that there is a great free 12 week training program on there. So after we did that he told some behind the scenes stories about the early years of bodybuilding with Arnold and the gang. He was pretty emphatic that those body building competitions are nothing like beauty pageants. There are pranks and the competitors took that stuff pretty seriously. In order to compete at the highest levels you had to train and eat right 24/7 – which requires a tremendous amount of self discipline.

And Lee shared some fitness tips to help get you in shape. He said that humans are meant to move so stay active every day. He also said that to opt for lean meats and keep your stress levels low.Dr Fitness and Lee talked about the benefits of high intensity training for both cardio and strength training in order to get your muscles to failure. Lee recently decided to get back in fighting shape in order to pose for a photo shoot in Muscle Magazine to celebrate his 51st birthday

Lee’s story is another great immigrant rags to riches story which is perfect to listen to this Indpendence Day.

Radio Show Recap: Our Outdoor Fitness (Mis) Adventures. Plus An Interview with Rob Hurlbut CEO of Attune Foods

00:00 /

Since the weather in Atlanta has been steamy both Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy ventured outside towards the water and had some interesting adventures. Dr Fitness went to Lake Lanier and tried paddle boarding – which is standing on a large surfboard and moving yourself with a long paddle. He only fell once and narrowly missed being run over by a speeding boat. The Fat Guy broke out his inflatable canoe for a 3 hour trip down the Chattahoochee River with his son. His lack of boating skills were showcased in front of dozens of college aged kids partying their way down the river. The Fat Guy could impressively make his canoe spin in circles and float backwards down the river. And to cap off his trip the place he exits the river was blocked by a 4 foot snake.

After recapping our weekend we got the chance to interview Rob Hurlbut with Attune Foods – home of delicious chocolate probiotics as well as Uncle Sam and Erewhon Cereal Rob shared the importance of probiotics for good digestive health. He said that for good digestive health you should do 3 things.

Avoid things that you are allergic to
Get more fiber in your diet
Have good bacteria (probiotics) in your gut

Alex Yount is the marketing guy behind one of the craziest freakin days of your life – The Warrior Dash. If you like to get muddy, if you like to challenge yourself in unconventional ways and if you like Renaissance Festivals then the Warrior Dash must be added to the fitness events you do this year.This fun fitness event combines all of the stuff from your childhood adventures and/or what happens on the TV show WipeOut.

The Warrior Dash in Georgia is May 14-15 this year. Register early – because around 20k people are going to participate and it takes 2 days to get everyone through the course. Just to give you the heads up this 12 obstacle course includes lots of mud, water, fire and music. You have to be at least 14 to race. Everyone who competes gets a cool helmet and t-shirt and if you’re old enough you also get a free beer. Expect lots of Warrior food like bbq, corn on the cob and turkey legs. There is even a Jumbotron screen so you can watch all the other competitors take on the mud. You can compete in the costume contest, you can race with your friends. A muddy good time will be had.

This event is happening all over the country and even around the world so please go their website www.warriordash.com and see if there is one near you.

Mix Things Up With These 3 Mud Filled Fun Fitness Events

Participating in fitness events do not have to always be running around in a big circle. Running 5ks, 10ks, half marathons and marathons are not for everyone. So thankfully their are fun fitness events that are inspired by the TV show WipeOut. That’s right you can now challenge yourself to lots of different “races” that include mud, water, fire, climbing over stuff, going through tunnels and running and jumping. This is not the Boston Marathon folks – these events are for people who don’t mid getting a little muddy and who enjoy a cold beer after their race. So check them all out and find one near you and go for it.

Rut Ro. Haven’t Worked Out In A Month? 4 Fitness RutBusters

It happens to everyone (but it seems to happen to the Fat Guy more often) a bad day turns into a bad week which turns into a bad month. It is so easy to backslide when it comes to exercising regularly. Here are 4 easy tips on how to get out of a fitness rut.

You have to change your mindset before you can change your body.
Instead of exercising alone try some classes – the energy of a group will help keep you stay on track
Try new foods – explore ethnic restaurants that you have never stepped foot in before then use some of the spices you discovered there in your meals at home.
Help others get fit – by being a “coach” or role model for someone else – it will force you to walk the walk.

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on fitness professional Dustin Maher came on to talk about his quest to get 1,000,000 moms in the best shape of their lives. Inspired by his own mom Dustin has lots of materials to help women get back in their pre mom shape. First he says to take care of yourself first – like they say on airplanes – put your oxygen mask on before you put it on your kid. His holiday party tip was to make sure you are eating healthy when you are alone so you can splurge a little when you go out to holiday parties. But he said that you only get one trip through the buffet line. And eat your protein becuase that will make you feel full. Then go strong with the veggies. Also slow down while you eat which also will make you feel full. To learn more please go to www.dustinmaherfitness.com
