Summer Weight Loss Tips

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some summer weight loss tips. When the weather gets warmer you are forced to wear less clothes so that puts more pressure on you to look good. So get outside and move more. But when you’re out don’t drink high calorie drinks like full sugar soda or beer drink more water. This will save you calories and keep you hydrated. Go to the beach. There are so many healthy activities you can do at the beach – bring a ball, go for walks, play in the surf. Just walking in the beach sand burns more calories than walking on a flat surface. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips. Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy’s Wellness Minutes improve your health in 3 minutes a day or less. iTunes Follow us on Twitter @FatGuy and @DrFitness6

Lenore Skenazy, Who Has Been Called America’s Worst Mom Talks About Her New Book How to Raise Free Range Kids

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened with Lenore Skenazy, sometimes called America’s Worst Mom because she had the nerve to let her 9 year old ride the subway in NY alone. And if having a kid riding a subway alone wasn’t enough she has even tried to get kids to play on playgrounds without their parents around. Can you imagine that? Lenore has written the book Free Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts With Worry) which talks about giving your kid a little more freedom to play and explore outside on their own. Lenore’s book is a common sense guide to parenting in these uncommonly overprotective times. She says we have forgotten what kids are capable of, and don’t realize that the crime rate is down from when most parents were kids. She is on a mission to get kids outside – exploring and entertaining themselves in a safe manner. This is a must have book for today’s over protective parents – check it out at www.freerangekids.com
