Run on the Track To Mix Up Your Workout

00:00 /

Running on the track at your local middle school or high school is a great way to mix up your workout. Sure you have your favorite run course but to mix things up it’s fun to hit the track. You can run sprints or intervals. Dr Fitness had a great tip about using the lanes as a way to count how many laps you run. You can get inspired by the kids busting their butts as they train for track meets and cross country races. It will bring back memories of your youth and get you fired up. Or if you’re like the Fat Guy you’ll just get more depressed and go home and eat a box of donuts.

Cleaning your house at a fast pace with holiday music blaring is a great way to burn lots of calories and get a clean home. Volunteer to feed the homeless. Putting food on plates doesn’t seem like it burns a lot of calories but feeding the homeless requires a lot more than that.

And if all else fails play a big family football game after you eat. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on John Biggs editor of CrunchGear. Mr. Biggs shared his new love to one of our past guests the Vibram Five Fingers shoe. John has had some fott problems and he feels these shoes help him get back on the road running again. John gave us the inside scoop to one of Dr Fitness’ favorite gadgets from Apple and Nike. He has been using the Nike Plus for about a month to track his runs. But he doesn’t like to listen to music when he runs so be bought a wrist band that tracks his runs instead of his iPod. John said you don’t even have to buy Nike shoes to use this device you can just get a velcro pouch and put the little monitoring thingy into and put it on any shoe. John also told us about a new Garmin product that features a virtual racer who races you on your watch. To learn more about all things gadgets go to www.crunchgear.com
