In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to pick out the right fitness trainer. There are some crazy ways to choose a fitness trainer – some people go with a personal trainer with a great body – others go with the sexiest foreign accent or some are satisfied that their trainer can count to 12 and set up the next exercise. It is a very personal decision, but however you do it – make sure the trainer has your long term goals and safety in mind. Some trainers make it all about them – look how fit they are – they can eat right and exercise so why can’t you. Forget about those personal trainers – you need someone who can motivate you, educate you and inspire you to be your best. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some child safety tips. Sometimes its hard to keep your kid safe because they move so fast and are very slippery when they are wet. But here are some of the easy things you can do…Teach your kid to swim at a very young age. Now I’m not talking swimming lessons to make them the next Michael Phelps, I’m talking survival swim lessons, so they don’t drown if they accidentally fall into a pool, jacuzzi or bathtub. When you are teaching your child to ride his/her bike explain the importance of braking without crashing into things. In the car always buckle up – and make sure your kids know its never a good idea to thrown things in the car – a thrown object can distract the driver or the object can get stuck under the brake pedal under the drivers feet. Little kids also shouldn’t be handling lit fireworks. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
