1) Fitness Photo - 2 Year Old In Training For Major Event

Lat week when I sent out my humorous (was that a typo?) email about stretching exercises for fitness flexibility - I got a lot of emials asking questions about the age range for people who can/should do a complete stretching pogram - some of you expressing surprise about my 2.5 year old, Darah doing the program with me.



Here is Darah - demonstrating the 'Butterfly' srtetch. The major event she is in training for is "LIFE" - thats right, her life, along with her big brother and sister's - (JoJo and Alexa) is a major event - just like mine, Jeri's & just like yours should be (& maybe it is already).

My point here is this - a kid is never too young to teach the ways of protecting the gift of life through fitness... exercise, good nutrition, etc.

Stretching is one of the best ways to do this especially when they are young - and the benefits they get from this are priceless.

Sports at any level are also a great way to help develop healthy habits. Alexa plays soccer and basketball (photos to come soon) and JoJo plays flag football and soccer - the photo below is from a travel team tournament we entered in Ormond Beach, FL - just a couple of weeks ago. They lost every game - but we took many positives from the weekend, and improvement is coming - another aspect of emotional fitness there...




2) Three Minute Fitness Video

Here is a short clip of me this past weekend on Jacksonville's WJXT Ch. 4 - The Morning Show - talking about staying committed to your program and goals (its applicable whether you are trying to lose weight or just get more fit without needing to lose weight). It plays in Windows Media automatically (internet explorer, not Firefox)

3) Fitness Fraud

Part of this entry has to do with the countless email questions I get every day about fat burning/diet/weight loss supplements and the dangerous 'gray area' in the vitamin/nutritional supplement industry:

About 5 companies (very 'popular' I might add) were recently fined multiple millions of dollars (and I mean Big Bux) - for all kinds of bad stuff - all tied to advertising lies, marketing fraud and flat out ripping people off in various ways.

I'm working on a complete write up about these companies and how this happens and will continue to happen for years to come - all at the consumer's risk!! This write up will be featured in the members area at Best Fitness Advice .com within the next week.


"Hi - This is Darah, Joey's youngest daughter. You probably already know that my daddy is one Smart Dude - especially if you already have some of his DVDs or you are a member of BestFitnessAdvice.com ---- Now, if you don't have any of his stuff - What are you waiting for?

He makes these things for people just like you - he loves helping people - and sometimes he works all hours of the night just to get an important magazine article done or a news segment - or writing plans for the next DVD series - or some other complicated stuff. (He does bathe me & put me to bed almost every night though.)

If you are not sure which DVD programs he makes - they can all be found right here:

Dont be like everybody else... Be Fit! And if you are already fit - Be Fitter! And start teaching your kids how to be fit, if you have any.

I write well for 2 and half years old, don't I?"
