Our first guest was Dr Barbara Bushman the lead author of the ACSM’s Complete Guide To Fitness and Health. This book translates scientific fitness information into laymen’s terms. She explained the importance of exercise and gave great examples of specific ways exercise can improve your health and your life. This is a new resource from the American College of Sports Medicine that should be on your bookshelf.

We closed the show with registered nurse Candice Rosen whop wrote the book – The Pancreatic Oath. She explained the importance of checking your blood sugar levels in order to determine which foods you should avoid and which foods you should eat more of. In her opinion we are all pre-diabetic and we should treat ourselves as such.

Our good friend Joan Denizot came on to tell us about how her Super Sized bikes have helped someone lose 300 pounds. She regularly gets emails from customers who have lost 100+ pounds. Her bikes are made for people over 300 pounds and can hold someone over 750 pounds. To learn how to get your own Super Sized Cycles please go to her website.

Our first guest was someone we met at FitBloggin No Meat Athlete Matt Frazier. He is a vegan ultramarathon runner.Anyone who can shave over 100 minutes from his marathon time is a beast and this guy can do it without eating meat. That Scott Pilgrim movie was right those vegans are like superheroes. He’s got a new book coming out soon that shows you how to train for a half marathon and his first book helps vegetarians train for marathons.

Next up we had on Seth Goldman TeaEO of Honest Tea Dr Fitness’ new favorite beverage the half tea half lemonade lightly sweetened drink. Honest Tea wins awards for being green, for being healthy, for being organic and fair trade. But it is also delicious. If you are having a hard time finding it – it’s probably because Dr Fitness buys them all whenever he finds them. Honest Tea can be found in more and more stores but if you can’t find them near you Seth says to talk to the store manager and ask for it.

We closed the show with Shelley Woodworth from the Vail Valley Foundation and the Teva Mountain Games Vail which is happeneing June 2-5. This event is cool because it pits amateurs with pros going head to head in biking, running, white water and bouldering events. Throw in some free concerts, a little art and a bunch of free gear and no wonder more than 40,000 people will be there this year.

Steven Ferrusi joined us to explain the health benefits of his FitDesk.
