On Saturday, January 21 GNA presents the Fitness, Health and Beauty Expo at the Empire State Plaza in Albany.  If you're looking for some motivation to get back into shape this year, just read this amazing story of a Best Fitness instructor who transformed his body and life!

This little video was sent to me.  I'm usually the more conservative one on the show, admittedly.  But this cracked me up, so I have decided to break tradition and include this.  (Casey wanted it for her blog, but I laid claim to it first!!!)

It is ironic -- I could have told you those toning sneakers were a gimmick, but apparently it takes a lawsuit and the Federal Trade Commission for people to believe that simply wearing sneakers will tone you legs and gluteals without having to workout necessarily.  Hello!?

While the World Health Organization, the U.S. and other countries recommend adults get at least half-hour of moderate workout most days, a new Taiwanese study suggests just half of that will help.

We all worry about weight gain. Clearly, I don't worry enough to stop drinking the kinds of things that have expanded my mid section,  but it's not like I don't know I have to figure out a way to keep it in check. I don't know about you but I am just not a fan of going to the gym these days. It's hard enough to motivate myself to go somewhere I want to go let alone that place. So thanks to Reader'

Not trying to  beat this "Snowmegeddon Winter" subject into the ground, but I have to ask you one more question that bugs the heck out of me, and then I'll leave this alone for awhile--promise!

That Casey Danton!  Did you see her scathing criticism about those sneakers that supposedly tone up your glutes?  Well, I am the proud owner of a pair, and now she's going to get a piece of my mind musically--actually this is my very first video blog (and maybe my last!!)
