Each issue of Her Sports + Fitness is filled with detailed training plans, lots of nutrition tips, in depth profiles of active women and tours of fun travel locations. If you're looking for fad diets, or super skinny models then this is NOT the magazine.

Kristin explained that not only does Her Sports have their own triathlon team, they also have running clubs throughout the country. You can find Her Sports at events all over.

We opened the show with Pilates Expert Brooke Siler. She is the author of some of the most influential pilates books out there. She wrote The Pilates Body and Your Ultimate Pilates Body Challenge.  She is a veteran in the  world of pilates and she has been personally trained by one of Joseph Pilates proteges. She explained to us the difference between yoga and pilates. She also gave us some insight into how pilates gives you a great cardio workout while strengthening your entire body. Her Re:AB pilates studio in New York City has been around for over a decade reshaping the bodies of actresses, athletes and regular moms and dads. For more information about Brooke, her studio, her pilates trainer certification or her books please go to her website www.reabnyc.comNext up we had on Director Linda Burns and Andrew "Drew" Johnston, star of the new documentary chronicling Drew’s rise from a cancer diagnosis to him competing in an Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii called Living is Winning.

This is a great story - Drew is an elite athlete. He stared out as a competitive pro cyclist, but after a series of accidents and concussions, he was forced to put down his bike.

Drew quickly changed gears and found success and a new career as a triathlete. But 2004 brought devastating news for his family, his friends and his future. Drew was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and his body literally broke down.

But two years later, after taking an oral chemo called Gleevac, and continuing his commitment to a healthy organic lifestyle, rigorous targeted exercise and an extremely positive mental attitude, Drew is in molecular remission.

Today, Drew competes at triathlons and Ironman events throughout the country with remarkable results.  Drew's life story serves as an inspiration to others, to strive to be your best in every aspect of life and to never give up your dreams, no matter how distant they may seem.

 Their goal with the Living is Winning movie is to reach audiences all over the world, engaging them with the passion that exists in the sport of triathlons to encourage the passion that is necessary to continue the search for a cure for cancer. Living is Winning will entertain everyone from triathletes to couch potatoes with action packed race footage, moving interviews, lots of humor and a great original score. They hope to inspire every generation to eat healthy, exercise and become socially responsible through organizations like Team in Training and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

No Dr Fitness' Fitness Tips this week but you can get his tips every day at our new website www.wellnessminutes.com or on iTunes here. Or our blog www.drfitnessblog.com

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by over 3 dozen people who are interested in what he eats each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's eating exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy Twitters about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was  not helping out tonight. Be sure to check out Kathie's website www.getkathie.com. Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40.
