For a fitness first Saturday, it was my pleasure to welcome personal trainer, Susan Delmonico of SJD Health and Fitness, to the show. Susan brought up the topics of overall fitness and how important it is, especially as we age. We also discuss going through your cupboards and taking stock of the food choices that have been made in the past. From there, it’s time to put a new shopping/meal plan in place. Yes, buying fresh fruits and vegetables can be more costly, but there are way to mitigate your bill. Pay attention to sales, loyalty discount cards and coupons. Learn to plan your meals for the week based on what’s on sale at the grocery store. Plan for at least one of those meals to provide leftovers or the option for a second meal.
Once you get in the habit of meal planning, it really only takes 15-20 minutes to do. Finally, even if you do not have weights or access to a gym, there are ways to exercise your core muscles. Your core is all about balance and providing the base for all other exercises. Strengthening your core can be done by using the weight of your own body. You can work at home with no additional cost to your budget.
Actor - Writer - Director - Radio - Veteran | I like ‘guy’ things: women, sports, video games, dogs, drinking, football, shooting guns, war movies, action movies, sci-fi movies and playing the hero. I am a red-blooded, American male through-and-through. But, I have another side as well, a deep and entrenched creative side, which started with writing and evolved to include acting and radio. As a result, I have appeared in nearly 100 stage shows and been involved in dozens of motion pictures, including two independent features available on Amazon Prime.
I have also been in broadcast radio for over 20 years. Thus far, I have been honored to receive five GAB Awards from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters: Two for Best On-Air Personality and three for Best Talk Show.
It was only natural with these pursuits, podcasting would eventually be added to my plate. In late 2017, I decided to start a show with my buddy and co-host, Walt Murray, called, The Wilder Ride. We examine the films of Gene Wilder in the movies by minutes format. This has opened the door to meeting so many new and amazing podcasters from around the world and led to some amazing friendships! As Shakespeare puts it, “I am amazed and know not what to say!” Afterwards, my wife and I started a show called, 'The Marriage Fit Podcast" where we talk about our lives as a blended family. Our tag line is it's a show about trying to make things fit, staying fit, and not throwing a fit.
Of all the roles I play, though, I want to point out that there are two I consider more important than any I have ever played (or will ever play) and that is being a DAD and HUSBAND. I have four girls, ages, 26, 24, 23, and 21 and there is nothing I won't do for them. And, none of life's ambitions would be possible without the strength and support of my best friend in the entire world, my wife, Susan. Regardless of anything else, nothing will ever outshine them.
