Dr. Fitness seemed to have read the news this week and he had some thoughts about mindless eating from a study by Cornell University and he was freaking out about the increase of obesity related surgeries that are happening. The Fat Guy thinks obesity surgeries are good for everyone but Dr Fitness has a problem with people taking the easy way out.

This week the good Doctor was kind enough to come up with a few tips. The tips segment is now called Dr Fitness\' "Things You Can Do Today" to squeeze in activity into your busy schedule.\\xa0Here are a\\xa0few of Dr. Fitness\' tips...Number 1, always take the stairs. Number 2, set your watch to beep every hour...then get up and do some light exercises for 5 minutes. Do things like jog in place or squats. If you do this 6-8 times a day you have done a nice easy workout.\\xa0And Number 3, always park far away, the walk will do you good. Remember exercise has a cumulative effect every little bit helps.

The Fat Guy was\\xa0his usual sarcastic self... teasing each of the guests and especially the doctor. He was a uncomfortable talking about massage\\xa0 because he doesn\'t really like to be touched. And he was very intimidated by the food doctor because she obviously was the smartest person on the show.\\xa0
