Have 20 minutes and $15.00?

Jillian Michaels hasn't won more seasons of the Biggest Loser than not by accident. The woman knows how to get results! Have 20 minutes and $15.00? Grab your kids and a copy of her DVD '30 Day Shred' for $15.00 ($8.99 on Amazon.com) and get moving!

My two year-old LOVES to do the jumping jacks, my 6 year-old LOVES the plank jacks, my 7 year-old LOVES the oblique twists, and I LOVE the way I look 30 days later (no kidding - you will notice a difference in just weeks). There is something for everyone I promise and even if you can't do it all you will get moving and spend some quality time with your children! Twenty minutes isn't too much to ask and your body and your children will thank you! Now get some water and get moving!!

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

This one is simple. If your children see YOU drinking water they are more likely to grab water than a coke. If your children see YOU snacking on vegetabels, fruits, or trail mix they are more likely to do the same. If instead of sitting in front of the television YOU get out and roller blade, play tennis or wiffle ball, or even jump some rope they are more likely to do the same. SHOW your children how to be active, healthy, and fit.

*Make water your drink of choice.
*Snack on foods that do your body good like fruits, vegetables, trail mix, yogurt.
*Eat fish at least once a week. A tuna sandwich counts!
*How about good old fashioned oatmeal or cream of wheat for breakfast. Cheerios or Kashi are a good choice for the time challenged.
*A few activities to enjoy (your kids will LOVE them as well): jump rope, wiffle ball, roller blading, tennis, or just ride your bikes!

Remember, your children are ALWAYS watching you! Make your actions speak louder than your words!
