We had hikers, bikers, runners, swimmers, surfers, skiers, lifters, teammates, coaches, garden-growers, trainers, tri-athletes, rowers, rafters, dancers, black-belts, skaters, rollerbladers, cyclists, climbers, bowlers, golfers, walkers, marathoners, yoga studio owners, family 5kers, home-run hitters, and so much more. We had kids starting fundraisers, kids outrunning parents, families just beginning to get fit, and families born to run.  The Hawkins family does it with adversity.

We PROUDLY award the Hawkins Family of Peoria, Arizona, our 2012 Macaroni Kid’s Fittest Family!

Their strength and perseverance amazed, inspired, and captivated us.  To say ...

We want to recognize two amazing families, our well-deserved runners-up, who portray fit families in their own unique ways.  Congratulations to the Davis and Scholar Family for the inspiration you have fostered in your own families, communities, and across Macaroni Kid!

A Nutritious Life is about much more than just eating right.  Whether I’m working with a client individually, preparing for a TV appearance, or writing one of my books, I always keep the eight pillars of a Nutritious Life at the forefront of my mind:

I’ve been following the Tone It Up fitness empire for the past few months.  At first I wanted to see what all the Twitter-fuss was about (seriously these girls may get more Twitter love than Justin Bieber!)  Turns out, their fitness philosophy really fits.

I turned on my new Striiv right before I took the dog for a walk.  I figured it would be a good time to log my steps.  It was after I returned home, put the dog’s leash down, and took my shoes off that I began to grasp the point of this device.  As I observed the number of steps I took around the kitchen, to the laundry room, and back, upstairs, downstairs…etc., I got it!  It’s not to measure the amount of steps you’re already ...

May is National Wine Month and is a great time to stop for a moment and ask yourself if you know your grapes as well as you think you do. Even without the added excuse to celebrate this occasion, more than 78 million Americans will raise a glass this month for taste and pleasure. While many wine drinkers know about the heart-health benefits of red wine, several are unaware that 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes can help support a healthy heart.

In fact, a Porter Novelli Styles study ...
