The kids know what I'm doing when I exercise, and that's powerful. So don't just tell your kids to go play outside. Take a moment off your computer, put on your tennis shoes, hop outside and help them start their game and run off some energy.

You can't go wrong with some nuts. The key word is 'some.' Eat them one at a time, not by the handful.

A great way to get all the right nutrients is to make a colorful plate - mix of good vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein. If you notice all your vegetables are green, change it up and add another color for a variety of benefits in one meal.

At the end of a marathon, it's going to hurt whether you're speeding up or slowing down. You may as well push.

Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.

I don't care how much you're working out; when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'

I love to run, but training can be hard, especially with a family and a crazy travel schedule. I often do sprints with my kids, where they bike and I run along side them so we can 'race' each other for a quarter-mile or shorter repeats.
