Hi Hotties! Hope your holidays are going great so far. Lots of fun, lots of time with loved ones , and lots of time saying "no thanks" to fruitcake. We all know that being "hot" has everything to do with looking good and feeling good: confidence, energy and a killer smile are all things that amp up the value of your appeal. You've got all that down pat, so lets talk about your present job as Santa's sexiest elf.

For me, gift giving is a exciting, because I like doing nice things for people. I also happen to be a fitness expert, so it's natural for me to give great gifts that are fun, fashionable and often in an effort to keep the people I love around on this earth a little longer. The cool thing is, because of my profession I am privy to the coolest athletic gear and fitness apparel that comes out each year. I love it! This makes shopping easy, because I can give the "gift of health" and truly excite the recipients.


I put together a short list of my absolute favorite finds of this year. Most are inexpensive, and one is real expensive (yet on sale), so give em a looksy and then slap a bow on them. The recipients will want to yank you underneath a mistletoe for sure!

This is truly the gift of luxury. Not only can you do the fun stuff in them, but Sleep Number Beds actually make the act of sleeping fun!

Rules are meant to be broken. Especially really dumb ones! For some reason long ago a bunch of weirdos decided that celebrating holiday festivities required us to consume mass quantities of food and alcohol with reckless abandon. What the hell is that all about? What jerk decided that we all must devour every piece of cake and chocolate offered to us in the month of December? I hate that guy. Anyway! I say we flip those weirdos the bird and stick with these Ten Commandments of the Holiday Hottie instead. Make my rules your rules, and you will melt every snowman in sight! (And just to reiterate ... I'm the fitness expert around here. My job is to get you through the season feeling good and energetic, without gaining ten by the New Year!)

Thou shall exercise almost every day in December. Yeah. Yeah. You're busy and have a lot of shopping to do. That's fine, but even 20 minutes of vigorous exercise each day can stave off potential weight gain and give you the energy to survive the season with grace.

Thou shall say "no thank you" to 90% of the cookies and candies offered your way. I'm quite confident that between your coworkers, neighbors, family and friends ... you're going to have tons of sweet treats shoved in your direction. Indulge in a little bit of your favorites here and there, but take a pass on the rest.

Thou shall not make lame excuses to avoid exercise. Shopping, decorating, partying, and wrapping yourself silly are all pretty vital duties of December, but really ... they don't qualify as legitimate excuses. Take your gym clothes to work, force some huffing and puffing in to your day and be done with it.

Thou shall show up at parties with a healthy dish, so a smart choice will always be available. Won't your bosses wife think you're a doll for bringing a fruit tray! Find something you like that's moderately healthy and pretend you're being a thoughtful guest.

Thou shall stick to a one alcoholic beverage maximum at all parties. Alcohol is not only full of calories, it makes you more likely to eat a lot more calories. And if you have too much ... you'll end up throwing up all of those calories. Can you say "party foul"?

Thou shall not purchase nor bake unhealthy food to give as gifts. Face it. If you're going to be stirring up a bowl of chocolate chip brownies, the odds are you're going to eat almost as much as you give away. Stick with nonfood presents and you won't be tempted. iPods are hard to chew.

Thou shall be gracious when receiving unhealthy food as a gift, and then secretly get rid of it. Your neighbor Suzie knows you've been trying to lose ten pounds for the last year. What the hell was she thinking when she brought over a sausage and cheese basket?

Thou shall give fit gifts such as: sneakers, sports gear, weights, dance lessons and workout wear. Aren't you thoughtful! Giving gifts that promote health, fitness and fun are failsafe. You might even want to get your best friend or spouse a pass for a class you can take together.

Thou shall wear fitted clothing to holiday meals to prevent overeating. Unbuttoning ones' jeans at a party is just tacky, so wearing fitted denim or other firm fabrics may help prevent you from going overboard. This is a trick lots of folks losing weight use often.
