What did I just see at the gym? We talked about this earlier this morning. I was at the gym yesterday and I saw a guy standing on a step block doing calf raises. Sounds normal, right? NO! This guy had some other dude sitting on his back, like he was giving him a piggy-back ride! It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! How do you even ask your buddy to sit on your back in the middle of a very crowded gym? He just sat on his back like he was riding a donkey. (Which apparently he was!) Is this entirely too weird or am I overreacting?

If you remember, we had her on a few weeks ago for her book "Food Cures" and we got so many e-mails and calls that we had to have her on again. She is on Shaq's TV show which premiers at 9:00 on ABC. If you want more info on her, go to http://www.joybauernutrition.com/
