Anthony Field of The Wiggles was not someone I'd imagine would change my own personal level of fitness. He's a Wiggle. In fact, all of my personal training clients half-lovingly refer to him as "Damn Wiggle". Why? Because ever since I met the hot looking boy in blue, they've all been stuck doing lots and lots of pull-ups. They're all infinitely stronger with way better abs as well. I too, am fierce on the bar. Thanks Anthony!

And just FYI. Before Anthony began training like this he was a bunch heavier. Still handsome, but there was certainly much more of him. The part 2 video I'll be posting next week will simply make you drool. The boy looks wicked in his tight Under Armour shirt. Want to look that hot too? Take a looksy at this!

I recently went back to work with Anthony Field of The Wiggles, and finally have his wild new training tactics on film for the world to see. Think you're doing your best at the gym? Think adding more plates to the end of that bar you bench with is the toughest thing you can do? Think again!

I've trained with tons of athletes from around the world and have never seen any one of them (outside Cirque Du Soleil) perform such a show of pure strength as part of their regular training routine. Thanks to my first encounter with Anthony this summer ...my gym is now full of men, women and children of all ages Getting Strong like this Wiggle said we should.

If your workout shoe doesn't fit right, then your workout won't feel right. Get a good shoe and you'll have solid footing for all of your exercise needs. What determines a good shoe? Try these six things on for size.

Anchor For Your Ankle

The area around your ankle, called the anchor collar, should be heavily padded to prevent twists and blisters.

The Deal For Your Heel

Go for a snug fit around your heel and a high Achilles notch, the slight dip at the top of the shoe's heel, to support your foot and prevent it from sliding forward.

This week's featured celebrity is Sam Moran of the Australian band The Wiggles. Yes. The yellow Wiggle. Sam's been working with The Wiggles since 1998, when he began hosting the "Dorothy the Dinosaur Show" (a live tour). Since then, he's appeared in many Wiggly DVDs and on the Playhouse Disney series as Professor Singalottasonga and Dapper Dave. In 2006, Sam became the clear choice to replace the original yellow Wiggle Greg Page who had to retire due to a health condition. Having already understudied for Greg in over 150 live shows, this classically trained singer was ready to take the stage as lead vocalist for the group.

I recently returned from a trip to interview and do some fitness training with The Wiggles regarding: their fitness habits and their mission to promote health and fitness to children. With that, I had the pleasure of enjoying one of their live shows. Sam is awesome. I was a fan of Greg, and up until this point had not seen Sam perform in the yellow skivvy. He was flawless. Beautiful voice, fun performance, and great stage presence. In person, he came off as a 'regular guy'. Someone you'd expect to meet at a ball game. Pleasant, polite and really just excited to be doing what he loves to do. Like many, Sam seems to still be trying to figure out his perfect fitness philosophy. Definitely someone the world can identify with.

Fitz: What is your fitness routine like?

Sam: With all the traveling we do, it tends to be less of a routine and more of whatever I can, whenever I can.

Fitz: What's on your MP3 player?

Sam: Every piece of music I own is on my iPod. 40GB of music, that ranges from classical music to R&B, to Hard Rock and everything in between. You never know what you are going to feel like.

Fitz: You're the new yellow Wiggle. How's it going?

Sam: It is going fantastically. The audiences have been so supportive and wonderful. It's been so much easier for me to transition into the role when the audience has been so welcoming. I have spoken to families that say "Welcome to OUR family!" simply because The Wiggles are a huge part of their everyday family life, and that feels very special.

Fitz: Do you have a fall-back healthy meal?Something you eat when trying to progress physically?

Sam: Salads really. No dressing though. I always find that if you add enough healthy/tasty ingredients to a salad, then it doesn't need dressing.

Fitz: What is your favorite sin food?

Sam: Probably pizza or white chocolate.

Jeff Fatt is part of the Australian children's musical group The Wiggles. Just in case your've never heard of The Wiggles...they're the kiddie equivilent of The Beatles. They've sold a bazillion CD's and DVD's, and also have sold out yearly tours around the world. Their hit TV show appears daily on Playhouse Disney, and they're probably the healthiest thing Disney has going for them. The Wiggles sing about fruit salad, not cookies. They're shows and songs get kids up to move like a Crunch workout tape makes their Mom. Jeff is the Purple Wiggle and his silly shtick is that he loves to sleep. The kids go bonkers for it, especially mine. "Wake up Jeff!" is a classic of tomorrow.

Fitz: Tell me about your fitness routine.

Jeff: I don't really have any fitness routine, but would consider the concerts we do to be a routine in themselves. Apart from that, I really enjoy riding around on a bicycle. Not for the purpose of trying to get fitter, but just for the enjoyment of it. I will nearly always ride down to my local area to do the grocery shopping or for a meal. I also enjoy swimming.

Fitz: What's on your MP3 player?

Jeff: My iPod has just about my whole music collection. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Booker T, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Ray Charles, Beach Boys, BB King, Jazz/Blues albums featuring the Hammond Organ and lots of stuff from the 60's. I'm not up with most of today's contemporary pop music.

Fitz: Since you're the Wiggle who loves to sleep, I have to ask. How much do you get per night? Are you really a napper?

Jeff: I'm a very light sleeper, particularly on the tour bus. I usually get 6-7 hours per night. At my age, it's not that easy to sleep much more than this, so therefore I am a day napper. This really suits my job!

Fitz: Do you have a fall-back healthy meal? Something you eat when trying to progress physically?

Jeff: I don't have a fall back healthy meal, because I'm generally a healthy eater.

Fitz: What's your favorite sin food?

Jeff: It used to be Krispy Kreme donuts, but now I don't even touch them (they're too evil)! I can't get over the amount of saturated fats and high fructose corn syrup (well that's what I believe is in them). Some of my favorite sin foods would be Pavlova (an Aussie desert), kettle chips and Lindy's cheesecake in NYC. In very small amounts of course!

Fitz: Your shows are so high energy! How do you get up for it, when you're not in the mood?

Jeff: You can usually get the extra push from the audience. Everyone is just so vibed that you can't help but be in the mood.

Fitz: How many push-ups can you do?

Jeff: I haven't really tried....hang on, I'll do it now......I just did 20!
