You two are so cute.
I guess I just need to engage my abs more, because my neck usually starts hurting after just a few, even though I don’t move my neck the way you showed, I keep it straight. Of course, I’m pretty scrawny (flat abs, but not too much muscle there). A few days ago my yoga instructor was showing us how to do downward dog on the yoga ball (hands on the floor, feet on the ball), and I was rollin’ all over! She said, use your abs! and my response was, I don’t have any abs! 
I love the ‘reverse ab (aka, donkey)’ exercise – I’m going to try that.
I’m still thinking on the RV name…
7:39 pm on January 9th, 2009
I just watched your latest show & I asked my daughters what they thought your RV should be called. My 25 year old daughter suggested The Renegade Brigade. We all thought that was great. I hope you like it.

Hi Kevin and Annmarie,
Always enjoy your short video’s.
I wanted to send my thoughts on the 2 Mexico dogs that Matt was taking home to care for. Bless you guys! You know they would not have had a chance in their struggle where they were.
I have personally cared for many types of cats and dogs over the years, and my thoughts are the moma has parasites from eating whatever she could find. So if you haven’t had her checked out, I would because that is passed onto the puppy. I was concerned for the puppy too if the moma was not lactating well. I have had success nursing diabetic, cancer, all to senior ages. Basically I will find a good dry food with a lamb and rice top ingredient. Iams or Science Diet are good brands. Try the goats milk for the puppy. I have had really good success with giving adult animals, cats and dogs, quality, raw meat as this is how they would eat it in the wild and it has the nutrients and live enzymes that they need.
Again, bless you guys for bringing them over the boarder and trying to help them live.
Take care,
Rhonda

Very cool RV you guys. We bought an older C glass a couple of years ago and it is great fun.
My thought for a name would be……
The Renegator tada
If you chose it, by all means come to Colorado and visit us and we will take you on some fun hikes in our part of the northwest of the state.
You will love hiking some of the Colorado Monument. And there is a great state park on the Colorado river to park THE RENEGATOR or you can use THE HEALTH RENEGATOR also.
Look forward to a visit anytime, even if you don’t go with the name. We will still take you guys on a fun hike.
Enjoy the RV, we know you will, it is a great way to travel and see this great country that we live in.
Love ~ Rhonda

Hope they are thriving.

I think The Chia Express will make a great name for your new RV.
People have heard of ‘Chia Pets’ and chia seeds are incredibly healthy for you. ‘NOW’ both fun and healthy…… there can be an RV carrying information out to anyone willing to take the time to listen to your message. The Chia Express!
Hope you like the name,

Some RV name suggestions:
Deep Fryer Inspire Flyer
Traveling Around Renewably Diet Information Source (TARDIS)
Hey we spent 7 years living in a converted school bus. It can be way fun. Something you might want to keep in mind… You can park and camp in any Walmart parking lot for as long as you want. It’s their policy to allow this. Not the greatest place to be, but way easy to set down in a strange town in the middle of the night. Plus the better ones have some decent organic produce.

I love your site and the energy you guys bring. The ab tips you mentioned were great, but the best part was something you said in an off-handed way. “Were your focus goes, the energy will flow”. Very true, and uniquely expressed!

A couple of questions:
1. I want to do a new year’s detox to get me started on the right foot with my healthy living goals. It seems there are a million different methods to detox; what method(s) do you recommend? I’m early in my adventure with raw foods, so I’m not 100% raw. I’ve thought about simply going 100% raw for a week as a detox (who knows, maybe I’d never go back). I would love to hear your ideas on different approaches to detoxing.
2. I recently read something about almonds sold in the US being required to be irradiated, with a few minor exceptions. Are the “raw” almonds I buy in bulk at my local health food store not really raw?? Do you have a source to obtain truly raw almonds?
Thank you both for an awesome show!! I look forward to all the exciting things you have coming up next year. When you take the show on the road, please don’t stop doing the recipe demos. I love those!
5:28 pm on January 10th, 2009
Since I cannot re-access the survey, I want to relate another idea I have for a place to visit: a gluten free oat farm and producer. I have been gluten free for many years and back about 10 years or so I was told that oats contain gluten and I shouldn’t eat them. Well I recently found out that oats don’t contain gluten, but they are often contaminated with it and that there are gluten free oats now on the market. Needless to say I was very excited. I do understand that oats come in different forms (steel cut and rolled oats) contain another protein that some people are sensitive to, but I don’t believe that I am and I am now enjoying oats again. Some people are sensitive to the steel cut and not the rolled, which I believe are easier to digest. In any case, I would love you to do a show on uncontaminated gluten free oats, how they are grown, produced and all about the different types of oats, etc.

The biggest mistake I’ve made with ab exercises of late is not doing any!! I like the look of the donkey exercise though, so I may reinflate my exercise ball and try that. I’m a big fan of exercises that work out lots of areas at once. It’s much more efficient that way.
Great show, great tips. You guys are an excellent resource for health and fitness education.

Hey there Kevin and Annmarie,
I hope your weekend has brought you much R&R after your long trip back in the RV, and in an ice storm, no less. There’s no end to what you’d do for your viewers. Just wanted to point out, if you hadn’t already noticed, the number of comments on the blog since you introduced your RV and pending road trip. Even on Ab Friday, most of your posters are still talking about the RV.. It’s like a virtual vacation in blah January for many of us.. your timing couldn’t be more impeccable!! And.. we’re having a blast. Even my husband has joined in to watch the shows lately and keeps asking when the tour of the RV will be on.
Don’t change a thing about yourself, Kevin. Your motivation, enthusiasm and zest for life are what keep viewers coming back time after time. You are different than the average health website on the net because you are not boring.. not dry facts and not monotone. I vote for you to keep the momentum going. I love the music at the beginning of the show, I love your intro and ending and I don’t think you scream too much. As a matter of fact, the world needs someone like you to scream out.. listen up guys, don’t be followers, start taking back control of your health. Good on ya!!
Follow your intuition, Kevin. It’s bang on.. and if you took a survey, I think you’d find that. You’re making headway in the health and wellness field and your audience will continue to grow. Your idea of travelling around the continent and videotaping your experiences is bigger than anyone in the raw health community has done before and its visible to everyone and anyone who wants to watch.
I love the quote David pointed out in an earlier blog.. “Where your focus goes, the energy will flow”. I also think that to be so true. Focus on the great year ahead of you 2, Kevin and Annmarie. You are going to have the time of your life, and we are going to have the most awesome education through you and the opportunity to connect as a community, no matter how near or far.
Live awesome…

My suggestions for the RV is “Renegade Raw Health” or “Raw Health Renegade”.

Thank You for the “donkey ” move, i have a ball and was building up my lower back to get sciatic under control….by rolling onto my belly and now I just have to move the ball in a different position to build up all the abs…this is an answer to my prayers…I hate those crunches on the floor..always hurt my neck and no results.YEAH!! I love my big, blue ball with sand in it..so i don’t lose my balance.

Hi Kevin and Annmarie!
R.V. name:
Living Foods Express!
Whatever name is choosen
must reflect what you are all about. Naming the R.V. is only
a start. I feel that there must be
attractive paintings of living foods
all around the vehicle with places
advertising your website and how
you can be contacted. In this way
many curious travelers will want
to find out more as they see this
catchy painted R.V. with a mission
of health! The cost of doing this
may bring great returns and hope
to many. Remember, you both are health evangelists!
Best wishes and may God Bless
you! Steve Cholewa
