OfficialAs a professional athlete, writer/producer, and mom, I've learned it's a process to stay fit and healthy. At 6-foot-3, I know that beauty and fitness come in all sizes and shapes. I love to share the wisdom and tricks I've gathered with others, whether it be as an expert on Yahoo! Health or on my own site, gotogabby.com. In addition, I produce health and fitness products, such as "The Primal System" with fitness expert Paul Chek, and have hosted "Insider Training" on Fit TV. Formerly a pro beach volleyball player, I co-wrote "Big Girl in the Middle" with Karen Karbo about my life as a pro athlete. And, I've modeled for magazines such as Sports Illustrated for Women, Women's Sports & Fitness, Elle, Shape, Self, Harpers' Bazaar, Volleyball, Fitness, Vogue, People, and more. At the moment, I'm participating in Get Healthy Now on Yahoo! Health, sharing tips and ideas to help you be healthy and fit in 2007: http://health.yahoo.com/better-in-2007/get-healthy-now/ghn1
What things can you resolve to do that will make you a better human being?
I know it would seem obvious that I would just talk about eating and exercise in relationship to the New Year, but I believe it's really about the whole picture in regards to improving one's health and waistline -- not just about eating healthier and exercising more, but how we are living mind, body, and spirit.
It's more critical to figure out what you think is important to you in your life. What do you value? How do you want to spend your time? What is driving you -- stuff, cash, family, quality of life? Where does your health fall on this list?
So, when I ask how you can be a better human being in 2007, sure, I am trying to slip in eating better and moving with greater frequency, but we are just fit shells if we don't address the spirit within us. My body is only a vehicle, but my spirit is the true essence of who I am. If we can connect the dots, I believe that the ways we can be better are unlimited. Not to mention it can make things a lot more fun while we're here.
