Curious to know how celebrities squeeze fitness into their daily lives? Want to know the secrets of the stars? Bi-weekly our That’s Fit fitness expert Fitz sits down with the celebs we want to know more about, and digs out their great and not-so-great methods to staying healthy.

I recently spent some time with Shane “Scooter” Christensen, one of the multi-talented athletes of the World Famous Harlem Globetrotters. Shane played at the University of Montana, leading his team to the NCAAA tournament in 1992 and was twice awarded the Big Sky Conference Defensive Player of the year. With his combination of elite athleticism on the court and fantastic comedic and dancing skills, The World Famous Harlem Globetrotters turned out to be the perfect professional team for Scooter. Feature continued on next page.

If you’ve never been to see the Harlem Globetrotters or haven’t been since you were a child, it’s time to go again. The first time I saw the show was at the age of thirteen. This time, twenty years later, I brought my own babies. Four year old Ginger, and two year old Parker literally sat on the floor with their toes touching the court. I don’t think I could have peeled the smiles off of their faces if I tried. I also, was buckled over with laughter most of the night. There is good clean fun for the whole family….and then there is clean fun for the family that is legitimately GOOD!

The show is long, so you get lots of bang for your buck, and our buddy Scooter here is one of the stars. First of all, the boy is pretty. Second….he’s sweet, down-to-earth, athletic and one heck of a dancer. Everything we’d want our Globetrotters to be. I interviewed him before the show, but if I would have interviewed him after…I would have requested a dance lesson as well. For now though, you have this terrific interview featuring Shane “Scooter” Christensen on his training, nutrition and overall fitness habits.

You’ll also find out if Scooter will be the first Globetrotter to pose in the buff! Coming soon, you’ll see the interview where Scooter teaches me, your loving Fitzness trainer, to slam dunk. You’ll be impressed to know that I did, in fact, slam one into the basket.

So! Enjoy Scooters’ interview, and make sure you go see the World Famous Harlem Globetrotter next time they perform at venue near you!

**Thanks again Scooter! It was so much fun working with you!
