Jorge and Laura Posada are not the kind of parents who say to their children, "Do as I say." Their parenting mantra instead is, "Let's do it together," and the Posadas have always made good nutrition and fitness a core element of their family lifestyle. Fit Home Team is their formula for getting parents and kids off the couch, arming families with key tools for optimal health, wellness, and overall balance by offering:
• A simple guide to eating right• Nutrition-packed kid-friendly recipes
• Tips for taking the "work" out of "working out"
• Inexpensive seasonal activities for staying fit
• An easy-to-follow family progress chart
Sixteen percent of children age 2 to 19 are obese. To help face down this tragic national health crisis, the Posadas bring together everything they have learned from sports and athletics, along with caring for their own family, giving parents a complete lesson in fitness, nutrition, and the power of family unity, all at the same time. Fit Home Team is a durable lifestyle change that helps families get fit and stay fit.

How did you come to write this book?
I believe that I find a way to enjoy all the passions in my life at the same time. Food, health and spending fun time in my life are priceless and in my book everyone can learn how to do the same.
"The Posadas understand that being healthy is about more than just diet and exercise - it's about retraining your consciousness and your lifestyle so that healthful living becomes second-nature again."
-- Kelly Traver, MD, Founder and CMO, MD Health Evolution
"The stores are filled with fitness books but this one is different. The Posadas' perspective on healthy living, especially for kids, is very timely given the increased concern with the issue of childhood obesity. The Posadas provide practical and realistic advice in an entertaining style."
-- Bob Costas, NBC and MLB Network Sportscaster
"Just like baseball, Fit Home Team is exercise mixed with entertainment. The Posadas live it every day and I recommend their down-to-earth manual for healthy living to all families."
-- Mariano Rivera, Pitcher for the New York Yankees
"It would have been easy for Jorge to write about being in charge of home for the Yankees. Instead he and Laura have given us a blue print for making our homes a better, healthier place. This is a great guide for parents, grandparents and children as to what we eat and drink, how we exercise, and how to be creative in finding fun things to do as a family. Written with the same passion that he plays with, Jorge and Laura Posada have given us a special book for the entire family."
-- Billy Crystal
"Childhood obesity is on the rise, and Fit Home Team is a big-league ally in our fight to curb this alarming trend."
-- Michael R . Bloomberg, Mayor of the City of New York
