[Disclosure: I received a complimentary sample of this product. I only post giveaways about products I honestly like, or those I think FatFighterTV members would enjoy.]

If you don’t have a full 30/45/60 minutes for exercise, do you blow it off completely, thinking why even bother? I can get this way sometimes, but I’m getting better at changing that! Today one of my BBFFFs (Best Blogging Fitness Friends Forever ) – the wonderful and oh-so-wise MizFit – talks to us about breaking up your exercise into pieces that fit your schedule.

If you haven’t been to her blog before, you must check out MizFitOnline – it’s fantastic and filled with so much wisdom and support every day about eating and exercising and life.

And while we’re talking about exercise, let me tell you about today’s giveaway – Core Rhythms dance exercise DVDs. The workouts use Latin Dance Moves to raise your heart rate and tone your core at the same time. You get 4 DVDs that include Salsa, Samba, and Merengue dance styles. There’s even a Quick Workout for when you’re short on time. All are compliments of Core Rhythms.

To enter for a chance to win, just tell me in the comments – are you an all-or-nothing exerciser? Or do you squeeze in 10 minutes of exercise here… 15 minutes there? What works for you when you’re short on time?

A couple of things I do but need to do more often – I take 10-15 minute breaks to walk around my neighborhood (if it’s not too cold!), lift some hand weights, or do a few Pilates moves.

Remember, there’s a different giveaway every day this week at FFTV to celebrate my B-Day week, so enter them all! Get Red Carpet Ready here.

The contests run through midnight EST this Friday, February 13 and I will announce the winners over the weekend. Also, you have to have a U.S. mailing address to enter… and a random number generator will pick the winners.

For those of you here in Ohio, I will be on ONN’s Health Journal today at :15 past the hour throughout the day! The topic: 10 Do-it-Yourself 100-calorie snack packs. If you saw the segment, you’ve come to the right place for more information – thanks for stopping by! If you didn’t catch it, no worries – we have the video it for you right here.

We’ve talked about the crazy popular 100-calorie packs here before. Yes, they are junk food. But if they are a small part of your eating plan, then you might as well save some money when you have them, right? Especially in today’s economy. Plus, if you make your own, you can throw in some healthy options.

As promised, here’s more information – I did all the math for you, so you can just pack up the snacks and go! Here’s what we showed you on ONN and how many of each one adds up to 100 calories:

DIY 100-Calorie Snacks

• Goldfish crackers = 40

• Mini Oreos = 7

• Mini Teddy Grahams = 36

• M&Ms (Plain) = 26

• Pretzel sticks = 48

• Wheat crisps (Pepperidge Farm) = 12

• *Pumpkin seeds = 2 tablespoons

• *Soy nuts = 7 teaspoons

• *Mixed nuts = 2.5 tablespoons

• *Grapes = 28

*healthy options

Of course, you can make 100-calorie packs of whatever you want. These are just some pre-calculated options to make it easy.

What do you think of 100-calorie snacks? Do you have a favorite? Make your own? Avoid junk food at all costs?

I confess – I indulge in the 100-calorie packs once in awhile. My favorite? M&Ms – 26 of them is the perfect chocolate fix.
