The adjective "southern-fried" usually indicates something unhealthy. So what's up with the title of this show? Isn't "Southern Fried Fitness" an oxymoron? Not when Louisiana-born culinary entrepreneur Robin Shea is involved. Her goal is to teach people about what she calls the Southern Fried Fitness Lifestyle, which features an 80-20 split -- living a healthy lifestyle 80 percent of the time and enjoying guilt-free Southern indulgences -- even fried foods -- the remaining 20 percent. Shea sees it as the perfect blend of Southerners taking pride in their heritage while forming a new commitment to a healthier, balanced lifestyle.
