I'm still on a "Stop it!" kick since my last post. If you haven't seen the video, it's a riot. Watch the video here. With a mind to what you should not be doing if your goal is to lose fat, here are (in no particular order) 5 foods to stop eating now: 1. Bread. I never eat Subway sandwhiches unless it's a cheat meal. Why? One reason...Jared. You know him, he's the guy on the … [Read more...]

Happy Friday. Hope you've had a great week. Things have been a little hectic since I got back from Mexico, but I did manage to put together this brief video inspired by the aqua fit instructor at our resort. It's a quick, anywhere/anytime, no-equipment, fat-blasting workout I filmed by the pool. Take a minute and watch it here: Outdoor Workout You can use this when you travel or … [Read more...]
How do you know when you work too much? It's a philosophical question. It often seems like whatever I've got going on is reflected in my trainees' lives. If I'm having a busy week, so are they. If I'm feeling tired, everybody complains of being tired. I'm going to Mexico on holidays in two weeks and wanting to bring my best summer body. Guess what? It seems like half my … [Read more...]
When I was in London last weekend I had a chance to visit with my Dad and update his training program. For those of you who don't know, my Dad is an excellent triathlete who, at age 65, competed in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii last year, and finished eighth in his age category. This year, I'm designing his strength training program. This is his first time following a … [Read more...]
One of the best selling t-shirts of all time expresses itself with two words: S**t happens. If I recall, the ancient philosoper Parmenides said something similar...although he probably used different words. Bottom line, things don't always turn out as planned, have you noticed that? When a person I train demonstrates their ability to respond to an unexpected challenge, and to … [Read more...]

I believe anyone with strong emotional drivers can suffer from similar tendencies. I call it "all or nothing" sydrome. Those affected will normally identify themselves as an "all or nothing" type of … [Read more...]
Fitness Trainers Toronto: “Fat-Burners: Are they effective, or a waste of money?”
Back when I started working out I had a really bad case of Silver Bullet Syndrome. Allow me to explain. I was a small kid. A musician in high school, I used to wear my hair long, with a leather jacket and ripped jeans. Because of my flowing locks and diminutive stature, I'd even been mistaken for a girl a couple of times. I had zero self-confidence. My fantasy was to be big and … [Read more...]
