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...]
We host internal body transformation contests among our clients once or twice per year. It's just a great way to make things fun, generate some excitement, and provide additional incentive for getting fit. Today's content is the continuation of last week's. It's a brief video interview with our Fall Body Transformation Winner (Boot Camp category), Rob Smith. Rob lost a remarkable 23 … [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...]
I'm back from my ski weekend at Horseshoe Valley. I had a blast skiing (first time in 15 years, still got it, baby!) and spent some time relaxing with friends. Four of us personal trainers hung around in the hot tub drinking beer. How's that for an image? Since we did enjoy quite a bit of food and drink, it's going to feel great to get back into my regular pattern of eating … [Read more...]
I did it. I stole her diary. She's one of our clients and she doesn't have a clue! I'm posting a few pages here today. Her fears, her desires, and her private, innermost feelings will be revealed here. I couldn't help myself. What am I gonna do when she finds out? From the diary of Anonymous, 12-01-12: Dear Diary, I've been feeling really good lately. Some days it's … [Read more...]
It's Friday and I'm fired up! I'm leaving for my Birthday Ski Weekend today. Since yesterday I've had the opportunity to contemplate on the significance of turning a year older. It also gave me pause to look back. I would say that most of the things I do on a daily basis would have seemed very far fetched to the me of ten years ago. Although you probably wouldn't guess it, I'm very … [Read more...]
Happy Groundhog Day. It's also my Birthday today. On this day some years ago, my journey from small to large to medium began. Thanks for joining me on the ride! Whether your goal is to be large, medium or small, I know you can get there too. In yesterday's blog I described Pareto's principle as it pertains to your fitness program. Today I'll share some thoughts on what I … [Read more...]
Are you familiar with the 80/20 rule? Sometimes referred to as Pareto's principle, it is credited to an Italian economist named Vilfredo Pareto. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pareto observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. You can spot this pattern everywhere. In economics, they say 80% of the population controls 20% of the … [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...]
