The bigger the 'why', the easier the 'how'. A lady approached me after one of my seminars recently. She wanted to tell me she'd lost over 100 pounds already by living a much healthier lifestyle, and therefore appreciated my message. She continued to explain how both her and her husband were diagnosed with cancer around the same time. They have three college-aged daughters, and … [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...]
We recently had a client return to training with us after a hiatus of a couple of months. She'd actually lost quite a bit of weight since we last saw her, so naturally I was intrigued. "What have you been doing? Have you been training?" "No. It's the diet, it just finally clicked." "How so?" "Well, you've been telling me for the longest time I should have a cheat day, and I … [Read more...]
I just got back from a nice long walk, and after eating a healthy lunch consisting of grilled chicken breast, wild rice, and broccolli, I'm recharged and ready to deliver today's content. If you've ever wondered how to get that stubborn fat off your belly, hips or upper body, you'll want to check this out. First, there's a couple of concepts you should understand. (1) Your body loses … [Read more...]
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein When I was 16 I weighed 120 pounds. What's worse, I was pretty much afraid of everything. I hated myself for that. "Why can't I be more confident?" I was high school swimmer, a decent one too. For a small guy I was pretty explosive. I could do a 50m freestyle in 27 seconds flat, and the 100m freestyle in just … [Read more...]
The truth about personal training in Toronto
Have you ever had an epiphany? By "epiphany" I mean a realization so powerful that it felt like you were thrust from the darkness of night into the clear light of day. It was a moment in which everything you'd been missing became really obvious -- all of a sudden. That's what I experienced in 2007. I was working for Extreme Fitness near Yonge and Sheppard. On this day, the gym … [Read more...]
