Building muscle mass is something that often eludes people. With so much information out there online, from friends, etc. it's very difficult to know what to do. I guess it's times like these that I'm glad I grew up and started training long before the existence of the internet. Back in the 80s when I was a teenager starting to workout, it was really very simple. You read magazines, books, or you had a coach. Luckily I had all three. And at that time, people writing books or magazines were trusted authorities who knew their stuff. Some of the garbage…

Carbs are the enemey right? I mean everyone knows that. It's just something that everyone accepts. Also we need to hundreds of grams of protein per day right? That's another "fact" that everyone seems to accept. Not to mention other "facts" like everyone needs to train on over-specialized training programs involving training only one or two muscles per day. Or the one about pre-workout drinks that are loaded with caffeine. Sure! That's the way to good health. Eat tons of protein and fat, cut your carbs out, and take drugs!   What would you say if I told you that almost all of…

You may have seen people in gyms or in books, magazines, Youtube videos, etc. who practice specialized routines where they’re only training one or two muscles per day and they’re doing four, five, or more (different but very similar) exercises for each muscle group. Then they have to go to the gym almost every day in order to train all the muscles in the body. These workouts and exercises are inefficient, ineffective, require an enormous amount of time, AND certainly not much fun. Some people mistakenly refer to workouts of this type as “Toning Workouts”. Others refer to them as…

I look forward to sharing my story. I hope that you will enjoy getting to know me better.

I hope everyone enjoyed their long wekend. It was Family Day, Heritage Day, and Islander Day for the various Canadian provinces, and it was President's Day for the USA. Anyway we went out of town and stayed overnight at The Americana Waterpark which was a blast! As usual, I woke up early and decided to workout. However since I realized the fitness room wasn't open at that early hour, I chose to insead workout right in the hallway of my hotel room! It isn't necessary to have a ton of equipment or even ANY equipment to have a great workout.  Check…

Many people think of meditation being something that must be done in a quiet room with incense burning and Buddhas. And while this is a form of meditation, it certainly isn't the only one. Basically anytime you're doing something with mindfulness, awareness, and focus, paying attention to things like your breathing and body position, you're meditating! Whether it's moving meditation practice like Qigong or whether you're doing more conventional exercise such as Planks, Squats, Running, etc, it's ALL meditation! And thinking of exercise in this way helps to have it make sense. It's not something you turn on for certain exercises and…

You may have heard about the popularity of the Mediterranean diet for improved physical and mental health. But, do you know what specific factors or nutrients in this specific diet are the ones that are making such a big difference? What do the foods that are commonly found in the Mediterranean diet all have in common that other foods may not? Studies have shown that, in fact, there are specific nutrients in these foods that work to improve brain health. This means that instead of relying on a specific diet such as the Mediterranean diet to stay healthy, you may focus…

Try this exercise! It's a combination of 180 degree jumps and the BOSU. Great for explosive strength, coordination, core strength, and more!  

This is a tough finisher! It's a Ladder superset. What that means is we'll take two exercises. In this case, it's BOSU Jump Squats and Kettlebell Swings. We start with 8 reps of each. THen we go to 7 of each. Then 6,5,4,3,2, and finally 1. There are no breaks between exercises. Just the time it takes you to walk to the appropriate station.  

Okay. This is not exactly 100% bodyweight. I did throw in an exercise with the Bodybar, but that can be replaced or just eliminated if you don't have one. This is a HIIT Circuit workout consisting of 7 exercises. Each exercise is to be performed for 30, 45, or 60 seconds of work depending on your fitness level. And the entire circuit is done between 2 and 4 times again depending on your level. It's a tough one, but very effective!

Try this Christmas HIIT workout to melt off those pounds!

This is an excellent exercise with the Battle Ropes! It will train the entire body and help develop total body connection and coordination. Watch the video to learn more! For more information about In-Home or Online Personal Training, Click Below CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

It's far more realistic to have a simple set of rules to follow rather than an overly structured meal plan. This is more realistic as well as sustainable for the long term. Watch the video for a more detailed description of each rule. But for a quick reference, here they are! Drink 8 or more cups of water per day Use a Multi-Vitamin 30 In 30 Greens For Grains Use your hand to measure your portions Have a weekly cheat meal For more Information about In-Home or Online Personal Training, Click Below CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

Today I have two structural exercises that can greatly improve your fitness. Body coordination and connection, proper breathing, rooting, all benefit from these. The first exercise is freehand and the second is with equipment. Either a Bodybar, Sledgehammer, or if you happen to have them, a heavy sword, macebell, or warhammer!

This is the first and most important form in the Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) system. Although it may appear simple and of course, not very flashy, there are many many benefits. Centreline control and awareness, forward energy, relaxed power, sensitivity, rooting, balance, and more. The practitioner who does not spend a great deal of time on this form will be building a house on a poor foundation. Take a look!
