The Dangers of the New Snake Diet
Have You Heard of the Crazy Snake Diet? According to the Snake Diet founder and fasting coach, Cole Robinson, he describes this new form of dieting as an “evolutionary approach to eating.” Sure enough, the new diet has obtained its unusual name following the way real snakes eat-- not what they eat, but how they eat. Most snakes live off of eating one huge meal that’s packed with fat and protein and then don’t eat for another 22 hours or so. Robinson has created a diet similar to how snakes eat which involves fasting for “as long as possible” after having…

TRAINING FOR SENIORS, PART 1
So many people think that training for seniors is simply a matter of slowing down, using less weight, or fewer reps. There's a lot more to it than that! For one thing, basic mobility and balance such as being able to squat, sitting in a chair properly, or walking properly can often be a challenge. Some people might not be able to relate to this, but it's a fact of life. So there are three things that must be focused on. First and foremost is Breathing. Second is Mobility, and third is Balance. In Part 1 of this little series, I'm…

STOP DOING OVERLY-SPECIALIZED ROUTINES!
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…

HOTEL HIIT WORKOUT
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…

Everything Is Meditation
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…
