When Covid first came to light, I have to admit, I didn’t take it seriously. I mean, I’m not sure anyone really did, for that matter. We went from Premiere Ford telling us to not cancel our March Break plans, to closing our borders within a 48 hour period. That’s when things REALLY changed Like many
Success, in of itself, is a matter of opinion in that what might feel like success to one person, might not feel like to another. When you are looking for success, it can mean so many things but regardless of what it “means”, I think we can all agree that when we achieve it, we
Summer is coming whether you want to admit it or not. Not sure if you’ve been looking outside your window lately or noticed that it’s still light at 7pm but you know what that means…..summer is COMING! And it’s coming whether you like it or not. Now I realize that everyone likes summer but they
Why reframing the word “goals” is the secret for success. So you might be thinking…..huh, what do you mean, goals don’t work? Well, in hindsight, they don’t especially if you think about reaching a particular goal and then wiping your hands of it once it’s achieved. That goal was only a means to an end.
Every September, it seems like the entire world revolves around the kids going back to school; whether parents are rejoicing in Staples ads (remember those?), or kids moping about in the school supplies aisle at Walmart, the kids are the focus this time of year. But what about Mom? Ya, what about her? Now that
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA) is the separation of the rectus abdominis; the outer most abdominal muscles, AKA the “six pack”. These muscles separate, for the most part, due to the growing uterus during pregnancy. The birth itself, doesn’t really affect this, in that, it’s more about the slow pressure, changes in hormones, posture (and a
Core results. What everyone wants at the end of a good push forward and decent amount of effort. It’s not unreasonable to expect it when you’ve put the work in but what you have to remember is….what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work the same for another. And exercise is no different. I can take
Fitness gets a bad rap because the industry has made it so. Images of people working on their 1 rep max, lifting tires, running in mud, pushing themselves to maximal effort – does not look appetizing nor motivating when you’re not an athlete and you are trying to stay “active”, never mind get fit. Back
Yes, this is true. If you want to train your “core” and crunches and/or sit ups are your go-to, you have definitely lost your way. All you have to do is ask any experienced fitness or health professional and they will tell you, the best way to get flat abs (or anything close to that)
Doing the same-ole same-ole and getting bored? Wondering why what you “used to do” is no longer working in your favour? Then it’s time to spring clean your workout routine! Working out, “training” (or whatever you want to call it) is primarily meant to keep you active, keep you healthy, slow down the signs of
Want your pre-baby body back?. Forget it. Harsh I know but the dreams and fantasies that one day you will slip into those jeans or dress, like nothing ever happened, isn’t. The reality is that if you were pregnant and birthed a human (or two or three or more), things won’t be the same. In
That’s the message of the day. Better yet, that’s the message for the rest of your life – just in case you didn’t know. A couple of weeks ago, I got a text from a client that another client (they train together), had a heart attack. I freaked. I mean, being in the fitness industry
