Fat Loss Accelerator Sample

Posted by on August 2, 2013 at 10:37 am

I’m on the road again. This time I’m in Lapeer, Michigan. I come here to film videos with my good friend, and ‘fitness son’, Brian Kalakay. He has a great facility for filming. With us this round is my Aussie/New Yorker friend, Kate Vidulich. She tries to fool you into thinking she sweet with her […]

Ditch the ‘Dreadmill’ Workout

Posted by on July 29, 2013 at 11:38 am

This is my good friend, Kate Vidulich. She’s a cool Aussie girl living in New York. (I have an Aussie friend, Lisa that has threatened to swim the Pacific and thump Kate if she loses her awesome accent.) In fact, I think I should adopt some kind of accent because they’re so cool 😉 Why […]

Stop Peeing Your Pants (Surprising Solution)

Posted by on July 23, 2013 at 1:25 pm

No one wants to really talk about peeing your pants when you sneeze, but you know what I’m saying… Now you may have noticed that I came out with a program involving jumping rope. I suspect you may have looked at me like I have three heads. You may be thinking: ‘What am I? A […]

Do you like to run, but your knees do not? Or do you want to get a workout in but you’re stuck at home? Jumping rope is a great alternative to running for a variety of reasons. First of all, it’s easier on your joints, especially when you do a two foot jump. You take […]

Jump Rope – Why did we ever stop?

Posted by on July 15, 2013 at 4:52 pm

Did you jump rope as a kid? Of course you did. We all did. Why did we ever stop? The benefits of jump rope are long and list worthy…   Easier on the joints than running, especially when you do a double foot jump you distribute your weight on BOTH feet versus just one foot. […]

Can’t Go Wrong Abs

Posted by on July 2, 2013 at 12:25 pm

To be honest, I don’t do a lot of ‘abs’ in isolation. I prefer to work my core by doing squats and burpees and push ups and all that fun stuff. I think that too many people focus on ‘abs’ and miss the entire point. If you’re training correctly, with intense metabolically demanding exercises, then […]

Volunteer Workout ;)

So much lost…. Calgary has NEVER been declared a state of emergency due to flooding, but this spring has been an exception. A team of boot camp clients and friends got together yesterday to head to one of the evacuation areas here. We went equipped with rubber boots, gloves, cleaning supplies and elbow grease. Holy […]

Suspension Training – Worth Trying!

Posted by on June 27, 2013 at 10:04 am

I’m not big on a lot of fitness gadgets, but the suspension trainer has me sold. I’ve been using one myself for years and in my fitness boot camps too. My clients LOVE it. The problem with a suspension trainer is so many don’t really know what to do with it. Here are a few […]

A Little Heavy? How to Modify Exercises

Posted by on June 27, 2013 at 8:02 am

  I’m all about a challenge…but to everyone that means something a little different. Are you carrying a little extra weight? I wanted to get a feel for what YOUR challenge would be like so I’ve been working out with a weight vest. I feel for anyone that has a bit of weight to lose. […]

Beginner Suspension Training

Posted by on June 24, 2013 at 9:25 pm

I don’t get excited about many ‘gadgets’ for fitness, but there is one ‘gadget’ that I use all the time, it’s the suspension trainer. I often set it up outside in my back yard. (You can see my TRX hanging in the back ground.)   Suspension training is the perfect body solution for all ages […]
