Workout Of The Day – Progressive Circuit

2013-07-18T10:00:23+00:00|Blog, Exercise, Workouts|

Let’s get right to the point. This is a killer workout. I made my bootampers last week and as much as they may have hated it, and me at the time, they all loved it and said it was one of the most complete workouts they had done in a while.. Try it out. I’d suggest doing it with a buddy or a group as it’s pretty challenging and takes some time to complete (about 40minutes) but is well worth the effort in the end for the results it brings!

Circuit Training – Beginner to Advanced Levels

2013-01-08T14:51:35+00:00|Blog, Exercise, Media Collaborations|

I recently had the privilege of contributing a full body circuit routine to a great new health and wellness site called Lifestyle Videos. I think these exercises will help push your fitness to the next level in the new year.

Here I take you through Circuit Training. Applying circuits — which is a series of exercises back to back, is both time efficient and requires little space or equipment.

I show how beginners to advanced fitness levels can target core, upper and lower body in this series. Exercises include: the push up, straight arm plank, forearm plank and squat.

Once you master this circuit you can find more on health, wellness and fitness on lifestylevideos.com or find me at Justgetfit.ca

Interval Training : What is it? And a workout for you to try..

2012-08-12T16:29:56+00:00|Blog, Exercise|

Interval training is a type of physical training that involves bursts of high-intensity work interspersed with periods of low-intensity work. The high-intensity periods are typically at or close to near-maximum exertion while the recovery periods may involve either complete rest or activity of lower intensity.

Exercise for Disease Prevention

2012-06-27T19:01:46+00:00|Blog, Exercise|

A big reason why I chose my field of expertise -as both a fitness professional and holistic nutritionist, is to have people realize that our overall level of health is the result of many interacting factors of such as, physical activity (or lack of), diet, environment & stress. Yes genetics plays a part in predisposing us to certain conditions BUT as one of my professors engrained in my mind so wisely: “Genetics loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.” So why not make our own health a priority through wise choice and practice- two factors we have most control over.

This study, being conducted as we speak, is a perfect example of what I am speaking of: Exercise studied as breast cancer prevention

Q & A – Eccentrics or Hot Yoga for my body type? (from a longtime hockey player)

A girlfriend of mine, who I played hockey with and who went on to play at almost every level below the National team, sent me an email with this question. I thought it would be a worthy one to share with all of you especially since I am big on individualized training, and with there being so many different fitness trends and classes out there.

What is Tabata training?

2012-04-24T23:36:48+00:00|Blog, Exercise|

…Very simple I said, it’s the best bang workout for your buck

That’s what I responded when my bootcamp participants inquired about what new “recipe” (as they call my workouts) I’d cooked up this time! Tabata training is simple indeed, yet quite intense . Here’s how it goes: 20 sec of all out work (any exercise that will get your heart rate up like jumping jacks, burpees, push ups…), followed by 10 sec of recovery. Repeat 8 times, for a total of 4 minutes. Yeah that’s right the actual Tabata training regimen only lasts 4 minutes.

Here’s a simple example of a tabata workout you can try right at home since no equipment is needed, and trust me you will get your heart rate up there I assure you!* […]
