Recipe: Blueberry Protein Pancakes
It is no secret that I love my protein packed breakfasts. My personal favorite is oatmeal, as it is easy to make, and you can blend almost any of your favorite ingredients to it. This allows you to create the correct macronutrient ratio depending on what your day ahead entails (ie protein, fats, carbs). The result keeps me energized, without feeling heavy- especially when I am almost always exercising first thing in the morning!

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.

Recipe even the kiddies loved! : Lemony garlic chickpea & grape salad
Once a week I get to prepare and serve snack to some wonderful kids at an after-school program in my neighbourhood. I have to admit it was a bit of a challenge at first trying to make healthy yet appealing food for 25 kids who, for the most part, are not used to trying different flavors (herbs, spices etc). Many of these kids come from lower income families and/or are not exposed to many healthy options or different varieties of fruits and vegetables local and fresh to us in Ontario.

What is Tabata training?
…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!* […]
