While at my annual fitness conference this year I attended a few sessions on the TRX Suspension trainer and the TRX RIP trainer which we have had in our studio for over a year now. The biggest and most effective tool I got out of the session is to get back to the basics of the movement. Couching clients to set up in the right position BEFORE the movement even starts. I started using these techniques immediately on Monday and man did it take our workouts to a whole new level. I have received 3 e-mail today (within 24hrs of workouts) letting me know how "effective" those same exercises were! We have been doing them for quite a while but when we focused on the basic body position and I can coach and help client visualise where they should be contracting, tightening....the exercise takes on a whole new life.
This is the exact reason why education, follow-up, meeting with peers and being open to learning from others is so important. I learn and my clients benefit so much!
This is just one of the tidbits of amazing info I gain over the 4 day conference in Toronto. Join us at Performance Fitness to "feel" the difference!

Where will you be this time next year?
I always have believed in setting goals and having a positive attitude and how that can shape you and guide you. Lately I have become even more aware of how our beliefs, attitudes and behaviours also effect those around us, not just ourselves.
I have people come to work with me all the time who are so unhappy with where they are personally, physically and spiritually. Their main reason for coming to me is the physical but we need to look at the whole picture in order to make someone truly happy.
If there are personal goals that you have had for yourself that you have just pushed to the side because of any excuse at all, re-think and reassess why. Why can't you do that? What is stopping you from doing that thing that you have dreamt of doing? Set personal goals for yourself and surround yourself with people who will support those goals and help you on your journey. You need to make a decision from day one to stick to that path, that goal no matter what! No matter what temptation gets in your way, no matter what someone says to you, no matter if you have a "set back", you will keep on keeping on to reach that goal.
Your goal could be to be in the best shape of your life by this time next year; you will be stronger, leaner, more focused, priorities in line and happy with all aspects of life. If that is your goals, LOVE IT! But you need to be ready for temptations, especially with weight loss goals. Our world is full of fake food! Its everywhere and you don't need to move a muscle to get it...just call it in or drive through, you need to be ready to stick to what you know is the right way to eat clean because you will feel incredible if you do. You won't have the disappointment in yourself, the physically feeling awful cause of the food you ate, the week or 2 it takes to get the weight back off so you are back on track and the loss of energy and motivation.
So set your goals and commit to yourself and tell EVERYONE around you because they will help hold you accountable as well. YOU CAN DO THIS!
I believe with everything in me that we have so much more inside of us to share with the world and so much unleashed potential. Dig Deep, Reach High and be the person you were meant to be. The energised person who loves life, is vibrant and who others want to be around.
You all have something amazing to offer to the world and I want to be there when you unleash it! I learn so much for my clients everyday and its a privileged to be in the position i am and work with as many clients as I do. I hope that i can motivate you to be the person you want and to accomplish some amazing things!

Join the ViPR Revolution!
I have told many of you about this new innovative piece of equipment that I have now taken the certification for and will be launching at Performance Fitness in a few short weeks. I spent 8hrs last Thursday and another about 5 hrs over the past 3 days learning and loving this tool even more. I was absolutely crippled from the workouts Thursday because I spent about 4.5hrs using it! So don't worry, I wont be launching the 4hr class till next year! ha ha ha

Do you realize your potential?
I have the privilege of working with a LOT of clients each week and meet new people all the time. Our clients are incredible;, they bring amazing attitudes, determination and a "can do" attitude. If you ask many of them they will probably tell you that when they are driving to the studio they may not feel like they have a "can do" attitude but by the time we get going, they are "there".
Many times when I tell a client what exercise I have planned for them, they will say "I can't do that!" or "I haven't done that in years" but when its time to grit and go....they KILL it!! I LOVE being able to show people a glimpse into their potential.
SO often we just assume we can't do things, with so many excuses as to why BUT with the right attitude and the willingness to try...YOU CAN!
Think about something you have thought about in the back of your mind and would love to do it but just pushed the thought away because you think "no, I can't do that, there is no point in trying"....and lets DO IT!
Set goals, train properly and think positively!
YOU CAN AND YOU WILL!

Oils and Their uses- Inform Yourself & Reap the benefits of Healthy fats
Check out this link on my website. There is a PDF 2 page document from Nature's Emporium that explains which oils should be used for which cooking, what is best for high heat and it also explains what happens if you use the wrong ones!
Don't loose the health benefits of your oils by using the wrong ones. Be informed.
