Follow Up: Morning Cardio
Based on one of my recent posts, I thought this was important to share. There's no getting around it: To lose weight and keep it off, you need to exercise. But some days that hardly seems possible. Our days are overbooked already! Yet experts agree – exercise must become part of your overall daily [...]
Continue reading...Being Diverse as a Trainer
7 December 2010
This is for all you trainers out there who may be feeling the holiday lull. It is all about diversity this holiday season. Here are some tips for keeping your business successful as we head into the new year. 1. Be Flexible. As important as it is to hold clients accountable, it is important [...]
Continue reading...Crazy Schedules = Crazy Workouts
6 December 2010
That's right! I know and have heard it all for the past month about schedules being packed and no time for workouts. That is just ridiculous! No time for workouts?? Skipping your workout is NOT the right way to go. There are repercussions such as laziness, weight gain, low energy. Why would you want to [...]

26 November 2010
Ok ok, I am not going to post about how you should not have had that 2nd plate of potatoes, or how you could have done without that 2nd piece of pie, or even how you feel like crap today from guilt. Look, I know most people are going to indulge a little on the [...]
Continue reading...Cardio, Better in the Morning or Evening?
21 November 2010
This question has been asked SO many times, I think the answers now go in one ear and out the other. Honestly and scientifically, it doesn't matter when you workout, as long as you workout. 300 calories burned at 5am is the same 300 calories burned at 5pm. There are differences however. 1. [...]
Continue reading...Women, it’s Time For Pull-ups!
20 November 2010
As most women, I have always tended to be stronger in my lower body and always behind on the upper body strength. Then, I focused my training. Think of it more as a finishing training piece you work into our current routine. I didn't do pull ups everyday, I worked on the "other" pieces. Negatives, [...]

16 November 2010
Many people, especially around the holidays, end up sacrificing their fitness goals in time of family, presents, holiday parties, lots of food, office parties, and travel. It is SO important to make sure you take the proper precautions to avoid getting off track. Here are some tips you can follow to help you make it [...]
Continue reading...Happy Halloween!
27 October 2010
Ahh, October, the time for dressing up. Time for fall weather. Time for Halloween candy….or not! With all the candy floating around, make sure to portion control! I would never say you shouldn't enjoy a risky treat once in a while, but honestly people, 1 piece should satisfy that craving for Kit Kats. Remember, you [...]

27 September 2010
So, I know summer is over which is the time people try to get in awesome shape in order to look good at the beach! But you'd be surprised how many people get back into shape around this time of year. Whether it's because the kids are at school and they have more time or [...]
Continue reading...Why Do You Need a Coach?
19 April 2010
Would you put on a hockey uniform, step onto the ice, and play in the stanley cup final without a coach? Well if you value your life I would hope not. Coaches are supposed to be the experts for whatever sport you may be into. Same is true when it comes to your fitness. The [...]
Continue reading...8 Days Out….
26 February 2010
March 6th, the date of the most important 9 lifts of the past 2 months. So what goes on the last week before competition? The hardest part is making yourself take it easy, and I mean NO heavy lifting. You want your body to be prepared, but have that time to recover and be full [...]
Continue reading...My Weak Spot….The Bench
14 February 2010
So my Achilles heal of my 3 lifts has been the bench press. I always have the feeling that the upper body is weak, that it will never be up to the level of my lower body, and that it will take a lot of hard work. On my quest to get the weight up and [...]
Continue reading...Delays in Training are Good?
7 February 2010
So yesterday I find out that my competition is delayed a week, from Feb 27th to March 6th. This is a good thing, yes, because one more week of training means more time to boost up those weights and more time to get that PR. When setting up a training routine, you want to make [...]
