Ah, Personal Trainers. Gotta love them… well, most of them.

A friend of mine recently had an experience with hiring a Personal Trainer (I think it was the first time he’d hired one too). How he felt about the whole thing made me really want to post this little diatribe for you guys.

I won’t elaborate here because I think the video is worth watching to hear what happened to him and my feelings on the subject.

I also address my OCD behaviour with my Inner Circle Mailings this week!! Free Stuff!! Its not a BAD thing is it? LOL. If you aren’t signed up and you like knowing when GOOD free stuff is available out there, then you should probably sign up. I like to keep my Inner Circle people fully in the loop when good free stuff is being offered by the fitness community.

Check it out!





And as always, here’s our Workout Song of the Day, chosen for its fabulous angst. One helluva good weight training song, I guarantee it!!! Enjoy!

RANCID – Salvation




BTW, you guys know that if you like this song its super easy to go get it right? Its like 99cents or some ridiculously low price… just click on this widget and it takes you to Amazon where you can buy an actual mp3 (not that confusing format that iTunes forces on you)!!

That’s it for today kids!! Have a super duper day and we’ll see you again very soon!

Hey everyone… just catching up, enjoying the beginning of summer in Vancouver. I recently was told some fitness information about HIIT with respect to lactic acid, the anaerobic energy system which I find myself seriously doubting to be true. I would love YOUR input, if you have any experience with or knowledge about the subject matter. Check it out.

If you have any information to share, please feel free to post a comment in the comments section so we can all benefit from your knowledge! THANKS!!!

Ok, so after an intense workout at the gym with my workout / spotter buddy today (my usual Friday habit), I came home and decided to analyze my form for pushups again (on camera), since seeing how bad it was last time I demo’d it for you guys…am I getting better? Check it out!

personally I think could stand to flatten out at my hips just a bit more, but I’m getting there… only 4500 reps more to go til I’m perfect, right? LOL!

and yes, I need some practice framing my videos when I demo!! Sorry for cutting off my head there a few times!! LOL

Hey everyone. So, I worked out at TWO gyms today. Why? I explain.

Plus, Squat Presses are the move of the day.

Well, losing the spreadsheet is making me feel a bit less stressed about my eating habits and the work I’ve been putting into them for the past year. A lesson to learn from my mistakes!

Plus, another “Automatic Moment” got me out there for some Hillsprints…

and, oh no! I feel a sore throat coming on and share an opinion about catching viruses and what role the gym actually plays in those possibilities…

Sleep deprived again (I gotta do something about that), so chose the gym over working out at home today BECAUSE I needed the energy I knew I’d be able to feed off from the other people there!! wow..

I still maintain that the gym isn’t my favourite place to get an efficient workout. We went during one of the most quiet times of the regular 9-5 workday and still couldn’t get all the equipment when we wanted it. I hate standing around waiting for some guy who’s got “just 3 more sets to go”.. who can get their heart rate up and keep it up like that?

Hey everyone.  So, I lifted today and … *OUCH* …suffered the consequences of DOMS during my workout!  Question is:  Did I love it?  or hate it? (I’ll bet you guys can guess the answer to that!)

Hey gang! So, I can’t stop talking about my experience at the gym! Here I just had to throw in my two bits about the Ladies Area in the gym as well as the “bad form” I witnessed while we were having our workout!  And then I trotted off to get some hillsprints done!

Enjoy!
