Hey gang, I thought I’d share a special interview I just did over on another blog.

Kelly Olexa is the girl who got me started video blogging all so many years ago. She was my inspiration then and is still today.

Thanks for having me on your blog Kelly!! You rock!

Here’s the interview if you’re interested in hearing what I had to say about how I feel about Health, Fitness, Working Out and Nutrition:

Hi everyone!! I had some thoughts today while I was doing my hillsprints that I just had to share with you, about FAT … more specifically different kinds of fat and what it takes to lose body fat as well as the concept of cutting out dietary fat in order to lose that body fat.

Plus, a quick (but by now, super boring) update about the computer and what HP is doing lately (hint: NOTHING… as usual).

Check out my opinionated views on Fat and more here:

Don’t forget to check out Rob Poulos’ Fat Burning Furnace fitness eBook. It’s a great book… a bit unconventional, and has definitely tons of worthwhile concepts and theories about Fast Fat Loss.

You can go here to check it out:

Get Fat Burning Furnace

And, without further ado, here’s today’s Workout Song of the Day… this one is in honour of the hillsprints that I got under my belt today. I think you’ll be able to figure out the connection on your own, so I won’t elaborate!! LOL.

This is a great song for cardio though, in case you haven’t figured that part out yet!! ha ha!

Don’t forget, if you love it and want to grab it for your own workout collection, all you have to do is click on the “Buy” button on the sample player widget and it will gently take you by the hand and lead you over to Amazon where you can buy it, and start running and weight training with it blasting away just like I do!

That’s it for today, gang. Don’t forget Canadians, no overindulging on Thanksgiving unless you’ve scheduled your ONE cheat meal this week on the same day that your Thanksgiving feast lands on. Let’s practice our restraint, shall we everyone? No one ever got thin or fit by pigging out every time they have an excuse to.

Have a fit, fun and happy weekend, and we’ll see you soon.

Hey everyone. I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about a couple of physical syndromes that seem to be more prevalent in today’s society than ever: Forward Head Syndrome and Rounded Shoulders (also known as Kyphosis). My airplane ride a couple of weeks ago really got me focused on these physical issues and the more I remain aware of them the more I see them every where I go. Please watch this video, its an important one:

and oh, sorry, I had a mind-stall while I was recording and couldn’t remember the name of the back muscles in the middle of your back: those are your Trapezius muscles, and Rhomboids. So, yep, work your Latissimus Dorsi (sides of your back) and work your Traps and Rhomboids too, ok? Lots of Dumbbell, Barbell or Cable Rows and Reverse Flyes!! Lets get our shoulders back where they belong by strengthening the muscles that hold them back there. While you’re at it do some stretching for your chest so your chest muscles aren’t too tight and holding your shoulders forward. Stretching the front of your neck and strengthening the back of your neck can’t hurt either!!

Here’s today’s Workout Song of the Day… as usual I do my best to keep the song in line with the post. Anyone I’ve ever seen marching, in a parade or half-time at a football game or wherever, always seem to have great posture. Don’t they? Therefore, today’s song is called “The Marching Song” and its GREAT for cardio. It has a great driving beat to drive you forward!! Enjoy!

THE POINTED STICKS – The Marching Song

Don’t forget: if you love it, go get it. Just click on the Buy button on the player widget and it whisks you off to Amazon’s music area. Super easy!

That’s it for today gang!! Hope you have a great week planned. My computer is getting dissected again tomorrow so I have no idea when I’ll be back, but I hope its soon! Wish me luck!

A frustrating day today… I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle at the moment…

Do you guys pattern your weight lifting routines to incorporate balance within your body? You should!

Hey gang! Well, I almost didn’t get my run in this morning, thanks to my snooze alarm. But then autopilot kicked in and well…

Well, it was supposed to be my day to run.  Its hella-windy out there today and you guys know how I feel about running in the wind… but the snow was mostly cleared. Did I go?  Find out here:

So, yep, the scratch got itched… now what am I going to do about my hamstring? sigh… to be continued, I’m sure!
