Yep, it is finally spring. Which is wonderful! It’s warmer, it’s brighter and the days are longer. Now is when we all start to stretch out our winter legs and arms and wonder if we’ll ever be brave enough to strut along the beach in our favourite bikini or boardies. Well, one easy way to tackle this issue is to get yourself a personal trainer.

Simple! As a Personal Trainer, I put together the best program for you. The program that enables you to reach your goals faster than you ever could on your own. And it’s kept interesting, fun and I keep you on track – no excuses!

As for diet, there is a great program run by Matt O’Neill, Nutritionist, that has made healthy eating for weight loss a lifestyle of easy eating, Check out www.metabolicjumpstart.com for your weight loss lifestyle eating plan. Of course, I will always be there, encouraging you to maintain and create healthy eating habits.

And don’t forget sleep and relaxation- so, so, so very important. I’m sure you’ve all read my emails about stress and the body’s flight or fight system. We’re in constant overload these days, which means we’re always in adrenal hyper-drive. This means our body’s metabolism is affected and we can’t burn calories fast enough – we just get fat!!

Just a few changes and a little bit of education and encouragement means you feel and look amazing.  And here is the beginning of your exercise education. Following is a very quick run down on what type of training gives you results.

Lose weight: hit the cardio mixed with high rep, low weight resistance training.

Muscle size/bulk: work the weights at mid to high range weight with mid to low range reps.

Strength: go heavy and go low reps.

But, for the best results, fast, get me on board! I promise that with a little effort, you will get a lot of results and you will learn so much about your body and what you are capable of.

See you at the gym!
