I wanted to contribute something meaningful as my first post. I can’t think of anything more important than shedding some light on what I feel is one of the biggest tragedies in the North American culture; Childhood Obesity.

Ask yourself these rhetorical questions. Would you break a date or appointment with someone who was important to you? Would you excuse yourself for being late for work just because you didn’t feel like going on time?

Recently a close relative of mine was diagnosed with cancer. Less then 1 month from that date, he underwent a 22 hour long operation, nearly costing him his life. Not only this massive operation for him to overcome, but after healing he will have to go through radiation therapy, multiple checkups, medications, and just hope it doesn’t come back.

I get asked this question daily by customers coming into the Langley store. Maybe I look like I know what I’m doing, or maybe people recognize me being a certified fitness trainer (ISSA) who “Practices what he preaches” Here it is the way I train…
It’s that time of year. That time of year where most of us are talking about what our New Year’s resolutions “were” – you know those goals that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year with the best of intentions. It’s now a quarter of the way through the year and either [...]
What are you doing for your core stability today? When we use the term “core stability” we are referring to the active recruitment of your deep core muscles. These muscles, different from the external muscles often associated with the venerable “Six-pack” abs (rectus abdominis, external/internal obliques), are used for strengthening the lower back, stabilizing the [...]
