It can be very hard to fit all the essential pieces of the fitness puzzle into our time-crunched schedules. Too often we neglect certain fitness elements, and focus on only what we enjoy or have time for. There is very little we can effectively trim from a balanced workout without sacrificing results. So how can we fit proper warm-ups, adequate cardio workouts, challenging strength training routines, core/postural exercises, and much-needed stretching, all in the shortest amount of time? Combination training can help bring it all together.

Do this for 6 days and you’ve fit in more exercise than the average Canadian gets in a month. But what does it take to make this shift?
Sports Injury Warning Signs
We must listen to our bodies when they are talking to us. When we have pain it means our body is trying to protect itself from injury. No matter where the pain is, if it is muscle related or joint related it is due to one or more parts of the body not doing their job properly…
Whatever you do, don’t be a “johnny half rep”
Anyone who has been to a gym has seen it, you know what I mean, the guy who loads up whatever machine and moves it about 2 inches, thinking he is getting a workout. How about the guy that loads up the leg press with 10 plates per side and barely budges the damn thing pumping out a good 10 or so “reps”….
Not your best friend, But ALWAYS there for you
