We secured a TRX on one of the beams in our North Vancouver store and I have now worked out with it twice. I did a chest workout and a back workout, much to the surprise of many little muscles that I did not know existed. I did fairly simple motions, such as chest press, fly’s, [...]
I used to think that water is water. Dasani, Aquafina, Ethos, tap water, Britta filtered water, it’s all the same, right? Well ok, maybe bottled water is a bit better because it’s cleaner. Right?

It pulls you out of your comfy, cozy bed at 7:30am to go for a run in the bitter cold; it allows you to push through that 10th rep as your muscles are trembling and burning with fatigue; and it pushes you to start a fitness routine when you are out of shape and have so far to go.
