Playground Workout

Spring is around the corner and it’s wishful thinking that I can train outside soon. You can still see snow in the backyards of this video, but if I wait for better weather, I’ll be waiting a long time around my neck of the woods. I know that lots of you would have occasion to … Continued

Challenging Yourself to Finish Strong

Remember Big Mike? We did a challenge workout here. Mike is a great sport. Mike also has an interesting story. He’s actually lost over 100 lbs, he’s got a perspective about weight loss that I will never have since I’ve never been over weight. He’s an inspiration really. Here’s someone that had trouble climbing a … Continued

I think we tend to over complicate things at times. I just posted another remarkably simple strategy for dealing with all the dieting ‘rule’s out there and … Continued

More Tips for the Human Flag

Decline push ups, dips, Bulgarian splits squats, inverted rows, squat jumps: not typical airport restaurant fare.   Except for this one day that my awesome business partner, Krista Kokot and I decided we should serve it up at a Vancover airport Bistro.   We were on our way to a fitness conference and had a … Continued

Sandbags Anyone?

I’ve never trained with sandbags. But I should. If you’re looking for something out of the box, if you’re bored with your same routine, this is a great option. Meet Travis Stoetzel…(did you see our head to head TRX Challenge together?) Check him out doing a sandbag workout here:

40/40 TRX Challenge

I love a challenge. So does my good friend, Travis Stoetzel. A head to head challenge is even better. So you can see that the challenge is 40 atomic push ups with 40 recline rows with a one minute rest. Take a look at the video:
