800 Rep Travel Workout

I was in Las Vegas  recently for the meeting of the minds with the top fitness pros in the US and Canada. I had four fellow Canadians here and we really enjoyed the LV weather and sights. Vegas is really such an unbelievable place. It’s like a total sensory overload on the strip. We were … Continued

Don’t Make Me Count Intervals

Here’s a great 12 minute video for you to follow along to at home. I suggest doing each set twice through and you’ve got a great full body workout plus you’ll really hit that bum and hamstrings in the second set.

25 Minutes: You’re Done!

Want a workout that will burn fat, build muscle and bring world peace in 25 minutes? Okay, it may not achieve world peace, but if everyone did this workout, we’d all be feeling a little more calm and peaceful. As you know I always preach high intensity interval training (HIIT) over long slow boring cardio … Continued

10 Pebbles and an Ipod

I was out with my dog on Sunday, enjoying the sunshine and planning my workout for after my dog walk. It’s always great to change up your training environment so that you come to your workout with renewed energy.

Cardio for Fat Loss?

There’s so much mis-information out there…. I go to a commercial gym when I travel, I notice that there’s a ton of people on the ellipticals, treadmills and bikes. Most have a magazine or they’re tuned into the TV. They’re barely breaking a sweat. I wonder what they’re doing and why they’re doing it…seems like … Continued

Body Weight Squat Challenge

If you’re interested in a full body workout done in a measly 3 minutes, then this ones for you. This is a squat challenge, but believe me, the squat is actually a full body metabolically challenging exercise that you’ll feel everywhere when you’re done. The title of this workout is a little misleading…you won’t be … Continued

Bum Tabatta

Here’s a cool circuit that we did at boot camp. I really shouldn’t call this a ‘tabatta’ cuz a tabatta implies that you get a short rest. In this interval, we do the timing of a regular tabatta (20 sec of work, 10 sec of rest), but you don’t get any rest. This is a … Continued
