Read MoreWith January 1st fast approaching, I want to share the 3-step approach to setting goals that has helped me over this past year. We’ve all been there - we set goals, we try our best for a few weeks and then we give up because we get frustrated. It’s happened to me too - a lot. But something changed during the summer of 2019. I finally acknowledged that my success depends on how consistently I can do the things that I need to do on a DAILY basis. Let me share how I arrived at this realization with this 3-step approach.

Read MoreIn this episode, I answer one of my client’s question regarding training and soreness. She asked, “Should I be sore from my training? How do I know I’m making progress if I’m not sore?” This was a great question that opened up the conversation around whether soreness is the goal and how our CNS (central nervous system) plays a role in our performance and recovery. I also introduce the principle of progressive overload and why this is what we should be focusing on when it comes to our training.
Read MoreIn this episode, I answer some questions regarding my favourite exercises for overall health and I share my philosophy and outlook on nutrition and movement variability and how that affects our performance inside and outside of the gym. I also share what I learned as a coach by having my clients push heavy ass sleds back and forth last week. Lastly, I talk about the importance of mastering the basics when you’re a beginner in the gym and how that will help you build a strong foundation so that you can continue to make progress for years to come.
