Summer is here!!!
Hi All,
Track and field season is done and summer is here and I am ready to start sharing my findings in the health and fitness world with my readers. Thanks for taking a look at what I have to share and please pass it along to anyone who you think might benefit from it.
In the last few months I also developed 5 different programs for the students in my classes so that they would have a variety of options to choose from in their training. This took a great deal of time and effort and I learned a great deal in the process.
The top program of choice, amongst the students, was a modified version of Joe DeFranco’s Built Like a Badass. (Thanks Joe for letting me share this with the students.) The 2nd most popular was a Spring training program that I designed for athletes getting ready for their summer sports.
There have been many times in the last few months where I have been asked do you have a program for this sport or do you have a program for that sport and I would like to take this entry to address some of the things that I consider when I am asked that question.
- What is the age/fitness level of the person wanting the program?
- What has that person been doing recently in their training?
- Is the person coming off of an injury?
- Is there a previous injury that might limit what the person can do in their program?
- What facilities can they access for their training?
- Do they currently have any limiting factors in their flexibility/mobility/stability in their body?
- How many days a week do they want to train and how much time per workout.So, what might appear to be a simple question about training, actually leads me to many more questions that I ask myself. Designing programs is an art and I would encourage you to know the source of your program if you are looking for a new one. Take the time to look into it for your Self. You are worth it.
Happy training!

A Few New Things…
Hello Everyone!!
I apologize for the quiet month…I have been busy with a some new ventures. I am doing some speed/agility training and consulting for the University of Waterloo Men’s Rugby Team. Also, I am totally revamping the Power Fit course at the school where I teach. I created a blog with the full details of what we are doing in the course. Feel free to head over there and use anything that you see. I am offering the students 5 different 12 Week programs that they can choose from once they complete 3 weeks of general physical preparation.
1. Power Fit.
2. Food Rules by Michael Pollan – Thanks to Scott Curtis and Shane Verbiski for sharing this book with me. It is an amazing paperback book that gives you some great guidelines to make healthier food choices. Simple, effective and informative. Well worth the read….7 simple words he uses to start. Eat food, not too much, mostly plants….a couple of the rules that I love are, if it comes through your car window it is not food and a third grader needs to be able to read the ingredient list on the food you eat. I will be using this a great deal for myself as well as students and clients.
3. The last update is one of inspiration. For all the soccer fans out there or anyone who loves a great story of people following their dreams regardless of the odds. This well worth the 5 minutes!! http://www.wimp.com/soccervillage/
My blog will be pretty quiet here for the next few months as I am heading into track and field season at school where I have a few commitments at the school, convening and photo timing at the meets. ( I am a computer geek as well…lol) The technology that we use is amazing. The camera takes pictures at 1000 frames a second. Check it out if you like. Finish Lynx
Enjoy the spring and see you soon.
By the way, if you come across anything that you think might interest me or the other readers please send it my way. I love learning and expanding my perspectives!!!
Cheers!!

youbars.com – This is AMAZING!!
Hello Everyone!!
I just came across this company (Thanks – Kenen Shadd) that puts whatever you want in your shakes, trail mix, protein bars, and cereal. They also use a lot of organic ingredients too!!
The BEST part is that they personalize the label on EVERYTHING!! I am so psyched to order some.
Check out the video clip!
Cheers!!
