Wherever You Are, Be There
by Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn motivational speaker and authorOne of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to a create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.

While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office. And when we are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home.

We go through the day without really listening to what others are saying to us. We may be hearing the words, but we aren’t absorbing the message.

As we go through the day we find ourselves focusing on past experiences or future possibilities. We are so involved in yesterday and tomorrow that we never even notice that today is slipping by.

We go through the day rather than getting something from the day. We are everywhere at any given moment in time except living in that moment in time.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are. It is developing a unique focus on the current moment, and drawing from it all of the substance and wealth of experience and emotions that it has to offer. Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset. Lifestyle is listening to silence. Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of what we are and of what we are in the process of becoming. Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living well.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Here is some  information on our Philosophy of Health from our Personal Training Vancouver website:

Our Philosophy of Health, Fitness and Performance

Mission Statement : To bring out the best in our students/clients and ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually in the long term through health, fitness, mixed martial arts and personal development.

Our goal is to provide holistic approach to fitness, health and performance improvement. By working with an individual, we can design a balanced, comprehensive and specific program to develop the mind, body and spirit to the highest level.

Since lack of mental discipline, skills and knowledge are often the key factors in people not getting the results they desire, we will develop these essential skills with a variety of tools depending on the individual.

The name of the game is results. We will demonstrate results objectively with measurements, pictures, weight and body fat logs, objective performance measures ( ie. max weight lifted, max # of reps in a determined period of time of a particular exercise for a particular area and quality), and various endurance and strength tests.

We view the body as a temple and we want to promote clean habits and abstain or limit things that detract from our goals and potential.

Personally, as a Christian, and having a respect and understanding for a variety of perspectives, I want to evolve our connection with our body/temple where God/holy spirit can reside within us and promote personal development. Regardless of whether you are a believer or not, a strong mind/body connection is typically a positive and a worthy goal and endeavour.

Strength and Conditioning 2We can create a personalized program for you to help you reach your goals. We will help you with your Fitness, Weight Loss, performance improvement, toning and strengthening, metabolic improvement and confidence goals. Nutritional counselling is available. Fitness Vancouver, Personal Training Vancouver, Strength and Conditioning for MMA Vancouver, it’s time to get started.

 

 

Welcome to Vancouver’s new Strength & Conditioning classes for MMA and Fitness at Posener’s Pankration/MMA and Muay Thai. First and foremost, strength and conditioning is coming to the forefront of MMA and Kickboxing training. Fighters and trainers alike are realizing that to bring an athlete to their highest level, they need to train (in an educated fashion) with resistance, or, weights. Specifically, by engaging the Central Nervous System (“CNS”) through the big lifts such as the Deadlift and the squat, you can achieve much greater overall muscle recruitment at will.

 

 

This ability is favourable in combat situations because greater muscle recruitment translates to greater force and power exerted, over a longer period of time and with less perceived effort. The focus is to train anaerobically and/or metabolically, where anaerobic means “without oxygen,” and metabolic training means “completing structural and compound exercises with little rest in between exercises in an effort to maximize calorie burn and increase metabolic rate during and after the workout.” Choosing these training principles for MMA leads to optimal muscular endurance as well as a stronger central nervous system, so that the greatest force available to the fighter can be utilized, without gassing them before the fight has gone the distance. In later classes, we will be utilizing a specialized computer software to track fighters statistics.

 

 

These stats are including but not limited to: VO2 Max, Heart Rate Max, 1 Rep Max (for multiple lifts), Resting and Working Heart Rate, Progressive Overload progress and injuries (if any). We will also monitor basic strengths and weaknesses so we know what to work on and how to improve each fighter and student individually. With this information, there will be more opportunity for advancement, especially if the individual opts for one on one, personal training.

 

 

We will be putting tools to use such as: Kettlebells, Barbells, Dumbells, Plyometric boxes, Resistance bands, Heavy bags, Thai pads, and sometimes simply our own bodyweight, to achieve this goal. Our program is for the athlete, competitor and fitness enthusiasts alike. It is for men and women looking for a fast and efficient path to fat loss, better body composition and physique toning/sculpting, improved energy and metabolism and confidence.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you about my experience with Gus’s strength and conditioning class.
I’ve been taking Gus’s strength and conditioning class for the last 8 months and I’m the healthiest I have ever been. His classes are geared towards MMA but even as a non practitioner I’ve benefited greatly. I’m a beginner when it comes to strength and fitness but I found the classes easy to follow and Gustavo’s instructions clear and concise. The class has motivated me to eat healthier and even quit smoking. Thank you Gus and Posener’s Pankration!

Here is some information on our programs:

We offer a unique system of fitness training for a variety of goals incorporating the tried and true basics with the most innovative, recent and effective fitness training methods. Our background as MMA and fitness experts puts us in a unique position to provide a holistic, integrated, and balanced approach to your fitness needs and personal development goals.

We feel a good combination to maximize your mma and/or fitness goals is to do a combination of group classes, either in the strength and conditioning classes or the mixed martial arts or Cardio Muay Thai classes, and personal training. The personal training can go into greater depth on skill development of fitness, mixed martial arts and lifestyle skills, which include diet and self discipline goals.

Motivation Article: The Two Choices We Face: for Personal Training Vancouver

Motivation Article: The Two Choices We Face: for Personal Training Vancouver

The Two Choices We Face
by Jim Rohn
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.

Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of whom and what they have become.

Is Stress Making you Fat for Personal Trainer Vancouver

Is Stress Making you Fat for Personal Trainer Vancouver

Is Stress Making You Fat? Follow this Action Plan

personal trainer vancouver

Recently a very successful colleague of mine attended my sold out BioPrint seminar in Montreal. Despite the fact she knows very well what to do, and how to eat, she has been gaining fat at a consistent pace over the last few years. The irony is that she has record results in body composition transformation in both physique competitors and actors. She actually is one of the mentors for that goal that I recommend my students to follow.

Why the weight gain?

She is a very driven woman who embarks in one project after the other. She has made her career a priority. Single, she has loads of time to dedicate to her business. Her health has been put on the back burner. Workouts and meals are skipped, prioritizing work over taking care of the temple.

The reality is that you can’t do it all. There is always going to be more work, more projects.

Here is what I suggested for an action:

1. Read The One Thing, and APPLY the knowledge gained. Knowledge not applied.

2. Write a daily grateful log, as I advise in this article. What you appreciate appreciates!

3. Do 4 hours of just straight plain fun. The fun has to be without purpose, just pure unwinding. Example, go play in the park with your nephews. Go salsa dancing. As Steven Covey pointed out: no one on their death bed wished they had spent more time at the office.

4. Cut back, cut back, cut back. Ask yourself this question: if you a person dear to you had fallen ill and you had to take care of them, what would you cut back on? That is the stuff you don’t really need to do; check it off your list.

5. Establish the difference between being busy and being productive. Being busy makes you feel good, being productive gets you to enjoy greatness.

6. Don’t write your own programs, hire a trainer. Of course, she can do a great job herself, the point is letting go of the wanting to control everything. The same reason why I hired John Meadows to do my programs. A change is as good as a rest. When hiring the trainer, listen, shut the f@ck up, do, do, do. Here is, for example, the benefits of hiring John Meadows to do my programs

7. Do one of my adrenal protocol using Chinese herbs. I have found from experience that is the quickest way to rebuild the body. If improving body composition, and the adrenals are trashed, they become the priority.

When stress is making you fat, don’t look for angels, find new angles, and you will be on your way to a lean healthy body.

Always make progress,

Dangers of Soft Drinks for Personal Training Vancouver

Dangers of Soft Drinks for Personal Training Vancouver

The Hard Side of Soft Drinks

Diabetes, soft drinks

Guest blog by Michael Fuhrman, D.C.

Growing up as a child, packets of Kool-Aid were as ubiquitous in my life as yesterday’s meatloaf and driving without seatbelts (I still marvel at my mother’s ability to drive with her knees while applying makeup in the rear view mirror). Packets of the brightly colored soft drinks were a nickel a pack and came unsweetened (before the invention of artificial sweeteners), with sugar having to be added at home. Those were the days, right?

While Kool-Aid surprisingly still exists today, the beverage industry, especially for kids, has absolutely exploded with every permutation of taste, color, bubbly or not, and caffeinated or not, under the sun available for indiscriminant consumption. It may be a minor miracle that my siblings and I came out of those years healthy with no one displaying signs of diabetes or metabolic syndrome. But there is a significant percentage of the population that is not so lucky. The current modern American diet, high in sugar and simple carbohydrates, is directly responsible for the skyrocketing epidemic of diabetes and obesity, with soft drinks playing a significant role.

Just recently, at one of my son’s open house nights at his intermediate school, the principal actually made it a point to discuss the potential hazards of high-sugared beverages and energy drinks and their possible adverse effects on our children. What was surprising is that these kinds of issues have now reached a saturation point both in our conscious and in the media. This has evolved to the point where they are now being expressed openly, without fear of someone being labeled as overreactive.

Health implications

While we correlate the tsunami-like surge of pathogenic weight gain directly to the ingestion of snow shovel-sized amounts of sweeteners, there appear to be other health issues associated with chronic soft drink consumption that most of us may not be aware of.

For instance, a recent study found that teens who drink more than five cans of non-diet, carbonated soft drinks every week are significantly more likely to behave aggressively, including carrying a weapon and perpetrating violence against their peers and siblings.

These sugary drinks also appear to have a negative impact on pulmonary health. A new study revealed that a high level of soft drink consumption is associated with asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Increases in the risk of experiencing a stroke in women have been implicated with soft drink ingestion while not only increasing pancreatic cancer risk but also increasing prostate cancer risk in men as well.

Many readers may be aware of The Singapore Chinese Health Study, which suggested a significant increase in the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in those individuals consuming two or more soft drinks a week on a long term basis (yes, alarmingly, that’s per week, not per day).

Diet drinks are not exempt

While excess sugar consumption is essentially agreed upon as a culprit for a myriad of related health conditions, diet soft drinks also come with their own unhealthy baggage, even without the overload of sugar. This study found a potential link between daily consumption of diet soft drinks and the risk of cardiovascular events.

I personally know several people who find the thought of drinking water revolting and will not drink it unless every other option has been eliminated. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is acquainted with non-water consumers and this goes to show how extreme this situation has become. Getting our children used to drinking pure clean water while they are very young is a good step in the right direction, as the health deficits acquired as a consequence of long term soft drink consumption are indisputable.

The Facts on Fasted Cardio for Personal Training Vancouver

The Facts on Fasted Cardio for Personal Training Vancouver

THE FACTS ON FASTED CARDIO

Taking this cardio approach could burn more muscle than fat.

Adam Bornstein thumbnailBY Adam Bornstein
man running outdoors

QUESTION:

Does doing cardio on an empty stomach help you lose more fat? – @crazy_monkey135

ANSWER:

That’s been the prevailing theory for a while, and it looks good on paper: Food provides fuel for energy, so if there’s nothing available in your stomach, it makes sense that your body would tap into its stored energy—mainly fat—to power exercise. The trouble is, the store it seems to go after first is protein, in the form of your hard-earned muscle mass. According to research published in Strength and Conditioning Journal in 2012, protein breakdown can actually double when you do cardio on an empty stomach.

Furthermore, studies have shown that fasted cardio did not burn fat more effectively than cardio performed after a meal. And since workout intensity directly affects how many calories you burn, not eating before a long and intense session could reduce the energy you have to train with and lead to a subpar workout.

But what about high intensity interval training (HIIT) ? That’s supposed to burn fat and spare muscle, right? The truth is, performing it on an empty stomach causes you to break down fat faster than your body can use it for energy, which results—sadly—in the fat being shuttled back into your fat cells!

The bottom line: Do fasted cardio if it makes you feel better—many don’t like to eat and then work out with food still sloshing around in their gut. But don’t think not eating is going to speed up the time till you see your abs. Eating less overall (i.e., adjusting your diet) is the best strategy for that.

RUN AWAY: Any time is a good time for cardio—not just before breakfast.
