Want to burn fat fast in only 8 weeks?

Hi Everyone,
I sent an email to you about the new rapid fat loss program I came up with while training my clients. Since that email I sent you last Friday, I've been flooded with emails from  folks inquiring about my 8 week FAT BLAST promo. I only have space for 8 clients that I'm starting in the new year, January 3rd.
Here are some details about the program that you should know about before you join.  As we know, it's an 8 week program that consists of weight training, plyometrics training, cardio, and of course nutrition. This program will have you working hard for 8 weeks and your results will come fast and will be significant when you follow the program. Some people will lose up to 15 - 20lbs and inches,  and go down dress & pant sizes. You will have some soreness in your muscles, nothing too bad,  just assuring you that you're getting an awesome workout.
The eating program I'll provide will not be a starvation diet,  I'm totally against that. It's a decent amount of calories manipulated in a crafty way to help your body burn maximum fat and retain muscle tone during the 8 week program. You will enjoy it. 
This is a limited time offer. I have reduced the cost and the session commitment.
Like I was saying, the program starts on Tuesday January 3rd, 2017 and I'm taking the first 8 people on my Fat Blast Program.
You can contact us at (905) 463-2013 or email: Tbfitness@rogers.com

Sweat Together: 7 Partner Exercises Made for Cuffing Season

7 Exercises for Couples

‘Tis the season for “cuffing.” You know, that time of the year when the cold air and falling leaves send us running in the comforting (and warm) arms of another. If you’re still a bit perplexed as to what I’m talking about, don’t worry, I’ll let one of the Millennial’s over at UrbanDictionary spell it out for you in plain English:
“During the Fall and Winter months people who would normally rather be single find themselves along with the rest of the world desiring to be "Cuffed" or tied down by a serious relationship. The cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed.”
Now that you have an understanding of that sudden, overwhelming desire to find the PB to your J, you’re probably wondering why I’m rambling on about matters of the heart on a health and fitness blog. Well, my friends, cuffing season is the perfect time to mix-up your workout routine. I’ve already shared the benefits of including a variety of exercise positions into your routine, but asking your partner to join you on a Saturday morning run or gym shred session is another simple way to add some spice to a stagnant fitness regimen.

According to researchers at the University of Aberdeen, having an exercise partner boasts great results, since the presence of a gym buddy increases the amount of exercises we do. In addition to the boost of motivation and emotional support that you get from working out with “bae,”—another term that we have Millennial’s to thank for—being cuffed this season allows you to experience a new array of exercise positions.

So, this fall/winter say goodbye to that solo fitness routine and hit the gym with your partner for some challenging, imaginative and fun workouts. I may not be able to help you hone your cuffing season skills (sorry), but I can definitely provide you with a few exercise ideas for couples. Keep reading to learn how you and your cuffing partner can be the fittest couple at this year’s office holiday party.

Slow it Down, Child: Exercise like a Human, Not a Robot


When I sat down at my computer to write this post, I had a million ideas bouncing around in my head, but none of them stuck. For some reason, preaching to you about the health benefits of quinoa or the latest trend to take the fitness community by storm seemed a bit redundant. Although I usually find those sorts of topics electrifying, today, I wanted to do something a bit out of the ordinary. I wanted to talk about something different.

The Best Exercises for a Super-Sculpted Butt



When I start working with a new client, I ask them what their fitness goals are so that I can get them the results they desire. The vast majority of the time I hear, “I want a toned butt.” Getting a booty that rivals Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, or J. Lo is at the top of my clients’ wish list, but aside from doing squat challenge after squat challenge, most are unaware of the other highly effective tush toning exercises. If you’re like my clients, it’s time to put the squats to rest and add some variety to your fitness routine with 8 booty-blasting moves. These exercises are easy to learn, target important muscles in your glutes and hamstrings, and, most importantly, will give you a firmer bum in no time.

4 Easy Yoga Poses for Pain Relief


Most people decide to unleash their inner yogi because they want that perfectly sculpted yoga body; however, the benefits of yoga extend far beyond washboard abs and tight glues. Several research studies have found that yoga is an effective (and natural) way to treat chronic conditions such as, back pain, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis and carpal tunnel syndrome. If you’re experiencing an achy body, the thought of twisting and contorting it into a series of poses and stretches may be fear inducing, but when performed correctly, the fluidity of yoga movements can increase mobility and strength without the wear and tear on your already painful joints, says yoga instructor Cynthia Maltenfort. “Yoga is a safe alternative to weight-bearing exercises that could worsen weak joints because it strengths the muscles around them, which reduces tension and increases mobility,” explains Maltenfort.

So, whether you’re suffering from moderate to severe pain, relief may be a yoga pose away. Here a few of my favourite yoga positions to ease body aches and help you get back to enjoying life to the fullest.

The Benefits of Sport-Specific Training for Young Athletes


Sport-specific training—sound familiar? If you’re the parent of a young athlete, chances are you’ve probably heard that phrase a few times already. As one of the top fitness trends for 2016, many coaches are urging their athletes (amateur and pro) to partake in a sport-specific training program, especially during the pre- and off-seasons. Before you rush to the nearest gym and sign your child up for the first fitness regime they offer, let's go over the basics of sport-specific training and its key benefits.

Why You Need an In-Home Fitness Equipment Evaluation


Statistics show that 75% of the people who sign-up for a gym membership only use it for the first month. Instead of “donating” ones hard earned money to a gym, investing in some quality at-home fitness equipment might be a more cost-effective way to get fit in the long run. Purchasing a few dumbbells, a stability ball to blast those glutes, or a treadmill for your private fitness club can help you get a total body workout without those pesky contracts and membership fees.

At-Home Workouts or Personal Training: Which is More Beneficial?



Q: What is the difference between doing a fitness program on my own and with a personal trainer?

A:
 There is a HUGE difference between the two! Now, if you are a professional bodybuilder, fitness model, or obsessed gym freak this question does not apply to you. However, if you're the average person looking to get in shape, it's a lot of hard work. Here are the two main factors that suffer when training alone:

Total Body Fitness Stresses the Importance of Eating Well



Last week I decided that I would not watch what I was eating all Thanksgiving weekend long.  Everyone who knows me knows that I exercise daily and eat well  too.  The muscles I’ve built through my strength training over the years are well established and act as a great fat-burning mechanism in my body.  But it’s not enough that I exercise daily, I must eat regularly and eat the right amounts and the right types of foods too.  This is the magic combination I use to maintain my high fitness level.  A three day long weekend was upon us and I was on a mission to see what impact it would have on my body if I didn’t control my eating over this period.  

Day 1- I started off at 173 lbs in the morning and ended up at 178 lbs in the night.  I exercised for an hour that day on an intense strength training routine.

Day 2- I started off at 1785.8 lbs in the morning and ended up at 178.3 lbs in the night.  My diet this day included my first turkey dinner and all the fixings as well as wine to celebrate the occasion.  I skipped desert as eating without limits that day seemed to upset my stomach.   Earlier in the day,  I had exercised for an hour on an intense strength training routine.

Day 3- I started off at 175.8 in the morning and ended up at 178.3 by night.  Earlier in the day, I exercised for an hour on an intense strength training routine before heading out to my second turkey dinner which included more wine and minimal dessert.  After dinner, I ventured on a 3 hour intense cycling trip which exceeded a distance of more than 30 kms!!! 

 This morning’s final weigh in arrived at 176 lbs!  Despite more than 3 hours of intense strength training over 3 days and more than 3 hours of intense cycling, I still managed to put on 3.7 lbs just by not controlling my diet during this same period.

The moral of this story….. You can exercise well and frequently but you will not get the body you want unless you monitor and control your diet as well!!!

Soccer Specific Training at Total Body Fitness 


Total Body Fitness & Wellness Sports Turf Yard

Total Body Fitness' soccer specific training program will help players reach their optimum  fitness potential, which will directly relate to noticeable improvement on the pitch. Before and after fitness testing we'll show all the areas of improvement each player has made over the course of the recommended training program. 

Our training program is divided into four stages: 

1. The Off-Season - To Build Functional Strength

The goals of this phase are to prepare the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons for more intense work in subsequent phases. Furthermore, we'll also work to strength the athletes underused stabilizer muscles, balance the right and left side of the body, and redress the balance between the flexors and extensors.  

2. Off-Season/Early Pre-Season - To Build Maximal Strength 

The goal of this phase is to develop the highest force possible. Since power is our overall outcome, it makes sense to develop strength first and then convert it into soccer-specific power. The aim is to complete this phase before the start of the season. That way the latter stages of pre-season training can focus on power and strength endurance training. 

3. Late Pre-Season - For Muscular Power and Strength Endurance

In this phase of soccer strength training, the goal is to convert strength gains into soccer-specific power and muscular endurance through the use of plyometrics.
Soccer is one of the few sports that demands roughly equal amounts of explosive force and strength endurance. 

4. In-Season - For Maintenance

During the in-season, the goal is to maintain the gains  made during a strenuous preseason period without over reaching or over training.  

We look forward to working with you so that you can achieve “MAXIMUM RESULTS in MINIMUM TIME!”
