VANCOUVER 2010 UNDERWEAR AFFAIR

Welcome to my Underwear Affair Personal Page! As you can see, I’ve joined BC Cancer Foundation’s Underwear Affair - a 10K run / 5K walk to uncover cures for cancers below the waist. It’s not only fun, but it fights prostate, colon, and ovarian cancer, among others. I’ll be just one of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Vancouver this summer in the biggest Affair this town has ever seen!

What can you do about it? You can donate to me! Don’t be shy - it’s about giving these devastating cancers some exposure and shedding some light on their cures. So please help me in my effort to raise money for care and research for cancers "down there!"

Get lean with fish oil?!

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:12:33 +0100

A number of supplements are great for packing on muscle. However, if you want to get lean and mean protein is great. You are more likely to get a leaner mid section with whey protein, and not one full of sugar (Myofusion is one of my favorites since it is sugar and aspartame free). Whey protein enhances fat-burning and decreases the manufacture of fat by the liver. Something simpler? try ingesting fish oil to enhance the efficiency of leptin. Leptin is a protein hormone with important effects on regulating body weight, metabolism, and reproductive function.

5 Reasons Why Most Diets Don't Work

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:17:02 +0100

1. You starve yourself
Cutting to many calories from your diet causes your body to go into starvation mode and it will start storing calories rather than burning them.

2. You eat to fast
Did you know it takes about 15-20 minutes for your brain to process what's going on in that gut of yours. So slow it down even if your in a speedy hurry.

3. You haven't vanquished carb cravings
The strategy of eliminating fast absorbing carb is no easy task and hard to maintain especially if you don't replace those bad carbs for good carbs. Your body craves carbs so give in by giving it fiber rich carbs.

4. You dont like to cook
On average people consume 500 more calories a day just from eating out from eating at home, those calories can add up fast especially since 1lb of fat is 3500 calories. Start enjoying food and make it fun cook at home and stay off the sofa and out the Mc Donald's.

5. You reward yourself disproportionally
You started working out and dropped a few pounds and you feel pretty damn good about things. So you reward yourself with a meat lovers pizza and a pitcher of beer,,, well sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it doesn't work that way. You have to get into a routine that become second nature in your healthy lifestyle. You wouldn't wash your car then throw mud on it would you?? so why eat clean and exercise then under estimate calories and carbs? tisk tisk

It isn't about completely changing your life. It doesn't work that way for 99% of people so chances are you need to take small steps to improving your health and fitness lifestyle. If you do small things over and over and over and over and over (get the idea?) then they will become second nature.

10 foods to eat almost EVERY day

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:27:24 +0100

1. Beans or legumes
You get 3 bangs for your buck. Beans provide a slow burning carb, dietary fiber, protein.

2. Berries, Grapes, Apples, Pears, Oranges
The darker the fruit the more the nutrients. Keep some fruits in your freezer for snacks or cereal.
Fruits all have certain area they help a little more in regardless experiment with fruit because a piece of fruit could
help your immune system, inhibit tumor growth.. natures probiotic.

3. Broccoli / Spinach
-sharper eye sight, sexual enhancement, stronger bones.
a huge amount of omega-3s and folate.

4. Lean protein (eggs, chicken, fish, beef)
This one should be obvious. Protein is brain food and helps keep muscles strong and promotes weight/ fat loss.

5. Oatmeal
healthy heart food, good enough for me. Oatmeal is a great way to get some grains and heart food in if you're like 99% of the population and don't have time to whip up a big fancy breakfast.

6. Olive oil/ Avocado
both of these are monounsaturated fats, helping reduce heart disease (leading killer of canadians) colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis.

7. Probiotic yogurt, low fat cheese, fat free milk.
calcium carbs yum yum.. these products are great for fighting bacteria and boosting a healthy gut.

8. Tomatoes/ Red or Yellow Peppers.
These delicious veggies are great for ridding off prostate cancer, heart disease, strokes, gastric and pancreatic cancers.

9. Nuts or Peanut Butter
Nuts are heart candy, in moderation of course. Nuts are a great source of muscle protein, filing fibers, and heart healthy fats,

10. Whole Grain Bread or Pasta
The brain is a furnace that constantly requires fuel (in the form of glucose) in order to perform. You can improve your memory and concentration by helping keep a natural flow of glucose and vitamin b from food like, whole grain rice, pasta, bread etc.

In good health,

Hiring a personal trainer

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:31:22 +0100

This is a very interesting question. When you are hiring a personal trainer it doesn't need to be complicated. Here are some very simple instructions to find a trainer that will work for you. When you are ready to take charge of your health and fitness make sure the person you are looking for understand what your goals are. A trainer understanding your goals makes you both accountable to each other. When you are looking at where to train remember you would not take your car to get fixed at the first run down shop you found so why do that to yourself when your making the most important investment in your life. Trainers will have different certifications and levels of experience and also different personalities. You want to make sure you get along with your trainer or at least have a good understanding of your goals and what it is going to take to get you there.

In vancouver everyone and their dog is a personal trainer so you can spit and hit one. Much like anything else there is unfortunately more quantity than quality. This is your health and should not be taken lightly regardless if you are wanting to loose 300lbs or just tighten up that booty. You want someone who can think outside the box and make things work for you while being reliable, patient, motivating, understanding and results driven.

Some questions to ask?!?!
-How long have they been training?
-What do they specialize in?
-What certifications do they CURRENTLY hold?
-Ask if they have references.
-Do they offer a free trial?

If you need more help finding the right trainer for you feel free to contact us.

Kettlehells

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:15:33 +0100

Why do kettlebells produce results? Because of the way you use them. You don't "workout" or "train" with a kettlebell, you practice. It's like practicing the piano - you try to improve your performance by refining your technique, learning when to work hard and when to relax - you don't just "go through the motions." These concepts can and should be applied to all exercise but it's easy to be mindless when you're on a treadmill or exercise bicycle or swinging lightweight dumbells or pushing the lever on a machine. The kettlebell affords the user no such luxury because it insists on having your full attention, one of the wonders of the kettlebell's design that features the center of gravity several inches away from the handle. And because there is obviously no point in practicing when you have less than your full concentration, the kettlebell rewards you for stopping well short of muscle failure. It is a very 3-dimensional way to workout whether you are an avid fitness enthusiast or a beginner.

Earthquake in Haiti needs our help!

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:15:26 +0100

On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, followed by several powerful aftershocks, struck off the western coast of Haiti, causing buildings to collapse in Port au Prince and chaos as people fled the damage. It is estimated that 3 million people have been affected and 200,000 left homeless.

This earthquake has caused the poorest country in the western hemisphere to be left with extreme sadness. A country with nothing has much, much less now. Canadian government has told canadians that they will match dollar for dollar its donations.

Please go to Red Cross to help donate what you can to help the country of Haiti in their extreme time of need. Please click the red cross logo below to donate.
