Here is one of my clients and real great friend (inspiration to all Mom’s in Milton and beyond…)

Hi! I’m Janice, also known as the Fitness Cheerleader, I’m a busy mom of three beautiful daughters: 6 yr old Sierra, 4 yr old Brooke, and 10 month old Amber. In my spare time I train for, and run half marathons. Rob has asked me to share with you how I find the time to exercise.

How does a mom of three find time to exercise?
Ahhh – that’s a great question! I’ve learned over the past 6 years that if I make fitness a PRIORITY I’m a much happier mom – and my kids can see that. Here’s how I find the time:

• I include the kids.
  Kids LOVE to be active. They also LOVE attention from mommy and daddy. Sometimes I run WITH my kids – I push baby Amber in the jogging stroller while Sierra and Brooke ride their bikes. I pretend to be a monster chasing them, and they all love it. Another thing we do is to play fitness class, Sierra, my oldest, likes to be the trainer telling myself and Brooke what to do. What Sierra lacks in fitness knowledge, she makes up for in creativity – the goal is really to elevate our heart rates for 30 min or more. Baby Amber likes to crawl around under neath us, giggling the whole time. Working out with the kids is a great way to fit some exercise in for you, and some entertainment for them.
• I PLAN my workouts.
  Fitness doesn’t just happen. If I waited until I *felt* like working out, I’d never exercise. On Sunday nights I draft up a blog post on my fitness blog planning out what I’ll accomplish for the next week. I look at our family schedule and pick out times when I can workout. I plan out how far I can run in the time available, and I plan strength training and running days. Planning is the biggest determining factor in whether I’ll workout or not.
• I’m flexible.
  While I would LOVE to have a set fitness schedule, yanno, to work out at the same time every day, it’s not possible in my household. I’m the chauffeur for the kids, walking them to and from school, driving them around to swimming, skating, gymnastics and hockey. Oh and my husband travels for business often, and I’m not talking a day or two either – I’m talking 2-3 weeks at a time. So I’m flexible. When hubby is home I go to bed early and run before the family wakes up, when he’s away I run with the kids after school and work OR if I need to do a longer run, I run on my lunch break at work. I also have a trainer from Trainers On Site meet me on my lunch break at work to lead me through a body weight strength workout. Remaining flexible – fitting a half an hour or an hour whenever I can has allowed me to reach goals I never thought possible, like completing a half marathon.

You can have fitness, or excuses NOT both.

Patrick House won season 10 of the Biggest Loser and has changed his life along with many others.

At CanFitPro in August I met Patrick House.

I haven’t yet met someone for the 1st time (celebrity) more generous, honest and full of life – than Patrick.

This guy is so real, so willing to help those with weight issues – its incredible!

He was walking around the tradeshow for 2 days (he was sponsored by Cybex) shaking hands and taking pictures with everyone at anytime.

Did you know that Patrick has also completed the Boston Marathon – what a champ!!!

I spoke with him about keeping the weight off and still living a normal life.

He mentioned to me that he still trains 2 hours/day and really watches what he eats.

Patrick also mentioned to me that a lot of it is mindset. Big take away for me was when he said you have to believe you are worth it!

Do you believe it? Do you want it? Are YOU worth it?

Check out Patrick’s site and sign on to his newsletter – he gives out good quality info.

Hey there.

I hope you guys are all doing great!

One of my hero’s in Fitness is a guy buy the name of Peter Twist. He has coached a vast variety of sport professionals from the likes of Mark Messier to Hakeem Olajawon. He has produced numerous research articles, authored plenty of books and has created one of the best systems to fitness training I have ever seen.

Peter is a phenomenal fitness expert especially when it comes to sport specific training and functional training.

Now, Trainers On Site has some clients who are young aspiring athletes and some who are recreational weekend warriors. These clients love our expertise and tools we bring to help improve their game.

However the majority of our clients are everyday people looking to improve the quality of their lives through exercise, combating the battle of the bulge, trimming inches and trying to get into skinny jeans again.

Well, Peter gives the “Skinny” on Smart Muscle Training v.s. traditional bodybuilding exercises and how Smart Muscle Training can really help you (our clients at home) become much more functionally fit.

Take it away Peter. (By the way, all Trainers On Site trainers are becoming Twist Bronze level certified – min)

Leave a comment below to tell me what your best technique is for losing weight.

Choosing the correct Trainer for you can be a daunting task.

There are so many of us out there.

You have gym Trainers, Studio Trainers, BootCamp Trainers and like us – In Home Personal Trainers.

Then you have almost as many certification companies as well – CanFitPro, CPTN, ISSA, CSCS and more…

Another question, is it completely necessary to hire a trainer who has a diploma or degree in the fitness field?

I have come across many great Trainers who are from all 3 fields – University, College, and a Certification company.

Whomever you choose make sure they fit your personality style, are motivating, have proper knowledge and get you results.

Here is your 12 point checklist – Lmk if you agree with most of these?
