Now this is cool!!

Even though I am not a real “techie” kind of a guy, I love interesting devices, inventions, and products.

Especially when it comes to health and fitness.

Now don’t get me wrong, gizmo’s and gadgets that simply blow smoke up your _____, I am not a big fan of.

I would only promote/endorse fitness things that are really beneficial, practical and of good quality.

If you have been reading my e-mails or blog posts for a while now, you know that I watch NBC’s The Biggest Loser (am I a fan…not sure anymore? Although Dolvett really rocks the show! We will save that for another blog post).

The contestants on the show wear this sleek cool-looking black armband, the BodyBugg.

Apparently it is only available to be bought through 24 hr Fitness locations across the U.S.A.

The same device – different name / different colour – is now available to the general population across North America as Body Media Fit.

The creators of Body Media Fit 1st initially made it as a medical device for weight management patients. This arm-band, activity manager and display monitor would ensure the physicians/patients a like, had a tracking system to calculate what was going right or wrong for the patients pertaining to losing weight.

One of my clients used Body Media Fit while training with me and it was the best system/product I had ever seen.
She lost “100″ lbs in 7 months!

My client would set the monitor on “Trip” and the device would actually measure precisely how many calories she would burn in the span of our workout. So 15 minutes in, we could gauge how hard she was working.

Later throughout the day she would get a beeping sound from the Body Media Fit say around say 7pm, notifying her that she met her target calorie burn for the day at 3,500 calories — everything else was gravy (so to speak, bonus – lol)

It would see a chart like this one that she would email me – graphed – at the end of the week showing her totals…
Weekly caloric deficit, weekly sleep patterns, weekly steps taken, and weekly vigorous exercise (mine shows daily, and my food was not entered)

As you can see, if you don’t post your food consumed – you won’t get the caloric deficit. Very important step!!! (Easy after getting your main meals in there)

Here is their website

I don’t get anything (yet) from promoting this product. But I really am thinking about making it a must have device in all our weight management personal training programs.

Everything…

Hey everyone.

I just got back from a week long vacation to the greatest place on earth – Walt Disney World!!!

We stayed in a resort just 10 min from Disney.

Don’t worry the resort had a decent gym with plenty of Dumbbells (I checked before booking).

Since I was on vacation I actually had some real amazing hour long workouts – Trainers On Site style.

While my wife and kiddies were asleep, I woke up (after sleeping in – my sleeping in is 7:15am) and snuck out down to the gym.

I completed 5 workouts while there. Although my specialty is in home personal training, going to the gym was kinda cool for a change.

The workouts went like this;

Day 1 Chest, Shoulders, Triceps.

Day 2 Back and Biceps.

Day 3 Shoulders and Legs.

Day 4 Chest and Triceps.

Day 5 Back and Biceps again.

What an amazing way to start the days.

And if you have ever been to Disney, you know there is a plenty of walking to do! (I almost had a desire to borrow a Segway – they were so cool)

Carrying a 35 lb child on your shoulders wrecks havic on one’s back.

I have to admit I did indulge into the odd cheeseburger and fries combo. (Ok, a couple of beers too)

What I can’t believe is some of the crazy conveniences people do while visiting Disney.

I am not so sure that everyone in one of those RENT A SCOOTER’s were actually handi-capped.

Being overweight and obese (A huge problem in North America) is really hard on the knees, legs and lower back.

What a great time it was. We had a blast!

I suggest everyone go at least once. And of course, walk the whole park!

Remember, vacation’s are not vacation’s for your body. This is probably the best time to get on the fitness wagon again.

Posting pictures soon.

Leave a comment and tell me about your favourite Disney Vacation workouts.

Well, here it is – another day of Fitness just in time for the holidays.

I came across this product through 1 of my Brampton In Home Personal Training clients.

Now, due to the popularity and success my clients are having, I am thinking it should become mandatory for all my clients.

I get no commission for promoting this product or any direct benefit from you buying this.

The benefit I get is you getting fit!!!

It works and it is my favourite most revolutionary product out there on my list.

Besides buying personal training for a loved one, this is the most important Fitness product out there anyone can buy.
