So on Firday of last week it was my friend Mindy Milrea’s Birthday. She is such an inspiration to us all in the fitness industry.

Mindy is the person behind one of my favourite fitness products – Gliding Discs.

I love these cool little purple discs. They come in plastic for carpet or cloth for hardwood/laminate.

There are 100′s of different exercises you can use with them at home or on the road.

From side to side push-ups like in P90X, to reverse lunges or even floor sprints in videos like Insanity.

Gliders work and they work REALLY well.

Check out my “Gliding” How To videos at the Fitness Source Blog

Grab the Gliders from Fitness Source. Once you have mastered the videos that come with the discs or you simply want variety, hop over to Mindy’s website to browse through more of her DVD’s.

Thats it for today. Get Gliding.

Hi Ladies,

Here is a quick video explaining why you don’t want to body build and why you want to functional train or perform compound progressive exercises right in the comfort of your own home.? If you are stuck for time and you want a quick home fitness workout, you have to incorporate compound movement exercises. Of course only do these once you have mastered an isolated movement.

Watch here and lmk what you think?

When it comes to exercise, us at Trainers On Site like to think we know fitness!

One of our favorite websites to frequent is Discovery Health.

Discovery health has plenty of factual information and sometimes cool activites to do within their website.

For example check out this excersie fitness test. It takes only 5 minutes and you find out how great your personal knowledge is when it comes to health and wellness.

Be sure to leave a comment and let us know your score. Were you as savvy as you thought you were?

Coming up on my blog be sure to check out our 12 days of Fitness.

Christmas is quickly approaching and there are some real cool gift ideas for loved ones and their families.

As a Personal Trainer that goes to people’s homes (in home personal trainer) I have a real good idea of what would be perfect under the tree or in the stocking.

Just be sure to be sensitive when shopping for loved ones. Don’t insinuate anything!

The 1st gift I would recommend would be a Trainers On Site Gift Card.

Give the Gift of Fitness for someone close to you.

We started with this gift as #1 because it truly is the most important of all.

The next gift will be the 2nd day of Christmas.
