Dave started a 12 week coaching program with me and we are on week #6. When Dave and I first started his motivation was so high and he had some BIG goals to run a marathon. He’s now confirmed that, that’s not what he wants to do and we’ve shifted to now focusing on doing things that he can do at home or at work where he works for the National Parks for the United states. He didn’t have much experience doing any traditional exercise so I introduced to some calisthenics or otherwise referred to as bodyweight workouts. He has been quick to pick things up and have shown a lot of improvement in strength and muscular endurance.

In the last 6 weeks we’ve gone through almost every obstacle that anyone goes through when they are trying to manage life and fitness. Dave has had injuries, slumps coming out of vacation mode, struggling to find time, balancing family, work and workouts and in today’s episode we run into another one. Dave has been MIA for the most part which concerned me because, we are in constant contact with one another through Skype chat and email. We finally made contact the other day and when I asked him what was going on, he was sick! You can hear it in his voice in today’s that he still isn’t a 100%.

Despite being sick, he got all his workouts in, did the bodyweight challenge and stayed as active as he could.

Once a week the Remix My Fitness podcast will be sharing stories of everyday people. People that you interacted with everyday, parents, entrepreneurs, students. These people stem from weekend warriors, yogis and who are just starting out with exercise. These everyday people will share their story how they have incorporated, fitness, healthy eating and personal goal setting to fit their lives. My hope is that you will recognize yourself or someone you know and be inspired to keep doing what you are doing or find the motivation to get started on your own fitness journey.

Luke and Sammy emailed me recently looking for advice on how to gain weight, build some muscle and get strong. After listening to their story and their goals, I just had to have them come on to the show, so I invited them on and they said agreed to ask their questions on the podcast. Most of the people I meet want to lose weight and I don’t get too many opportunities to coach people who want to gain weight. So Part 1 of this 2 part series we dive into:

1) Why they want to gain weight in the first place

Dave started a 12 week coaching program with me and we are on week #5. When I first started with Dave he wanted to run a marathon or do a big trail run but after a few weeks, injuries halted our plans and Daves motivation to do a race has started to waiver. Other than the race, Dave’s other goals were being more physically active, to reduce heartburn and you’ll hear in this episode he wants to be able to work and fish until he’s a 100 years old.

One of the other things we get into the episode is, finding other things that Dave likes to do and where we can fit in. We talk about past activities and what brought him success and why those things don't fit in his life anymore. Check out today's episode to hear what we came up and how to stop looking into your past self.

Graeme Gentle a strength and conditioning coach and a powerlifting competitor wasn’t always the biggest or strongest athlete but he grew up playing competitive tennis, loved playing sports and had thirst for knowledge. He wasn’t someone who thought coaching others would be something that he would doing to make a living, in fact he went to culinary school and tried his hand at a few different jobs. He ultimately was inspired by his brother to join him in the fitness industry and became certified coach. Graeme started competitive lifting where he learned from past failure and ultimately found success. He now shares that knowledge with others as a coach full time.

We also run into our first hurdle. Dave has been mixing in the program and running but he’s now suffered his first minor injury, it’s one of those injuries that if we are not careful it can lead to something more serious which may alter his goal of running a race.

I hope you enjoy it!

In today’s episode Matt and Sonia, a young millennial couple who will be getting married in the coming months will share their story.  You will get to hear why they train, eat more than just chicken breast and broccoli and their mindset to their personal fitness.  I think you might be surprised by some of their answers because it’s not just to look good in a tux or a wedding dress.

I actually have the pleasure of training with these two, in person here in Toronto.  What strikes me the most of about these two are their mindset to fitness and health.  Even though they are in their 20’s they don't workout for six packs or toned arms.  They are in it for the long haul and are looking to maintain the way they feel and look, well beyond into their future.  They view eating and training as an investment towards their future selves, which is no different than putting money away for retirement. 

We cover things such as:

From walking around in the office to running on the pavement, our guest this week is Daniel Yeung.  Daniel in his 40's, works as as a telecommunications director and is attempting to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Daniel ran his first Marathon when he was in his 20's but didn't make the attempt again until almost 20 years later.  Daniel is a true believer that you don't need to separate fitness and work but you can combine it. 

He shows this not through words but in action. 

He can be frequently found at his corporate fitness centre running on the treadmill and having a meeting with a staff member.  If you want to get to know Daniel at the office you better be ready to climb a few flight of stairs or go for a ride on spin bikes.
