When Kathy first started with me she wasn’t able to walk up a flight of stairs without being in pain or look over her shoulder when making a lane change, check out this video to see how her body has changed in her own words. This is why I love my job!

Hey,
By the time many of you read this I’ll be relaxing up north at a friend’s cottage… oh, who am I kidding I’ll be stuck in gridlocked traffic!
Times like this i wish I had a helicopter!
Anyways I had meant to send you video of a client talking about her experience but due to a power outage I was unable to get what I needed, so it will have to wait until next time.
But for now, am I the only one loving this heat wave?
A unique way of staying cool
It got me thinking of water, yes its boring and plain but oh so vital. Just to give you a little review here are some facts;
Yadda yadda yadda you probably know most of that. But do you know that it is one of the best things to help detoxify your body?
As I wrote about in ‘should you detox’ most weight loss detox formulas aren’t worth poop, which is ironic cause that’s all they’ll make you do, poop and pee, and not having any lasting effects!
Seeing how every cell in your body needs water, it’s importance cant be underestimated.
So how much water should you be drinking? No one knows for sure but a good starting point is half your bodyweight in ounces. So myself for example last I checked I was about 190lbs (of twisted steel and sex appeal baby!) so that would mean 95oz or 2.8 liters. Which is quite simple to get in, I would have 500ml (a typical sized bottle of water) 6 times in a day. Again this is just a guideline, if you’re spending time out in this heat you’ll need to up it!

It’s that time of year again, boot camp season!
The same boot camp is back, but now with a new name and website.
If you’ve been following my newsletters for a while you’ll know that I’m not a huge fan of over prescribing cardiovascular exercise.

If you live in the Burlington area I expect to see you out there, and bring a friend!

It's all about marketing
Exotic detoxification diets have become a lucrative subsection of the diet industry. Touted as a quick and healthy way to lose a few pounds, if you buy their special supplements!
Unfortunately most of these special supplements cause more of a water weight loss rather than a body fat loss. And when you return to your regular eating all that lost weight comes back.
Also most are very calorie restrictive. Which if followed for to long cause a lost of muscle, which in turn slows down your metabolism, which ironically can weaken your immune system which makes you more susceptible to toxins, so you are right back to where you started!
Most of these restrictive detox weight loss programs are nothing more than repackaged fad/crash diets.
Luba warriors
So forget about that any special herbs that the Luba tribesmen would eat. Your best bet to eat a healthy mixture of proteins, healthy fats and controlled amount of carbohydrates while staying active. Boring, but effective.
Let me know if you’ve tried any exotic/fancy weight loss detox programs.

Alternate between exercise ‘A’ exercises until you’ve done three sets of each one. Then do the same for the ‘B’ exercises. Finish off the work out with some calf raises, and an abdominal exercise. Enjoy stairs/sitting/ walking over the next few days!
Stay tall for all of your lifts. Use this program for 4-8 weeks. Each time you do the work out go up in weight (unless you don’t get all of your reps.)
Exercises:
A1- front lunges
A2- back lunges
B1-Plie Lunges
B2- split squats
C1-calf raise exercise 3 sets, 10-15 reps
C2- Abs 3 sets, 10-20reps
