New Year is a reminder that life is full of incredible opportunities waiting for you to grab hold and run with.

As a full time fitness trainer, I have to eat. A lot. It's gotten to the point that I see food mainly as fuel instead of something to be enjoyed. Thankfully I have a partner who's an amazing cook who reminds me sometimes of the latter.

Take smoothies, for example. A friend who saw me make one recently got very queasy at the sight of me throwing a cup of dry oatmeal and 3 tbsp of ground flax seeds on top a couple bananas and frozen wheatgrass cubes. The big scoop of green Vega berry…

Ah, the meditative power of Power Yoga. There are many ways to meditate but my favourite is working through a challenging yoga flow, so challenging that the only thought that can go through your mind is what's happening in that very moment: your breath, the sweat dripping, finding balance. If you can't get to the gym or studio for a great workout and a great yoga class, give my latest power yoga flow a try at home!…

One of the most popular events in the track and field contest is Hammer Throwing. This type of sport was developed numerous centuries ago in England, Ireland and Scotland. The hammer throwing occasion can be traced back to an instance when the Tailteann games were taking place in Tara.

This competition was done by an athlete taking and alternation of the object on top of the head and throwing it as far as could be with the athlete standing in one spot.…

Thrive...

One of those random times when I make a smoothie out of whatever is left in the fridge.  Usually I'm antithetical to this type of meal creation, seeing how the smoothies normally made are carefully measured and combined with synergistic and purpose driven ingredients.  

Well, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 just came out so whatever!…

Yesterday, I added Maca (Red Primium quality, but not gelatinized) in my pre (Workout) smoothie. The result was that I got higher a clearly noticable heart rate than im used to during my workout. At one time I actually had to stop up and sit for a while, because it was getting way too much.

-Is it ok to use in every…
