Vancouver Fitness Board

We post all kinds of tips, tricks and truths here on our Vancouver fitness Trainer Board. It’s full of real-time advice from the Vancouver fitness Trenches and updated routinely. Enjoy!

Knee Pain? Try This

General knee pain during squats and lunges can be from a few movement issues. First, initiate at the hips by moving backwards and stick your butt out and reach forward. Or use a counter weight (med ball in picture).

Avoid Excess Planks

See the forward shoulder position in the picture? Too much of this can upset the shoulder. Planks have been popular in the media lately and this has led to over-planking. They're an ok exercise but, there are better alternatives and if you insist on doing excess planking, you need to offset them with reciprocal exercises.
Kettlebells are good. Most weights including dumbbells, barbells, machines and kettelbells are all good. There's slight variation but in the end, it's all good.

What do Joints love?

Healthy joints love motion and loading. That's right! It's important to use them. A common physio tip for joints is: "Motion is Lotion". Think of a sponge. We want that sponge being used otherwise, it will dry out. As for an arthritic joint, there are different protocols based on severity and we can help you with programs for that too.

Fast Fat Loss

What's the FASTEST way to lose fat? It's by eating right. Add more healthy foods, more often, more times during the day especially during your main meals. Get some recipes and start working on eating more healthy foods more often! Examples: Sweet potato hamburgers, Whole wheat tortillas, Eggs and Avocados on brown bread! Timing Tip: Get the greens going after 12pm! Think lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner. All can have some green action!
