Canfitpro World Fitness Expo

8/13/2018

3 Comments

 
I just returned from two exciting days at the Canfitpro World Fitness Expo in Toronto.  I had an incredible time learning new things, relearning past skills, reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones.  The positive energy was flowing through the place!  I wanted to share with you five takeaways from my weekend:

  1. SHIFT.  Shift your mindset to a growth mindset from a fixed mindset.  You can’t grow or move forward in life if you’re always fixed in your ways.  You want to face your obstacles with opportunity and an open mind rather than fear and avoidance.  Don’t be afraid of change and to change.  If it doesn’t work out, that’s okay – move on and try something new.
  2. ENERGY IS EVERYTHING.  The energy you give off is the energy you get back.  Be in the moment; whether it’s giving a presentation, working with a client, talking to friends or asking for directions from a taxi driver.
  3. BE BETTER EVERY DAY.  Don’t worry about what happened yesterday or what’s going to happen tomorrow.  The time is always NOW and do what you can with what you have.  Do your best in the situation you are in.  Set your bar high and go for it.  You won’t always be perfect, but you can always strive to be better than yesterday.
  4. LEAD BY EXAMPLE.  By being a leader, you must lead by example.  You can’t expect from others what you don’t practice yourself.  If you want your staff or clients to be healthier, show them you do daily things to help yourself stay healthy.  You need to support your clients and staff, but also challenge them.  You want to encourage them to become the best versions of themselves.
  5. IT’S ABOUT THE CLIENT.  It’s not what I want or what I want for the client; what’s important is to understand it’s all about the client and their goals.  You can make recommendations, but ultimately, it’s their journey, not yours.  Make it about them, not you!

I am already excited to go next year and refuel my soul!  If you’d like to join Team Inspired and enjoy an incredible weekend of health, fitness and wellness, we’d love to have you join us!

Nutrition Tips for a Healthy Summer

8/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Summer is a season to relax and enjoy the warm weather with family and friends.  Between barbeques and vacations, it is easy to get off track from your clean and healthy eating habits.  The tips below are easy to maintain while you navigate the typical nutritional pitfalls that come along with summer fun.
 
Stay Hydrated
With hot temperatures and outdoor activities piling up, dehydration becomes a concern.  Water instantly replenishes your body fluid and makes you feel energized.  Drink water even if you do not feel thirsty in order to keep your body properly hydrated.
 
Take Advantage of Fresh Produce
Summer is a perfect time to indulge in fresh fruits and vegetables while they are at affordable prices.  Tomatoes, bell peppers, greens, berries and watermelon are some examples of healthy and delicious fresh goods that you can find at your local grocery store or farmers market.
 
Perfect Time for Seafood
If your holidays include a trip to the beach, there is nothing better than indulging in some local seafood.  Seafood is delicious, low-calorie and protein-packed.  It is also extremely fresh and more affordable in the summer.  Salmon, tuna, lobster and shrimp are popular types of seafood that are typically very accessible during the summer months.
 
Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
In order to keep cool and satisfy your sweet tooth this summer, try healthier alternatives to the typical high-calorie and fatty ice cream treats.  Low-fat, fat-free or sugar-free ice creams and yogurts are excellent choices.
 
Keep Your Burgers Healthy
Burgers are a staple at barbeques; however, they tend to be on the fattier side.  Try creating a healthier burger with whole wheat buns, lean meats (like chicken or turkey) or go meatless with a veggie burger.  Add delicious toppings like guacamole, salsa, feta cheese and fresh vegetables.  Make your own marinades and sauces with lemon, herbs, garlic and spices – the fresh flavours will bring your burgers up a notch without the preservatives of store-bought options.
 
These are just a few tips to keep you going.  For more advice on improving food choices, feel free to make an appointment with me to help you achieve the results you’ve always wanted and guide you to success!
