Already back then I was amazed by her skills, commitment and discipline. Over the years I’ve been following her as she reached a professional level that just blew my mind. I am super stoked that she is my first guest. We have been talking for a while and she might come over for a visit, stay tuned and check her out.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.hulahoopquebec.com\"> <img class=\"so-widget-image\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg\" srcset=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?w=400 400w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=199%2C300 199w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=120%2C180 120w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=166%2C250 166w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=399%2C600 399w\" width=\"400\" height=\"602\" /> </a>\r\n\r\nVéronique ask me to write about my training, what you do to be able to do all what you do? Well, when I’m training, I need goals and challenges. I want to be stronger or I want to be more flexible to nail that trick. Right now, I am really into hooping and pole fitness. I also love handstand and juggling. And the best part of it is that it is also my job to teach those things. I really like sharing my passions with others.\r\n\r\nMy students frequently ask me things like: «it looks so easy when you do it, how many hours do you train in a week?» It really depends of the week; it always changes. Sometime I spent one week without training but I feel something is missing in my life, I need to move! Sometime I am really motivated or when I have a new idea I can train 5 hours a day (1 hour of body-building, 1 hour flexibility, 1h30 of hula-hoop and 1h30 pole). Another question frequently ask: « how long does it take to be able to do that trick? » It depends on how often you practice, how long, and your sport’s background. So it’s really different for everybody. So if it took me one year, maybe you can do it in three months or maybe in three years. But no matter how long it takes, you have to enjoy the process\r\n\r\nThe most important thing is to love the sport that you do. I like to try new sports: capoeira, ballet, contemporary dance, yoga, aerial, tight wire. Recently I began to play volley-club (a strange mix of juggling and volley ball), I think I am going to play it a lot this summer!\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Maryeve demo video</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lqqKerMW4vw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Contact Information Maryeve</h3>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">My website :<a href=\"http://www.hulahoopquebec.com/\"><span class=\"s2\">www.hulahoopquebec.com</span></a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Facebook: hula-hoop Québec</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Instragram : @maryeve_hulahoopquebec</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Pole fitness school: <a href=\"http://www.lapolkadot.com/\"><span class=\"s3\">www.lapolkadot.com</span></a></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Vidéo: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqqKerMW4vw\"><span class=\"s4\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqqKerMW4vw</span></a></span></p>\r\nMaryeve has a visual arts degree and trained as a Circus Arts Instructor at the National Circus School of Montreal (Canada).

Too many of us fail to see greatness in ourselves. Somehow, it doesn\'t seem to matter what we have achieved; we often need others to point out to us how we excel. People display “greatness” by their attitude, their lifestyle, their choices, their actions...

Tara has been the strongest women I had in my classes so far. Always trying the harder version, doing everything to the extreme she could, pushing her limit. I once saw her doing a pyramid workout, we superset reverse row with push up. We started with 10 reverse row, followed by 10 push up. We superset theses 2 exercises down to 1 repetitions. She did this in less than 4 minutes without breaking a sweet. From that point on I knew Tara meant serious business. She is now living in Thailand and I hope one day I will visit her. One day she will be my mentor!</p>\n<strong>What motivate you to exercise?</strong>\nWorking out us my #1 hobby. Working out is intrinsically motivating for me!\n\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\nI love resistance training and my favourite muscle to train is my back.\n\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\nI can now do 10 pull ups (I couldn\'t even do a chin up three years ago)\n\n<strong>What is you superpower?</strong>\nthis question was left unanswered....\n\n<strong>What is your favorite dish/recipe?</strong>\nSteamed pumpkin, sweet potato and grilled fish\n\n<strong>What is your cheat treat?</strong>\nBanana bread...or All you Can Eat Buffet haha\n\n<strong>What are your goal and dreams?</strong>\nI want to compete in a bodybuilding competition and eventually become a personal trainer\n\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\n80% diet 10% training  10% genetics...the best results come from eating clean!!!\n\nTestimonial from Tara: \"Thanks you so much for all your amazing support over the last year in Bootcamp. You have the most fantastic energy and drive. I really appreciate your constant encouragement and challenges. You are a true inspiration! I will never forget your wise words about fitness: enjoy the journey! Since I came to Nanaimo, my fitness journey has been out of this world and you played a very significant role in it throughout.

 Don\'t give up!\r\n\r\nLet me help you choose the yoga style that’s right for you:\r\n\r\nHatha, Kundalini, Power, Asthanga, Flow, Restorative, Yin, Interval ...\r\n\r\n“Yoga” means the union of body, mind, and spirit. The best way to achieve this union and be in the present moment is to connect with your breath. Yoga helps you self-center and experiences a deep personal inward journey; it cultivates awareness of the breath and the body, equanimity of the mind, by observing your thoughts without judgment and fostering love and compassion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/calendar/\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Yoga Intervals</h3>\r\n<strong>What is Yoga Interval?</strong>\r\n\r\nYoga Interval is new, its a fusion of Yoga with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Because its so new, I think it can be really different from one teacher to an other. I see Yoga Interval as where Bootcamp meets Vinyasa Flow. It\'s athletic and fat busting. HIIT is a superior method for fat loss than steady state exercise training. It can improve cardiovascular capacity better in far less time. Yoga Interval will also build strength, core stability, increase flexibility, balance, relaxation, while cultivating the quality of Yoga like awareness and equanimity.\r\n\r\n<strong>What can you expect from a class?</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen I teach a class, I usually start with a Vinyasa Flow and some sun salutations to warm up the body. Then I will review different Yoga poses/asanas to be sure we have proper alignment, then we will perform theses Yoga poses using HIIT training. We will end the class with some low impact and relaxing stretches. Of course we will do Shavasana at the end.\r\n\r\nYoga Interval suits my needs. I love Yoga and strength training, so Yoga Interval brings the best of both worlds together.\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Example of a Yoga Interval</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLI1jcngv0c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Kids Yoga</h3>\r\n<strong>The Rainbow Kids Yoga Style</strong>\r\nYoga is a great way for kids to increase awareness of themselves, others, and the world, while having fun, because I believe that kids learn best when they’re having fun! Yoga is a wonderful way for children to stay (or become) confident, strong, balanced, and healthy. Yoga engages a child\'s natural, boundless energy, and conveys valuable lessons in positive thinking, body and mind awareness. Each Rainbow Kids Yoga class is alive with magical journeys where we meet animals, fly an airplane or drive a car, grow into a tree, or imitate the ocean waves, all in the form of dynamic yoga poses. We use music and song, silly props, games, stories, relaxation, visualization and meditation.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://choose2be.ca/calendar\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.', 'Yoga', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '48-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-06-13 20:18:05', '2016-06-13 20:18:05', '', 48, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/48-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

 Don\'t give up!\r\n\r\nLet me help you choose the style that’s right for you:\r\n\r\nHatha, Kundalini, Power, Asthanga, Flow, Restorative, Yin, Interval ...\r\n\r\n“Yoga” means the union of body, mind, and spirit. The best way to achieve this union and be in the present moment is to connect with your breath. It helps you self-center and experiences a deep personal inward journey; it cultivates awareness of the breath and the body, equanimity of the mind, by observing your thoughts without judgment and fostering love and compassion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/calendar/\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Yoga Intervals</h3>\r\n<strong>What is Yoga Interval?</strong>\r\n\r\nIt\'s new, its a fusion of Yoga with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Because its so new, I think it can be really different from one teacher to an other. I see it as where Bootcamp meets Vinyasa Flow. It\'s athletic and fat busting. HIIT is a superior method for fat loss than steady state exercise training. It can improve cardiovascular capacity better in far less time. This style will also build strength, core stability, increase flexibility, balance, relaxation, while cultivating the quality of Yoga like awareness and equanimity.\r\n\r\n<strong>What can you expect from a class?</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen I teach a class, I usually start with a Vinyasa Flow and some sun salutations to warm up the body. Then I will review different poses/asanas to be sure we have proper alignment, then we will perform theses poses using HIIT training. We will end the class with some low impact and relaxing stretches. Of course we will do Shavasana at the end.\r\n\r\nYoga Interval suits my needs. I love Yoga and strength training, so it brings the best of both worlds together.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://choose2be.ca/calendar\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Example of this style</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLI1jcngv0c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<strong>The Rainbow Kids Yoga Style</strong>\r\nIt\'s a great way for kids to increase awareness of themselves, others, and the world, while having fun, because I believe that kids learn best when they’re having fun! Yoga is a wonderful way for children to stay (or become) confident, strong, balanced, and healthy. Yoga engages a child\'s natural, boundless energy, and conveys valuable lessons in positive thinking, body and mind awareness. Each class is alive with magical journeys where we meet animals, fly an airplane or drive a car, grow into a tree, or imitate the ocean waves, all in the form of dynamic poses. We use music and song, silly props, games, stories, relaxation, visualization and meditation.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://choose2be.ca/calendar\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.', 'Yoga', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '48-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-07-13 20:31:54', '2016-07-13 20:31:54', '', 48, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/48-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

 Don\'t give up!\n\nLet me help you choose the style that’s right for you:\n\nHatha, Kundalini, Power, Asthanga, Flow, Restorative, Yin, Interval ...\n\n“Yoga” means the union of body, mind, and spirit. The best way to achieve this union and be in the present moment is to connect with your breath. It helps you self-center and experiences a deep personal inward journey; it cultivates awareness of the breath and the body, equanimity of the mind, by observing your thoughts without judgment and fostering love and compassion.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/calendar/\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Yoga Intervals</h3>\n<strong>What is Yoga Interval?</strong>\n\nIt\'s new, its a fusion of Yoga with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Because its so new, I think it can be really different from one teacher to an other. I see it as where Bootcamp meets Vinyasa Flow. It\'s athletic and fat busting. HIIT is a superior method for fat loss than steady state exercise training. It can improve cardiovascular capacity better in far less time. This style will also build strength, core stability, increase flexibility, balance, relaxation, while cultivating the quality of Yoga like awareness and equanimity.\n\n<strong>What can you expect from a class?</strong>\n\nWhen I teach a class, I usually start with a Vinyasa Flow and some sun salutations to warm up the body. Then I will review different poses/asanas to be sure we have proper alignment, then we will perform theses poses using HIIT training. We will end the class with some low impact and relaxing stretches. Of course we will do Shavasana at the end.\n\nYoga Interval suits my needs. I love Yoga and strength training, so it brings the best of both worlds together.\n\n<a href=\"http://choose2be.ca/calendar\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Example of a Yoga Interval</h3>\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLI1jcngv0c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Kids Yoga</h3>\n<strong>The Rainbow Kids Yoga Style</strong>\nIt\'s a great way for kids to increase awareness of themselves, others, and the world, while having fun, because I believe that kids learn best when they’re having fun! Yoga is a wonderful way for children to stay (or become) confident, strong, balanced, and healthy. Yoga engages a child\'s natural, boundless energy, and conveys valuable lessons in positive thinking, body and mind awareness. Each class is alive with magical journeys where we meet animals, fly an airplane or drive a car, grow into a tree, or imitate the ocean waves, all in the form of dynamic poses. We use music and song, silly props, games, stories, relaxation, visualization and meditation.\n\n<a href=\"http://choose2be.ca/calendar\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.', 'Yoga', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '48-autosave-v1', '', '', '2016-07-13 20:31:19', '2016-07-13 20:31:19', '', 48, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/48-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

A Pistol squat is a one-leg squat in which your non-working leg is held in front of you parallel to the ground at the bottom of your squat. Here is a tutorial video for pistol squat, how to take the step to get there and different variations to practice. This movement involves lots of mobility in ankle, knee and hip joint, its not for everyone and might take commitment to achieve it. It also involves the right amount of strength, flexibility, mobility and balance. First be sure you can perform a full squat/low squat pain free with heels on the ground. Then try 1 leg squat with a chair behind you to limit the range of motion, lower the chair to a bench. Try a full squat, to roll on back use momentum to come up. Next step is extending one leg forward coming down slowly with control, roll back and use momentum to come back up. You might prefer coming down slowly with control, then put feet down in a squat position and press yourself up with two legs. Remember coming down in a squat is the eccentric portion of the movement and you gain lots of muscles only working on that part.\r\n\r\nOne of the best programs to master calisthenic movement, also call Bodyweight movement, is Global Body weight athlete program by Mike Fitch.

She was so inspiring, pushing herself and transforming her life around. She cleaned her diet and dedicate herself to training. I enjoyed following her as she travelled the world to Australia, trusting life and leading by example.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My motivation is 100% intrinsic. My journey is all about longevity, energy and happiness. I am a much happier, well-rounded person when I exercise. I also maintain a better diet and drink more water which allows me to have more energy, clearer more radiant skin and a balanced lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>2. What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite workouts in the gym are shoulders and glutes! They\'re my two favourite areas to see improvement. If I\'m not in the gym vollyeball is my favourite pastime.</p>\r\n<p><strong>3. What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My biggest accomplishment to date is being able to do a pistol squat after a bad ankle injury. I can also bench over 100 lbs which I am very proud of cause when I started I couldn\'t bench the 45 lb bar 10 times!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>4. What is your superpower?</strong></p>\r\n<p>I have worked very hard to master consistency. I truly believe consistency is the secret to success and not everyone has the discipline to master it. Although it\'s not a superpower it is the personal attribute I am most proud of.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>5. What is your favorite dish/recipe?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite quick go-to meal is a piece of whole wheat toast with a bed of spinach, 3 eggs and a bit of cheese on top.</p>\r\n<p><strong>6. What is your cheat treat?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite cheat meal is always pizza and an ice cold Coca-Cola!</p>\r\n<p><strong>7. What are your goals and dreams?</strong></p>\r\n<p>I still can\'t do a handstand so that\'s next up on the goal list! I would like to increase my wide-grip pull ups to 10 and be able to do pistol squats without a weight in my hand!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>8. Advice for a newbie?</strong></p>\r\n<p>Don\'t do anything that isn\'t sustainable long term! You shouldn\'t commit to a certain diet or lifestyle that is so extreme you can only maintain it for a short period. Your diet and exercise should be balance that you can enjoy life and remain fit and healthy for years to come!</p>', 'Inspiration Person that crossed my path', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '583-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-06-15 04:46:45', '2016-06-15 04:46:45', '', 583, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/583-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Some people refer to chaturanga as rotator cuff shredder! Sounds scary, so lets make sure that we review the alignment to become stronger and stay pain free. Chaturanga is a great pose to develop flexibility in the wrist, strengthening the shoulder and toning the core. To be honest, it took me a year to even be strong enough to perform one nice chaturanga. Even now when I watch this tutorial I see minor adjustments I could make. Where even you are at in your practice; enjoy the journey!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First what is Chaturanga Dandasana? Its a Yoga push up or a low plank. Chaturanga means four limbs, because only toes and palms are on the floor. Danda means staff and asana means posture or pose. So it can be translate as Four Limbed Staff pose. If you are practicing Asthanga or Vinyasa Yoga you are probably doing lots of Chaturanga during your practice. When you do repetitive movement, your are more prone to overuse injury, especially in your rotator cuff muscle.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Plank Position</h3>\r\nLet get started in a plank position, hands under shoulders, spreading fingers wide, pushing heels back. Let’s think about the integrity of the spine by engaging the core and supporting the back; engaging through the core, tucking pelvis and pulling rib cage in.

Already back then I was amazed by her skills, commitment and discipline. Over the years I’ve been following her as she reached a professional level that just blew my mind. I am super stoked that she is my first guest. We have been talking for a while and she might come over for a visit, stay tuned and check her out.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.hulahoopquebec.com\"> <img class=\"so-widget-image\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg\" srcset=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?w=400 400w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=199%2C300 199w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=120%2C180 120w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=166%2C250 166w, http://i0.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Maryeve-hulahoop.jpg?resize=399%2C600 399w\" width=\"400\" height=\"602\" /> </a>\r\n\r\nVéronique ask me to write about my training, what you do to be able to do all what you do? Well, when I’m training, I need goals and challenges. I want to be stronger or I want to be more flexible to nail that trick. Right now, I am really into hooping and pole fitness. I also love handstand and juggling. And the best part of it is that it is also my job to teach those things. I really like sharing my passions with others.\r\n\r\nMy students frequently ask me things like: «it looks so easy when you do it, how many hours do you train in a week?» It really depends of the week; it always changes. Sometime I spent one week without training but I feel something is missing in my life, I need to move! Sometime I am really motivated or when I have a new idea I can train 5 hours a day (1 hour of body-building, 1 hour flexibility, 1h30 of hula-hoop and 1h30 pole). Another question frequently ask: « how long does it take to be able to do that trick? » It depends on how often you practice, how long, and your sport’s background. So it’s really different for everybody. So if it took me one year, maybe you can do it in three months or maybe in three years. But no matter how long it takes, you have to enjoy the process\r\n\r\nThe most important thing is to love the sport that you do. I like to try new sports: capoeira, ballet, contemporary dance, yoga, aerial, tight wire. Recently I began to play volley-club (a strange mix of juggling and volley ball), I think I am going to play it a lot this summer!\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Maryeve demo video</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lqqKerMW4vw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Contact Information Maryeve</h3>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">My website :<a href=\"http://www.hulahoopquebec.com/\"><span class=\"s2\">www.hulahoopquebec.com</span></a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Facebook: hula-hoop Québec</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Instragram : @maryeve_hulahoopquebec</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Pole fitness school: <a href=\"http://www.lapolkadot.com/\"><span class=\"s3\">www.lapolkadot.com</span></a></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Vidéo: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqqKerMW4vw\"><span class=\"s4\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqqKerMW4vw</span></a></span></p>\r\nMaryeve has a visual arts degree and trained as a Circus Arts Instructor at the National Circus School of Montreal (Canada).

All of her exercises seem very simple and basic but are in fact are unbelievably difficult and challenging. Each exercise comes with 2 or 3 levels of difficulty, lots of cleanse breathing and flows. Over the last year or so, attending 2 classes per week I have improved my strength and flexibility incredibly. Veronique’s classes lets you feel calm, at peace and eager to be there.

My journey is all about longevity, energy and happiness. I am a much happier, well-rounded person when I exercise. I also maintain a better diet and drink more water which allows me to have more energy, clearer more radiant skin and a balanced lifestyle.\r\n\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nMy favourite workouts in the gym are shoulders and glutes! They\'re my two favourite areas to see improvement. If I\'m not in the gym volleyball is my favourite pastime.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Kelsey-Nijman.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-590 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Kelsey-Nijman-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Inspirational Person Kelsey Nijman - VIU Bootcamp - weight loss- weight training - Nanaimo\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>My biggest accomplishment to date is being able to do a pistol squat after a bad ankle injury.

I truly believe consistency is the secret to success and not everyone has the discipline to master it. Although it\'s not a superpower it is the personal attribute I am most proud of.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favorite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\nMy favourite quick go-to meal is a piece of whole wheat toast with a bed of spinach, 3 eggs and a bit of cheese on top.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your cheat treat?</strong>\r\nMy favourite cheat meal is always pizza and an ice cold Coca-Cola!\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goal and dreams?</strong>\r\nI still can\'t do a handstand so that\'s next up on the goal list! I would like to increase my wide-grip pull ups to 10 and be able to do pistol squats without a weight in my hand!\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\nDon\'t do anything that isn\'t sustainable long term! You shouldn\'t commit to a certain diet or lifestyle that is so extreme you can only maintain it for a short period.

I want to be able to stay active and keep up with my kids, whether it\'s skiing, dancing or running The Amazing Race. Hopefully staying active also motivates my children to maintain an active lifestyle.

My journey is all about longevity, energy and happiness. I am a much happier, well-rounded person when I exercise. I also maintain a better diet and drink more water which allows me to have more energy, clearer more radiant skin and a balanced lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite workouts in the gym are shoulders and glutes!

I would like to increase my wide-grip pull ups to 10 and be able to do pistol squats without a weight in my hand!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong></p>\r\n<p>Don\'t do anything that isn\'t sustainable long term! You shouldn\'t commit to a certain diet or lifestyle that is so extreme you can only maintain it for a short period. Your diet and exercise should be balance that you can enjoy life and remain fit and healthy for years to come!</p>', 'Inspiration Person: Kelsey Nijman', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '609-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-06-21 05:11:17', '2016-06-21 05:11:17', '', 609, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/609-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

I wasn\'t surprise to read that her superpower was happiness, what a gift! She just recently sold her house and plans to go traveling the world with her husband. She has been <a href=\"http://millerburr.travellerspoint.com/101/\">blogging</a> for a few years when she travels to Mexico during the winter.

In zumba, the first time you do a routine feels so awkward; the second time is much less so. By the third time, your body is retaining memory, and knows what to do.  I think that applies to all types of exercise, good eating and positive health changes - it goes from being an effort to being something you can\'t wait to do.</p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Thanks Vero!</p>', 'Gabriola Island Inspirational Person Ginny Miller and her love for Zumba', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '629-autosave-v1', '', '', '2016-12-04 18:28:31', '2016-12-04 18:28:31', '', 629, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/629-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

I am also amazed by how my body transformed after attending various bootcamps and HIIT classes over the last two years and I don\'t want to lose that!</p>\r\n<p><strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite type of workout is the \'bootcamp style\' that combines cardio and resistance training, where each class offers different activities but gives me a total body workout. I get bored easily so I like the variety of doing stairs combined with resistance training on one day, then going to the track to combine runs with a TRX workout another day.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My biggest accomplishment is raising two beautiful children and I\'m happy that I\'m now fit enough that I can keep up with them! Two weeks ago I visited my daughter in Toronto and took an Army of Sass class she was teaching and then went out dancing until 2 am! If I wasn\'t in shape I never could have shared this experience with her. Last year my teenage son and I competed in the Spartan Sprint, which was a 5K sprint up Mt. Seymour. He keeps to himself a lot and doesn\'t share much, so it was wonderful to have this shared experience.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What is you superpower?</strong></p>\r\n<p>I can talk to animals, or at least my two cats.

My journey is all about longevity, energy and happiness. I am a much happier, well-rounded person when I exercise. I also maintain a better diet and drink more water which allows me to have more energy, clearer more radiant skin and a balanced lifestyle.\r\n\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nMy favourite workouts in the gym are shoulders and glutes! They\'re my two favourite areas to see improvement. If I\'m not in the gym volleyball is my favourite pastime.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\nMy biggest accomplishment to date is being able to do a pistol squat after a bad ankle injury. I can also bench over 100 lbs which I am very proud of cause when I started I couldn\'t bench the 45 lbs bar 10 times!\r\n\r\n<strong>What is you superpower?</strong>\r\nI have worked very hard to master consistency. I truly believe consistency is the secret to success and not everyone has the discipline to master it. Although it\'s not a superpower it is the personal attribute I am most proud of.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favorite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\nMy favourite quick go-to meal is a piece of whole wheat toast with a bed of spinach, 3 eggs and a bit of cheese on top.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your cheat treat?</strong>\r\nMy favourite cheat meal is always pizza and an ice cold Coca-Cola!\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goal and dreams?</strong>\r\nI still can\'t do a handstand so that\'s next up on the goal list!

My journey is all about longevity, energy and happiness. I am a much happier, well-rounded person when I exercise. I also maintain a better diet and drink more water which allows me to have more energy, clearer more radiant skin and a balanced lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite workouts in the gym are shoulders and glutes! They\'re my two favourite areas to see improvement. If I\'m not in the gym volleyball is my favourite pastime.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My biggest accomplishment to date is being able to do a pistol squat after a bad ankle injury. I can also bench over 100 lbs which I am very proud of cause when I started I couldn\'t bench the 45 lbs bar 10 times!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>What is you superpower?</strong></p>\r\n<p>I have worked very hard to master consistency. I truly believe consistency is the secret to success and not everyone has the discipline to master it. Although it\'s not a superpower it is the personal attribute I am most proud of.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><strong>What is your favorite dish/recipe?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite quick go-to meal is a piece of whole wheat toast with a bed of spinach, 3 eggs and a bit of cheese on top.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What is your cheat treat?</strong></p>\r\n<p>My favourite cheat meal is always pizza and an ice cold Coca-Cola!</p>\r\n<p><strong>What are your goal and dreams?</strong></p>\r\n<p>I still can\'t do a handstand so that\'s next up on the goal list!

She has excellent techniques and great focus on breathing in Yoga class. Veronique is of a few instructors who explain the Yoga poses… I feel like I am being educated as well as instructed through the class. All of her exercises seem very simple and basic but are in fact are unbelievably difficult and challenging. Each exercise comes with 2 or 3 levels of difficulty, lots of cleanse breathing and flows. Over the last year or so, attending 2 classes per week I have improved my strength and flexibility incredibly. Veronique’s classes lets you feel calm, at peace and eager to be there. Her attention to everyone and foot massage at the end of each class leaves you wanting to come back!\" Daniele Latiff, Nanaimo BC\r\n\"I must say you put on a stellar clinic!....you always \"bring it\"...I\'m amazed! Thanks for the inspiration and showing me the \"Bootcamp way\"....I\'m in love....even though it is hard to get out of bed the next morning....it is a good \"hurt\"! *pouting* at the thought of a Bootcamp without you leading us!...they say all good things come to an end!\" Craig Hanson, Nanaimo BC\r\n\"Véronique is a great role model and an incredible motivator! I really look forward to her Bootcamp classes! I have seen huge improvements in my fitness level and have lost weight to boot!\" Trish Smith, Nanaimo BC\r\n\"Veronique\'s personal commitment to health and fitness is inspiring!

Too many of us fail to see greatness in ourselves. Somehow, it doesn\'t seem to matter what we have achieved; we often need others to point out to us how we excel.&nbsp;People display “greatness” by their&nbsp;attitude,&nbsp;their lifestyle, their choices, their actions...

I once saw her doing a pyramid workout, we superset reverse row with push up. We started with 10 reverse row, followed by 10 push up. We superset theses 2 exercises down to 1 repetitions.

I was brought up in a family that had bacon and eggs for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch, and fried chicken for supper. When I moved out, and as a single woman, I dabbled in vegetarianism, embracing a vegetable-rich menu. And then, as a parent, my choices tended more toward a whole food, organic diet, with less meat and more fish. But we weren’t completely vegan.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            My two daughters officially began the transition to a plant-based diet about two years ago, during the summer of 2014. Kristan, the eldest, had started researching about food, and decided that she didn’t want to eat animals or animal products anymore. Morgan, the youngest, soon followed suit. They both became avid gardeners, spending time weeding and harvesting in our huge prairie garden. They surfed the Internet endlessly, searching for vegan recipes.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            I’ve had to come to terms with adopting a new signature dish – roasted vegetables – replacing the full course turkey dinner with homemade cranberry sauce I would make several times a year. Sunday brunch no longer included French toast, as we were now egg-free. Eating in restaurants has become stressful, as we peruse the menu, trying to find something we can eat. Our favourite restaurant has become <a href=\"http://www.greencuisine.com/\">Green Cuisine</a> in downtown Victoria, where you can help yourself to various dishes served up cafeteria-style, and you pay by weight at the cash.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            Am I fully vegan? Not yet. I still take 18 per cent cream in my morning coffee. I crave feta cheese in a Greek salad. I consume Belgian milk chocolate at an alarming rate. Once every three months, I’ll have a boiled egg. But no more butter on toast. We now buy <a href=\"http://earthbalancenatural.com/\">Earth Balance</a>, which is similar to margarine but a whole lot more healthful.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            I have completely lost any craving for meat. I used to love steak sandwiches and barbecued burgers. Not anymore. To think of eating the flesh of innocent animals makes me sick. It’s absurd, really, this dependence our society has on meat.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            Canada’s Food Guide would have us believe that we need all this meat-based protein that we suffer from vitamin deficiencies if we don’t get enough B vitamins, that we will become low in iron. I don’t quite believe it, though, as we are strong, healthy women who rarely get sick.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            I have lived near factory farms, passing them daily as I drove to work, the massive barns filled with sows and their piglets, tens of thousands of chickens, turkeys, cattle in feedlots and on the range, dairy farms. I have heard the anguished cries of the cattle at the Olds Auction Mart, where the confused, terrified animals cluster together in fear, awaiting transport to the slaughterhouse.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            On Highway Two, driving south to Calgary, I would pass truckloads of cattle or pigs or chickens, heading toward the meat processing plants in High River or Brooks. I had to force myself not to look at them, and I would hold my hand up to my face to block my line of sight.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            What would happen if the whole world would go vegan, if we stopped this senseless <a href=\"http://www.mercyforanimals.org/action-center\">slaughter of innocent animals</a>? Or even if people would go meat-free one day a week and gradually increase it to two days?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            I won’t preach to others about our diet. People are free to make their own choices. The choice I have made, at this moment in time, is to become as plant-based as possible. My daughters are convinced that this will be their diet, forever, and I support them on their journey.</p>\r\nWritten by Jennifer Isaac', 'Young teenager became vegan', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'young-teenager-became-vegan', '', '', '2017-09-13 19:54:11', '2017-09-13 19:54:11', '', 0, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/?p=659', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This test has been created by a team of Brazilian researchers and recently written in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. It has been proven to predict how long you will live or won’t, depend on how you can get up from the floor. Sitting and standing from the floor require flexibility, balance, motor coordination and muscle power. It is also relevant to our autonomy. \"The ability to rise from the floor reflects muscle strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility needed for getting up out of a chair, bending over to pick up an item, and various other daily activities and is also tied to risk of fall they explain.</p>\r\n<p>We keep hearing how important it is to exercise and I hope this test will encourage people to stay active as they age. \"The test may be most valuable as a tool for primary care physicians to show patients the need to work on their health, <a href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/health/can-you-do-simple-sitting-test-predicts-longevity-1C7588565\">Berlacher said</a>.\"</p>\r\n<p>With proper strengthening exercises, technique and stretches you can gain the confidence you deserve.

I hoped to become a Master Trainer for Mindy Mylrea. One of the presenters at the summit was Jessica. She did a presentation on social media. I was touched by how brilliant she was and so down to earth. I went to talk to her at the end of the presentation and asked if she could help me with my website. Since then she helped me so much to grow and improve the online portion of my business. I am so impressed by everything she does; she even creates her brand Lok Fitness. She is a Master Trainer for many companies; Lebert, Tabata Bootcamp, Barre Above to name a few and she also helped design a fitness program. If you want to know more about her read this article. She talks about cueing fitness class; participating or coaching a group class.

Because I was young and foolish, I did most, if not all, of the classes with my participants, because at the time, that was how group fitness was taught. This is how my mentors coached me, what I witnessed other instructors doing, and what was taught in certification settings. The instructor did the class movements with everyone while cueing vocally and physically what needed to be done.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Needless to say, I annihilated my entire being. Not just my physical body, but my emotional and spiritual self as well. After many years, I was wrecked, beyond tired, and frustrated. As I was moving closer and closer to \"retiring\", my husband got a job that moved us from Tennessee to California. With that move, I promised myself not to fall back into the same over-worked lifestyle.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I needed to learn how to coach. I started taking a lot of online courses and webinars on coaching from fitness leaders whom I trusted. I started reading more about influence, verbiage, and the power of proper cueing. I armed myself with as much knowledge in this field before diving back into the world of fitness.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">When I did go back to teaching, I quickly learned what my true style of teaching is: I am a hybrid. I don\'t like to coach from the standpoint of an actual coach. I like to be both a participant and a coach. I like the middle area. I thrive teaching classes where I can demonstrate and start the exercise with the class, however stop after a few reps and move to just coaching mode until it is time for the next exercise to be taught. I can make seamless transitions from one teaching hat to the next, now that I have the knowledge involved to understand both positions.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">While I felt successful as a fitness professional who taught 30 classes a week, I become more effective and influential when I gained more knowledge on my own personal teaching style. Now, I encourage other fitness professionals to do the same. Find your true voice, not what everyone is telling you to do or be. Find what works for you.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I make the same recommendations to people. Not every workout is going to be a fit for you. Not every teacher or gym is going to make you happy. There are thousands of companies who make jeans. Why? Because everyone is different and a style that fits me is not a style that fits you. Fitness is the same predicament. What works for me, may not work for you. Like crossfit? Great! I bet your neighbor doesn\'t, and that\'s ok. She probably likes barre classes, which you despise. It doesn\'t mean either of you are wrong. It just means that everyone has their fit, you just have to find it.</p>', 'Jessica H.

As we age we lose that connection and eventually acquire the fear of falling. Movements are often taken for granted; they can become harder with age, injury or weight gain.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"so-widget-image\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/How-to-get-up.jpg\" srcset=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/How-to-get-up.jpg?w=296 296w, http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/How-to-get-up.jpg?resize=180%2C64 180w, http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/How-to-get-up.jpg?resize=250%2C89 250w\" width=\"296\" height=\"105\" />\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Video Tutorial</h3>\r\nI have been teaching group classes with senior participants and some of them have been asking me how to get up from the ground safely. I recorded a video to demonstrate a couple of variations.\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">How to get up safely from ground?</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/SnBPtvYPvsc\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Sit and Stand Test to predict longevity</h3>\r\nI have just discovered a longevity test called the <a href=\"http://www.medpagetoday.com/cardiology/prevention/36440\">Sit down, Stand up Test</a>. This test has been created by a team of Brazilian researchers and recently written in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. It has been proven to predict how long you will live or won’t, depend on how you can get up from the floor. Sitting and standing from the floor require flexibility, balance, motor coordination and muscle power. It is also relevant to our autonomy. \"The ability to rise from the floor reflects muscle strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility needed for getting up out of a chair, bending over to pick up an item, and various other daily activities and is also tied to risk of fall they explain.\r\n\r\nWe keep hearing how important it is to exercise and I hope this test will encourage people to stay active as they age. \"The test may be most valuable as a tool for primary care physicians to show patients the need to work on their health, <a href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/health/can-you-do-simple-sitting-test-predicts-longevity-1C7588565\">Berlacher said</a>.\"\r\n\r\nWith proper strengthening exercises, technique and stretches you can gain the confidence you deserve. It is important to practice ways to keep your body moving and practice regularly.\r\n\r\nSome exercises can help you strengthen your lower body: sit and stand (squat), Lunges, Bridges, Wall squat, to name a few. Check in with your <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/personaltraining/\">personal trainer</a> to make sure you have proper form and to help you to perform the movement in an effective progression.\r\n\r\nIf you are curious and would like to explore more ways to get up from the ground, I found an article that describes <a href=\"http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/take-the-stand-up-challenge-52-ways-to-get-up-off-the-floor\">52 ways to get up off the floor</a>.', 'How to get up from ground safely?', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '670-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-07-03 20:36:48', '2016-07-03 20:36:48', '', 670, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/670-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

(696, 1, '2016-07-04 02:38:41', '2016-07-04 02:38:41', '<p>There are a lot of different Bootcamp classes offered in Nanaimo. I thought of contacting them all and having them give you a description of their Bootcamp to help you pick the one that suits your need.</p>\r\n<p>First what is a Bootcamp?<br>\r\nIt is defined as an intensive training program designed to improve the participant’s fitness and/or skill. If you are interested to know more about the origin of Bootcamp check this <a href=\"https://bootcampmilitaryfitnessinstitute.com/what-are-boot-camps/history-of-boot-camps/\">article</a>.</p>\r\n<p>The definition of it is quite wide and can use many different training modalities such as circuit training, high intensity interval training (HIIT), superset to name a few as well, it can use various pieces of equipment from cones, to agility ladders, TRX suspension systems, bands,kettle bells, dumbbells, Lebert Equalizer systems, ropes, sleighs or simply your bodyweight.</p>\r\n<p>I\'ve decided to contact all the companies that offer Bootcamps in Nanaimo and compile them into this listing. I\'ve asked them a fews questions:&nbsp;Equipment used?&nbsp;Price range?&nbsp;Class choices?&nbsp;Who are your participants? What your specialty? Here are the answer to theses questions to help you choose the right Bootcamp for you.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/bootcamp\">	<img
