I needed something regular, imposed on me to motivate me to workout. This program is perfect for someone like me who likes to have structure. You get up, open your computer and everything is there. You don’t even have to decide which exercises to do, everything is there for you, ready to go. If you are in shape or not there are different levels of difficulty to choose from. You can do the 6 minute Tabata workout anytime of the day if you can’t do it first thing in the morning as they recommend. Personally, I like this flexibility. Someday I didn’t do it so I did 2 workouts the next day. I am already pretty active but not in a muscular way. The exercises are motivating, they vary and are often new to me and that is really useful for my work as a physical education teacher.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I haven’t applied the nutrition principal yet, I have mainly focused on the exercises. I like that Veronique often writes comments and that is motivating. I saw I big difference in the level of my energy in the last fews weeks since I started the <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/8-week-online-program/\">8 week online program</a>. I really needed that. I also feel like my thighs are getting firmer and I have lost a few inches on my hips and chest. I am super satisfied with the result so far. I didn’t have any expectations when I started the program and I am really happy. I like it so much that I want to repeat an other 8 weeks once this one is over. I never been someone who likes weight training and muscle building exercises but right now I am always motivated to do my daily exercises as much as the two weekly 30 minutes workout. Now I will focus on the nutrition part to have even more benefits from the program. Thanks again Veronique for this program.\"</p>\r\nJulie Fournier, physical education teacher and coordinator of the physical department at Cegep de Gaspe, Quebec\r\n\r\nMake sure you check <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/inspirational-person-julie-fournier/\">Julie Inspirational Person post</a>.\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\" Kalie Gossen, Nanaimo, BC.</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"so-widget-image\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Julie-Fournier-3.jpg\" srcset=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Julie-Fournier-3.jpg?w=720 720w, http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Julie-Fournier-3.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Julie-Fournier-3.jpg?resize=180%2C135 180w, http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Julie-Fournier-3.jpg?resize=250%2C188 250w, http://i2.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Julie-Fournier-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450 600w\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" />\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\"Veronique is a total game changer.

I needed something regular, imposed on me to motivate me to workout. This program is perfect for someone like me who likes to have structure. You get up, open your computer and everything is there. You don’t even have to decide which exercises to do, everything is there for you, ready to go. If you are in shape or not there are different levels of difficulty to choose from. You can do the 6 minute Tabata workout anytime of the day if you can’t do it first thing in the morning as they recommend. Personally, I like this flexibility. Someday I didn’t do it so I did 2 workouts the next day. I am already pretty active but not in a muscular way. The exercises are motivating, they vary and are often new to me and that is really useful for my work as a physical education teacher.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I haven’t applied the nutrition principal yet, I have mainly focused on the exercises. I like that Veronique often writes comments and that is motivating. I saw I big difference in the level of my energy in the last fews weeks since I started the <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/product/8-week-online-register/\">8 week online program</a>. I really needed that. I also feel like my thighs are getting firmer and I have lost a few inches on my hips and chest. I am super satisfied with the result so far. I didn’t have any expectations when I started the program and I am really happy. I like it so much that I want to repeat an other 8 weeks once this one is over. I never been someone who likes weight training and muscle building exercises but right now I am always motivated to do my daily exercises as much as the two weekly 30 minutes workout. Now I will focus on the nutrition part to have even more benefits from the program.

Mobility indicates how well and efficiently we move and it helps us to prevent injuries. It enables us to perform functional movement patterns like a full squat for example with no restrictions in the range of movement. You can be flexible and still lack the core strength, balance, coordination to be able to do the same movement as a person with good mobility. A simple definition by Tony Gentilcore, Co-Founder of Cressey Sports Performance, is as follows:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Mobility: how a joint moves</strong>\r\n<strong>Flexibility: the length of a muscle</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have been wanting to improve your flexibility but don’t have the results you are looking for, it might be a good idea to start thinking differently and work on improving mobility instead. Stretching temporarily improves the length of the muscle but it will return to its original state afterwards. It is the health of the joint that dictates the range of motion.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">For fitness enthusiasts, we want to focus on mobility instead of just flexibility. Mobility exercises should be part of your lifestyle and fitness regimen to keep you healthy and help you reach your full potential. We don’t want to wait to have injury and pain to address this. If you have mobility problem your body is not going to move the way its suppose to and its will create wear and tears. “Compensation from other areas (generally the lumbar spine) can happen if you don’t have good movement patterns in basic movement like squatting, lunging...”</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Mobility-versus-flexibility.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1249 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Mobility-versus-flexibility-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mobility versus flexibility - Choose2be - Flexibility - Yoga - Medical Exercise Specialist Nanaimo\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>For example if you have tight hamstrings and you keep stretching them without improvement, it might be because you have a hip mobility issue. Another example is if you have ankle mobility issues in which case stretching your calves won’t solve your problem.<a href=\"https://drjaritt.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/flexibility-vs-mobility-stop-stretching-start-mobilizing/\"> “Did you know that your ability to actively move a joint through a range of motion is not only dictated by the mobility at the joint but by your central nervous system. If your central nervous system does not feel strong through a certain range of motion it is going to show by limiting that range of motion.”</a> Whereas improving mobility will prepare your body for movement, increase over all joint range of motion and control, and translate into improved performance and joint health. To address mobility problem you need motion/movement.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Common areas that have limited range of movement: hips, shoulders, knees and upper back. There is a lot you can do to prevent injury, speed recovery, and improve performance;</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tissue Work,</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stretching,</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strengthening,</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tissue work</strong>: Self Myofascia release can be done using foam roller, balls, Theracane, or even your own body (like the elbow). I even saw people use a rolling pin on their tissue! Be creative, use what you have handy! You can also go see a therapist like chiropractor, massage therapist, physiotherapist, to help you if you have the resources.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">How to integrate mobility and flexibility exercises into your workout?</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mobility exercises would be best performed before a workout or exercise. They will improve your range of motion so you will be more likely able to reach a full range of motion. This will allow you to move better and keep your joints healthy. They can also be used as warm ups and will help the synovial fluid (fluid in your joints that helps cushions and lubricate) going to reduce joint friction. Joints don’t have blood supply but are nourished through synovial fluid. <a href=\"http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Flexibility_vs_Mobility.html\">“Joint salts, or calcium deposits, are also dissolved with the gentle, high-repetition movement patterns of the exercises.” </a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flexibility exercises should be performed at the end of a workout or at the end of the day. It will help you to relax your nervous system. Relaxing your nervous system decreases the ability to produce strength and power; that’s why you should not perform passive stretches before a workout. Relaxing your muscles will help you enhance recovery.</p>\r\nSo use mobility exercises as your warm-up and do flexibility work after the workout as part of the cool-down to restore tissue length and prevent long term injury.\r\n\r\nI am currently teaching a <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-calendar-group-fitness-classes/\">Mobility and Flexibility Yoga classes</a> at Vancouver Island University and try to integrate some of theses principles in every classes I teach. <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-calendar-group-fitness-classes/\">Check my calendar</a> and hope to see you in class.', 'Mobility versus Flexibility, which one should you practice?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'mobility-versus-flexibility', '', '', '2017-09-14 15:02:38', '2017-09-14 15:02:38', '', 0, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/?p=1242', 0, 'post', '', 0),

She has a gift to be able to bring people together, to create a sense of community. She is an amazing athlete and very modest.

(1246, 1, '2016-10-03 04:25:39', '2016-10-03 04:25:39', 'What is the difference between mobility and flexibility?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMobility indicates how well and efficiently we move and it helps us to prevent injuries. It enables us to perform functional movement patterns like a full squat for example with no restrictions in the range of movement.\r\n\r\nBeing flexible means that you have core strength, balance, coordination to be able to do the same movement as a person with good mobility. Of course flexibility is a component of mobility. To simplify it you can think:\r\n\r\nMobility: how a joint moves\r\n\r\nFlexibility: the length of a muscle\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFrom: Tony Gentilcore, Co-Founder of Cressey Sports Performance\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMobility should be part of your lifestyle and fitness regimen to keep you healthy and help you reach your full potential. We don’t want to wait to have injury and pain to address this. If you have mobility problem your body is not going to move the way its suppose to and its will create wear and tears. “Also compensation from other areas (generally the lumbar spine can happen if you don’t have good movement patterns in basic movement like squatting, lunging.” http://iyca.org/flexibility-vs-mobility-in-youth-fitness-programs/\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nCommon areas that have limited mobility: hips, shoulders, knees and upper back. There is a lot you can do to prevent injury, speed recovery, and improve performance; tissue work, stretching and strengthening.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTissue work: Self myofascia release can be done using foam roller, balls, theracane, your own body like the elbow, I even saw people use a rolling pin, be creative, use what you have handy! You can also go see a therapist like chiropractor, massage therapist, physiotherapist, to help you.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you have been wanting to improve your flexibility but don’t have the results you are looking for, it might be a good idea to start thinking differently and work on improving mobility instead. Stretching temporarily improves the length of the muscle but it will return to its original state afterwards. The joint dictates the range of motion. For example if you have tight hamstrings and you keep stretching them without result, it might be because you have a hip mobility issue. Another example could be if you have ankle mobility issues stretching your calves won’t solve your problem. “Did you know that your ability to actively move a joint through a range of motion is not only dictated by the mobility at the joint but by your central nervous system. If your central nervous system does not feel strong through a certain range of motion it is going to show by limiting that range of motion.” Whereas improving mobility will prepare your body for movement, increase over all joint range of motion and control, and translate into improved performance and joint health. To address mobility problem you need motion/movement. https://drjaritt.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/flexibility-vs-mobility-stop-stretching-start-mobilizing/\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen to perform mobility and flexibilityexercises?\r\n\r\nMobility exercises would be best performed before a workout or exercise. They will improve your range of motion and then you will be more likely able to reach a full range of motion. This will allow you to move better and keep your joints healthy. They can also be used as warm ups and will help the synovial fluid (fluid in your joints that helps cushions and lubricate) going to reduce joint friction. Joints don’t have blood supply but are nourished through synovial fluid. “Joint salts, or calcium deposits, are also dissolved with the gentle, high-repetition movement patterns of the exercises.” http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Flexibility_vs_Mobility.html\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFlexibility exercises should be performed at the end of a workout or at the end of the day. It will help you relax and relax your nervous system. Relaxing your nervous system decreases the ability to produce strength and power; that’s why you should not perform passive stretches before a workout. Relaxing your muscles will help you enhance recovery.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo use mobility exercises as your warm-up and do flexibility work after the workout as part of the cool-down to restore tissue length and prevent long term injury.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttp://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Flexibility_vs_Mobility.html\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Mobility versus Flexibility', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1242-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-10-03 04:25:39', '2016-10-03 04:25:39', '', 1242, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1242-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

She is now a paramedic and I am so proud of her.</p>\r\n<strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong>\r\nI exercise to feel good and for the energy boost that I feel post training. My work as a paramedic is really demanding physically and I prevent the risk of injury by working out.\r\n\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nI like to alternate between fast walking and jogging outside.

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=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-590\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Kelsey-Nijman-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"kelsey\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>My biggest accomplishment to date is being able to do a pistol squat after a bad ankle injury.

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!

I’ve got really excited to know that Nanaimo has a new dance pole studio call Luxe studio. Right away I wrote to her and wanted to go check it out. I always wanted to try pole dancing, rest reassured, I have no intention of becoming a stripper but I think that pole dancing is an art form. It requires so much strength and flexibility. Lisa welcomed me with open arms and has just been so generous ever since. I am literally in love with her, she is such a modest person and so talented. I’ve been training under her guidance and will be starting to teach pole dance Level 1 on Saturday\'s in November from 12-13. Enjoy reading her answers...</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hi my name is Lisa, and I\'m the owner of <a href=\"http://www.luxe-studios.ca/\">Luxe Studios</a> which is an alternative dance and fitness studio in Nanaimo. Our main offering is pole dance, but we also have bellydance, yoga, fitness, and circus style classes.</p>\r\n<strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong>\r\nI\'ve found that I really need to move every day, whether it\'s dancing or working out at a gym. If I don\'t move in some way on a daily basis I feel terrible and I get really grumpy!\r\n\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nWell I feel like I\'m really biased on this one since I own a pole dancing studio, but definitely pole dance! For me it\'s the right mix of strength work, flashy tricks, and dance flow. I don\'t feel like I\'m \'working out\' when I\'m training, I\'m really focused on learning the next trick or spin and not watching the clock.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\nOpening the studio was a lot of work, and still is! But I\'m really proud of the space and how far we\'ve come in a year.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nIs always being hungry a super power? Haha.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>\r\nI can\'t go to to the movies and not get popcorn with extra butter, it isn\'t right.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\nSushi! I could eat that every day, sometimes I do!\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>\r\nMy main goal right now is to continue to grow the studio and the pole dancing community on Vancouver Island. I would also really like to travel to California and Australia this year to train with some of my favourite pole dancers.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lisa-25-square.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1112 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lisa-25-square-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa Noble\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Don\'t wait to get started, start now! I hear from a lot of people that they feel like they need to lose 10 pounds or work on their upper body strength first before they can come to class, and you really don\'t! I think the best thing about pole dancing is that while you are having fun and learning tricks things like getting stronger and changing your body composition just happen as a side effect. Beginner level pole is quite accessible, and if you need a little extra help to be able to move up to the intermediate and more advanced skills we have conditioning and strengthening classes that are specifically for pole dancers.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.luxe-studios.ca/\">Luxe studio</a>\r\n\r\nEmail: <span id=\"e1efef287ca2bc93c7e8d0a25f78d390\"><a href=\"mailto:info@luxe-studios.ca\">info@luxe-studios.ca</a></span>\r\nCall 250-667-5893.\r\nIf you would like to come in to the studio to register for classes please call ahead at 250-667-5893 to arrange for someone to be there to help you, we don’t always have someone at the front desk during class hours.\r\n<strong>Luxe Studios</strong>\r\nUnit #4 – 2330 McCullough Road\r\nNanaimo, BC\r\nV9S 4M8\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>', 'Inspirational Person: Lisa owner of Luxe studio', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1111-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-10-20 05:08:57', '2016-10-20 05:08:57', '', 1111, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1111-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

But really, I am on this journey that we call life like everyone else.\r\nMy background is quirky, as I think most of ours are. When asked where I\'m from, I have to ask: \"would you like the short or long answer?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So if you\'re curious, here\'s a pretty brief synopsis:\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-6.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1317 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-6-300x133.jpg\" alt=\"Nura\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" /></a>I was born in Germany but grew up in Zimbabwe. I am half Persian, half American. I left home when I was 16 and went to the USA for college where I did my BA in Visual Arts. I got married and lived in NYC for 5 years. I moved to Switzerland 9 years ago and 2 kids later, moved across the world to Nanaimo to be close to one of my 3 sisters and my 88 year old grandma.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1312 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Nura\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>Our family values connection over most things, so despite having a hankering for travel, we feel the deep importance of roots and connection. Rather than the traditional yogi of the past who renounced all things in pursuit of samadhi, I am the classic householder yogi. I do my grocery shopping, pay bills and drive my kids from one activity to another.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-5.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1316 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Nura\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>I use my yoga, meditation and awareness of my body, as a tool to get to know and understand more about myself, and how I relate to the world around me. I use my mat to tackle the issues and struggles that come up in my head and my heart. I guess you could say that the mat is my lab where I do my personal experiments!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am striving in my life to shift from doing yoga how I live my life, to living my life how I practice yoga. When I feel frantic, rushed and otherwise out of sorts, I can remind myself of the same feelings I get on my mat when I am sit in a pose that doesn\'t feel comfortable. And instead of rushing out, I breathe a bit slower and I remind myself that I am ok just where I am.</p>\r\nN<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1314 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-3-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nura\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" /></a>ow that I\'m here in Nanaimo I will be offering special classes, workshops and trainings in yoga as well as teaching regular yoga classes at <a href=\"http://www.omtown.ca/\">Omtown Yoga Studio</a> and at <a href=\"http://www3.telus.net/nanaimoyogasanctuary/\">Nanaimo Yoga Sanctuary</a>.

I also injured myself and I decided to step back and change my training into High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.) and plyometrics. That fixed the problem for me. Although lots of women have been asking me the same question lately and I decided to do a research on that topic.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Can you get a toned round butt without growing your legs?</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Squat-they-work-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1288 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Squat-they-work-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"butt\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Women have a hormone called estrogen, which is responsible for fat deposit especially around hips, thigh and butt. It makes it harder for women to have lean lower body. I found out that women leg lean out at about 18% fat. To lower your body fat you have to focus on a good diet, cardiovascular fitness and increasing overall body mass; more muscle equals burning more calories.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A reason for bigger thighs is genetic. Depending what muscle fibers you have and which you activate with your training. Type 2 is more common in sprinters and power athletes and Type 1 are found in endurance athletes. Muscular legs mean more toned thighs that are probably larger. You might need to rethink your workout strategy.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Squat-they-work.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1290 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Squat-they-work.jpg\" alt=\"butt\" width=\"236\" height=\"236\" /></a>If you want to have a nice round butt you need to get stronger. You can’t have a round booty without increasing your strength. The main exercise you should prioritize for lower body is the squat. There are a few options left regarding exercises that won’t strain the quadriceps and hamstrings but have more focus on gluteus muscles.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Barbell glute bridges: if you want to have a round butt you need to grow muscle mass by going heavy. How heavy? I tried out 135 lbs the other day and found it challenging but not enough. You have to open your mind to even heavier. Make sure you have a smooth temps and pause at the top of the movement to squeeze the glutes.</li>\r\n 	<li>American deadlift to activate the glutes</li>\r\n 	<li>Kettlebell swing, making sure to squeeze the glutes with every repetition and go for at least 30 lbs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Single leg foot elevated hip trust or bridge.<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Lyzabeth-156retb.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1291 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Lyzabeth-156retb-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"butt\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you want a complete exercise program and eating plan check out <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/product/364/\">Hourglass workout.</a>', 'How to get a bigger and rounder butt without growing big thigh?', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1273-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-10-23 05:09:29', '2016-10-23 05:09:29', '', 1273, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1273-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Examples include the Ape Reach, Beast Reach, Crab Reach and Scorpion Reach.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AnimalFlow2Photo2-180x180.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1299 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AnimalFlow2Photo2-180x180.jpg\" alt=\"animal flow\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" /></a>Traveling Forms</strong> are exercises that mimic the movements of animals. You’ll start with the “ABCs” – Ape, Beast and Crab – to get you going on these full body conditioning moves. The traveling forms are essentially how we move like animals to improve the function of the human animal.\r\n\r\n<strong>Switches</strong> are dynamic movements that we perform one after the other, creating the “flow” of Animal Flow. You can transfer from one form to another, or repeat the same one as a drill. Examples include the many variations for Underswitches, Side Kickthroughs, Front Kickthroughs, and Scorpions.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/images-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1307 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/images-2.jpg\" alt=\"animal flow\" width=\"240\" height=\"179\" /></a>Flow:</strong> Your Flow is where the real magic happens. You’ll combine the Animal Flow moves by linking them together in a fluid sequence, seamlessly transferring energy from one move to the next. Flows may be a choreographed sequence practiced over multiple sessions, or may be created freestyle!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AnimalFlow2Product-600x600.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-1301 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AnimalFlow2Product-600x600-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"animal flow\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/product/animal-flow/\">Check out Animal Flow Program by clicking here</a>: 26 exercises</strong> and <strong>20 sample Flows!</strong> Videos are provided as downloadable files and can be streamed on-line.

Undulation and flow is the essence of life.  When we have physical or emotional trauma and accidents it can change our posture and limit the range of motion in different areas of our body, including our spine. Over time our spine can become rigid and our respiration might become more superficial. The more stress we experience, the tighter we become and less fluid we are in our movements. We can reduce tension in our body by increasing spinal wave movement. A Shaolin Monk teacher once said, “Your spine is designed to move like water, not a brick.” In Yoga it is said that you are as young as your spine is flexible. The spine is the main highway for nerve influx and also for kundalini energy. When practicing spinal wave or undulation movement you can improve the range of motion of your spine. This can lead to greater strength, power, mobility and endurance for a wide range of activities from surfing to martial art, dancing, climbing, playing…</p>\r\nSpine undulation is performed in many styles of dance.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Check out the body wave tutorial to learn how to do it.</h3>\r\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In0gSqy2d1U&t=109s[/embed]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Catcow.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1472 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Catcow-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Spine movement - flexibility - mobility - wave -undulation -move like water \" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Waving through the spine can also be practiced from cat and cow and can be integrated when you transition from downward dog to upward dog.

Undulation and flow is the essence of life.  When we have physical or emotional trauma and accidents it can change our posture and limit the range of motion in different areas of our body, including our spine. Over time our spine can become rigid and our respiration might become more superficial. The more stress we experience, the tighter we become and less fluid we are in our movements. We can reduce tension in our body by increasing spinal wave movement. A Shaolin Monk teacher once said, “Your spine is designed to move like water, not a brick.” In Yoga it is said that you are as young as your spine is flexible. The spine is the main highway for nerve influx and also for kundalini energy. When practicing spinal wave or undulation movement you can improve the range of motion of your spine. This can lead to greater strength, power, mobility and endurance for a wide range of activities from surfing to martial art, dancing, climbing, playing…\r\n\r\nSpine undulation is performed in many styles of dance. Check out the tutorial to learn how to do it.\r\n\r\nWaving through the spine can also be practiced from cat and cow and can be integrated when you transition from downward dog to upward dog. This technique will enhance body awareness and also support the spine by learning how to engage deep core muscle to move more freely.\r\n\r\nAn other movement I really like to loosen up the spine while standing up is the Brazilian rotation. It’s a great way to learn how to move the rib cage and hips at the same time. Check out the tutorial.\r\n\r\nI am looking forward to hear back from you and know if these movements help release some tension in your body.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Release back tension with spine undulation', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1358-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-11-16 22:39:26', '2016-11-16 22:39:26', '', 1358, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1358-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

I was working as the weight training room coordinator and the main part of my work was to be a personal trainer. I started to train Genevieve and did for a few years. At first Genevieve wanted to lose weight but I think she quickly discovered that her workout out offered more than just looking good, it made her feel good. It has been so nice to get to know her as a teenager and to see her becoming such an accomplished adult. She is now a paramedic and I am so proud of her.</p>\r\n<strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong>\r\nI exercise to feel good and for the energy boost that I feel post training.

But really, I am on this journey that we call life like everyone else.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My background is quirky, as I think most of ours are. When asked where I\'m from, I have to ask: \"would you like the short or long answer?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So if you\'re curious, here\'s a pretty brief synopsis:\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-6.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1317 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-6-300x133.jpg\" alt=\"Nura - Yoga Nanaimo\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" /></a>I was born in Germany but grew up in Zimbabwe. I am half Persian, half American. I left home when I was 16 and went to the USA for college where I did my BA in Visual Arts. I got married and lived in NYC for 5 years. I moved to Switzerland 9 years ago and 2 kids later, moved across the world to Nanaimo to be close to one of my 3 sisters and my 88 year old grandma.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1312 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Nura - Yoga Nanaimo\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>Our family values connection over most things, so despite having a hankering for travel, we feel the deep importance of roots and connection. Rather than the traditional yogi of the past who renounced all things in pursuit of samadhi, I am the classic householder yogi. I do my grocery shopping, pay bills and drive my kids from one activity to another.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I use my yoga, meditation and awareness of my body, as a tool to get to know and understand more about myself, and how I relate to the world around me. <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-5.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-1316 size-medium alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Nura - Yoga Nanaimo\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>I use my mat to tackle the issues and struggles that come up in my head and my heart. I guess you could say that the mat is my lab where I do my personal experiments!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am striving in my life to shift from doing yoga how I live my life, to living my life how I practice yoga. When I feel frantic, rushed and otherwise out of sorts, I can remind myself of the same feelings I get on my mat when I am sit in a pose that doesn\'t feel comfortable. And instead of rushing out, I breathe a bit slower and I remind myself that I am ok just where I am.</p>\r\nN<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-3.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1314 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nu-3-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nura - Yoga Nanaimo\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" /></a>ow that I\'m here in Nanaimo I will be offering special classes, workshops and trainings in yoga as well as teaching regular yoga classes at <a href=\"http://www.omtown.ca/\">Omtown Yoga Studio</a> and at <a href=\"http://www3.telus.net/nanaimoyogasanctuary/\">Nanaimo Yoga Sanctuary</a>.

I’ve got really excited to know that Nanaimo has a new dance pole studio call Luxe studio. Right away I wrote to her and wanted to go check it out. I always wanted to try pole dancing, rest reassured, I have no intention of becoming a stripper but I think that pole dancing is an art form. It requires so much strength and flexibility. Lisa welcomed me with open arms and has just been so generous ever since. I am literally in love with her, she is such a modest person and so talented. I’ve been training under her guidance and will be starting to teach pole dance Level 1 on Saturday\'s in November from 12-13.

If I don\'t move in some way on a daily basis I feel terrible and I get really grumpy!\r\n\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nWell I feel like I\'m really biased on this one since I own a pole dancing studio, but definitely pole dance! For me it\'s the right mix of strength work, flashy tricks, and dance flow. I don\'t feel like I\'m \'working out\' when I\'m training, I\'m really focused on learning the next trick or spin and not watching the clock.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\nOpening the studio was a lot of work, and still is! But I\'m really proud of the space and how far we\'ve come in a year.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nIs always being hungry a super power?

I hear from a lot of people that they feel like they need to lose 10 pounds or work on their upper body strength first before they can come to class, and you really don\'t! I think the best thing about pole dancing is that while you are having fun and learning tricks things like getting stronger and changing your body composition just happen as a side effect. Beginner level pole is quite accessible, and if you need a little extra help to be able to move up to the intermediate and more advanced skills we have conditioning and strengthening classes that are specifically for pole dancers.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.luxe-studios.ca/\">Luxe studio</a>\r\n\r\nEmail: <span id=\"e1efef287ca2bc93c7e8d0a25f78d390\"><a href=\"mailto:info@luxe-studios.ca\">info@luxe-studios.ca</a></span>\r\nCall 250-667-5893.\r\nIf you would like to come in to the studio to register for classes please call ahead at 250-667-5893 to arrange for someone to be there to help you, we don’t always have someone at the front desk during class hours.\r\n<strong>Luxe Studios</strong>\r\nUnit #4 – 2330 McCullough Road\r\nNanaimo, BC\r\nV9S 4M8\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>', 'Inspirational Person: Lisa owner of Luxe Pole studio', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1111-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-12-04 03:47:19', '2016-12-04 03:47:19', '', 1111, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1111-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Mobility indicates how well and efficiently we move and it helps us to prevent injuries. It enables us to perform functional movement patterns like a full squat for example with no restrictions in the range of movement. You can be flexible and still lack the core strength, balance, coordination to be able to do the same movement as a person with good mobility. A simple definition by Tony Gentilcore, Co-Founder of Cressey Sports Performance, is as follows:</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Mobility: how a joint moves</strong>\n<strong>Flexibility: the length of a muscle</strong></p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have been wanting to improve your flexibility but don’t have the results you are looking for, it might be a good idea to start thinking differently and work on improving mobility instead. Stretching temporarily improves the length of the muscle but it will return to its original state afterwards. It is the health of the joint that dictates the range of motion.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For fitness enthusiasts, we want to focus on mobility instead of just flexibility. Mobility exercises should be part of your lifestyle and fitness regimen to keep you healthy and help you reach your full potential. We don’t want to wait to have injury and pain to address this. If you have mobility problem your body is not going to move the way its suppose to and its will create wear and tears. <a href=\"http://iyca.org/flexibility-vs-mobility-in-youth-fitness-programs/\">“Compensation from other areas (generally the lumbar spine) can happen if you don’t have good movement patterns in basic movement like squatting, lunging...”</a></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Mobility-versus-flexibility.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1249 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Mobility-versus-flexibility-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mobility versus flexibility - Choose2be - Flexibility - Yoga - Medical Exercise Specialist Nanaimo\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>For example if you have tight hamstrings and you keep stretching them without improvement, it might be because you have a hip mobility issue.

Perhaps you would like to achieve or change something such as, losing weight, stopping smoking, become a better public speaker or overcoming a fear of some type? You\'d be amazed at just what is possible with the power of hypnotherapy.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>YES LOSING WEIGHT WITH HYPNOTHERAPY WORKS AND IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hypnosis is very effective in helping people who need to lose weight, as any experienced hypnotherapist will deal with the underlying causes and thinking patterns behind a person\'s weight problem. It really doesn\'t matter if you need to lose only a few pounds or several - once these issues have been resolved within the sub-conscious mind the weight should drop off easily.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-4.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-936\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-4.jpg\" alt=\"Nanaimo Hypnotherapy- lose weight - health &amp; fitness -Choose2be\" width=\"257\" height=\"223\" /></a>  <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-934\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Nanaimo Hypnotherapy- lose weight - health &amp; fitness -Choose2be\" width=\"273\" height=\"217\" /></a></p>\r\nThe top reasons people see us:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Weight Loss</li>\r\n 	<li>Stop Smoking</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxiety /Depression</li>\r\n 	<li>Sleep Issues</li>\r\n 	<li>Personal Development</li>\r\n 	<li>Relationships</li>\r\n 	<li>And much more</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hypnotherapy takes you into a deep level of relaxation. Here you can use your imagination to relax deeply then take a journey and create change at the deepest level of your mind. Once all your senses are heightened, powerful suggestions are made to your sub-conscious mind. Once this is done over a period of time your mind takes the suggestions as a new reality and creates new feelings within your body and new emotions with in your mind.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By using it there’s no need to suffer because hypnotherapy helps alleviate depression, anxiety and pain as well as many other issues and it works easily and effectively! You will feel better and live the quality of life that you deserve.</p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/NanaimoHypnotherapyC01Oct2014Inside.png\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-938\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/NanaimoHypnotherapyC01Oct2014Inside-300x162.png\" alt=\"Nanaimo Hypnotherapy- lose weight - health &amp; fitness -Choose2be\" width=\"213\" height=\"115\" /></a> <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-937\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-300x90.jpg\" alt=\"Nanaimo Hypnotherapy- lose weight - health &amp; fitness -Choose2be\" width=\"333\" height=\"100\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAdvanced Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists\r\nRon Thompson, ACCHT - PH: 250-755-6479\r\nTracy L.

The club is an extension of that! Working with those who either want to get a \'jump\' on the clinic, or who don\'t want to stop triathlon training at the end of the season.
