I witnessed that during the years I worked in a weight training room. The same people doing the same cardio exercises for hours without any strength training didn’t have the results they were looking for at all. Yes there are lots of \"skinny fat\" people. I once read a quote like people do cardio to look good dressed up and they do strength training to look good naked or in bathing suit. That makes me laugh but also quite true.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\">What is metabolism?</h3>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Metabolism is the process in which your body converts what you put into your mouth into energy. Even when you rest your body needs energy for all basic functions such as breathing, adjusting hormone levels, growing, repair, circulation blood, digestion.  The number of calories your body needs to carry these basic functions is called basal metabolic rate also called metabolism. Several factors determine your metabolism:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\r\n 	<li class=\"li1\"><strong>Body size and composition</strong>; the more muscle you have the more calories you burn, even at rest.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"li1\"><strong>Gender/sex</strong>; men usually have more muscle and less body fat than women, so they burn more calories</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"li1\"><strong>Age</strong>: as you get older you lose muscle mass so you burn fewer calories</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have been working in the Health and Fitness industry for almost 15 years. I worked in a weight training room for many years and most women that came asked for my help because they were afraid of gaining muscle mass. I often wonder why they were so afraid until I discovered some magazines in the 70\'s 80´s of women working out. Most of them seemed to be on steroids looking more like men than women. There are still many myths and misconceptions that need to be clarified. Its so important to understand how muscle mass can not only help boost your metabolism but can do so much more for you. First I need to reassure everyone out there, without steroids, gaining lean muscle mass is not that easy. Actually its pretty difficult for most women to \"bulk\" up unless you are very serious about your training, train everyday and eat lots and lots of protein.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your metabolism is not to be blamed for your weight, ultimately your physi<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Boost-your-metabolism.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1007 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Boost-your-metabolism-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"Boost your metabolism\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" /></a>cal activity, food &amp; beverage intake will determine how much you weigh. There are some factors that we can\'t control to help our metabolism burn more calories; such as genetics, lifestyle, environment, sleep, stress. One factor that we can control is strength training to increase our muscle mass. Did you know that after age 20, you lose approximately one-half pound of muscle per year, reports the American Council on Exercise.  If you don\'t know how to get your strength training journey; contact a <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/personaltraining/\">personal trainer</a> or join a <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/group-fitness-classes/\">group fitness classes</a> to help you boost your metabolism.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you need other reasons to increase your muscle mass, check my post about <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/benefit-strength-training/\">Benefit of Strength Training</a>.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is part of the <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/8-week-online-program/\"><span class=\"s1\">8 week online program</span></a>.</p>\r\n\r\n</section></section>', 'How does muscle affect your metabolism?', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '940-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-08-25 05:18:03', '2016-08-25 05:18:03', '', 940, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/940-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Quick, I thought, I’d better start concocting some more zucchini recipes to use this summer. Here’s one I know you will enjoy! For meat lovers I have include lean beef but you could also use turkey or lean ground chicken. My personal favourite for easy digestion is the plant based tofu scrambled up.</p>\r\n<strong>Ingredients</strong>:<em> </em><strong> </strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>1 lb extra lean beef or tofu substitute (scrambled not cubed)</li>\r\n 	<li>3 cloves garlic, sliced</li>\r\n 	<li>1 onion, chopped</li>\r\n 	<li>1/2 tsp olive oil</li>\r\n 	<li>Montreal steak spice and pepper (1/4 tsp. each)</li>\r\n 	<li>28 oz can crushed tomatoes</li>\r\n 	<li>1 can sliced mushrooms</li>\r\n 	<li>1 18 oz can tomato sauce</li>\r\n 	<li>1 18oz can kidney beans, drained</li>\r\n 	<li>½   oz can jalapeno peppers, sliced</li>\r\n 	<li>2 tbsp chopped fresh basil</li>\r\n 	<li>3 medium zucchini, sliced 1/8\" thick</li>\r\n 	<li>15 oz Goat Feta, crumpled or part-skim ricotta</li>\r\n 	<li>8 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese or old style cheddar, shredded</li>\r\n 	<li>1/4 cup Parmesan cheese</li>\r\n 	<li>1 large egg</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Method</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In a Dutch oven, <strong>brown</strong> meat and season with salt.

Enjoy and let me know what you think. Anyone of you tried it before?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is Hypnotherapy? </strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\'s a perfectly natural, scientifically proven and very effective mental wellness technique that uses hypnosis to hel<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-935 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Nanaimo-Hypnotherapy-3.jpg\" alt=\"Nanaimo Hypnotherapy 3\" width=\"271\" height=\"186\" /></a>p create subconscious changes in behaviours, thoughts, attitudes and feelings. Hypnosis works and is amazingly life changing. Are you ever affected by stress, depression, or anxiety? Do you sometimes have trouble sleeping, or do you suffer from a lack of confidence, self-esteem, or motivation? 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 4\" 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 2\" 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=\"NanaimoHypnotherapyC01Oct2014Inside\" 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\" width=\"333\" height=\"100\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAdvanced Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists\r\nRon Thompson, ACCHT - PH: 250-755-6479\r\nTracy L.

It teach discipline, commitment, having a strong body and mind, and I am so happy to have my boys registered in martial arts. They have been practicing Taekwondo for a few months now and they have both really been enjoying it. I want to introduce you to their coach Brock Allan Dale Fee owner of Cascadia Sports literacy. I am so impressed by Master Brock’s ability to connect with the kids. My older son didn\'t want to participate at first and Brock engage with him and was so persistent in his approach with him, now he his having a blast.  Brock teaches such good quality classes, I have so much trust in his knowledge and expertise.

It enables us to perform functional movement patterns like a full squat for example with no restrictions in the range of movement. Being flexible doesn\'t 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 simple definition by Tony Gentilcore, Co-Founder of Cressey Sports Performance.</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 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mobility 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>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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. 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.<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, 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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">When to perform mobility and flexibility exercises?</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 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. <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 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.</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.', 'Mobility versus Flexibility', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1242-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-10-09 22:38:07', '2016-10-09 22:38:07', '', 1242, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1242-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

I was motivated to sign up for the race because of friends who had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  I planned to jog the race because I didn’t want to cause an injury by running too fast and then not be able to run marathon.  Unfortunately (more about this later) I felt GREAT during the race and ran like the wind and at the end was surprised to find out that I had placed in the top 3 female finishers.  I was slightly embarrassed as I went up to the stage to accept the medal because there were many women both in the race and audience who had survived breast cancer and were more deserving of being honored publicly for their courage. So as I trotted off the stage with the medal I saw a smiling woman in the audience in a wheel chair, surrounded by her family and friends, all of whom were wearing Run for the Cure T-shirts, and I gave the medal to her.  We were all grinning as I hung the medal around her neck.  Too me that was one of my biggest accomplishments – passing along the medal to someone who was more deserving than me.\nAnd about the marathon – I ran the first 10 k and my calf was acting up (exacerbated by the speedy 8k 2 weeks before) so decided to quit before the injury became incapacitating.   Funny thing, now, many years later I remember the joy I felt giving the medal away at the Run for the Cure race and I don’t remember the disappointment I must have felt when I bailed out of the marathon.\n\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\nFinding moments of inspiration in life and passing the inspiration along to others.\nWhat is your favorite dish/recipe?\nLately it’s been home-made salsa verde with fresh ingredients from the garden and oven roasted tortilla chips.\n\n<strong>What is your favorite cheat treat?</strong>\nYour question should be ‘what are your favorite cheat treats’?  I have many when I’m training for an event!  Lately it’s been a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (there was a birthday in the house), and if there’s no ice cream cake I like to snack on homemade apple crisp or chocolate zucchini muffins.\n\n<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>\nWithin the next few years I’d like to run a 100 k trail race if the body is willing.\n\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\nKeep moving!\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marilyn just completed <span class=\"s1\">the <a href=\"http://www.snowdentrailchallenge.com/http://www.snowdentrailchallenge.com\">Snowden Trail Challenge</a> Sept 4 2016.  (just outside of Campbell River).

I feel happier, and I have more energy to give to others.\r\n\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nMy favorite modes of movement are GYROKINESIS®/GYROTONIC®, Yoga, Hooping &amp; Dance.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-13.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1614 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-13-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca Halls - Hula hoop - Hula hooping - dancer - Nanaimo - circus arts - Personal training - Personal trainer - Yoga - Yoga Instructor \" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>My biggest accomplishment happens every day when one of my students comes to me privately to tell me that they feel better than they did last week, or last year. This is for me the best gift any teacher, or movement therapist can receive.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nEducation is my super power. I will share with you a quote I once heard from a young Afghani girl “Education is gold, it is something that nobody can take away from you.” These words touched my heart and ring completely true. No matter how much experience and knowledge I have, I will continue to study, take as many courses as I can to continue to learn, because education is precious, and keep our brains active keeps us young.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-10.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1611 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-10-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca Halls - Hula hoop - Hula hooping - dancer - Nanaimo - circus arts - Personal training - Personal trainer - Yoga - Yoga Instructor \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>I love to bake cookies! I think if you are going to cheat, it’s important to know all of the ingredients. Plus when you are baking you can add love to whatever you are making and share it with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\n\r\nI am a juice addict. Cucumber, Apple, Celery &amp; Ginger with a hint of cayenne pepper. It’s refreshing yet warms you up.

I do this through my retreats, providing a beautiful environment for people to learn about yoga and the breath and develop a daily practice that they can take home with them. Creating lasting change in their lives, and the lives of those around them.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\nFind something that lights you up. Find other people who share your passion. Practice often. Find a teacher you vibe with.

When I was a kid I used to bake brownies, cookies and always had dessert after diner. Now I know that sugar can really affect your body and health. Did you know that one tablespoon of sugar can lower your immune system for 24 hours? I’ve became a big fan of raw dessert, because they are healthy and so simple to make. Last weekend I made this Raw Nanaimo bar and it was soooo good. I tweeked the original recipe and I am really happy with the result. So skip the refined sugar and use honey. There are so many medicinal properties to honey. I’ve also used stevia, which is a natural sweetener that doesn’t affect your blood sugar. I used to not like the taste of it but now I use less honey and add stevia and I can’t even taste it anymore. Let me know how you like this recipe.

The goal of the clinics is to help those who would like to participate in a triathlon, but don\'t know where to start! We start with the very basics and help people work up to their triathlon goals. 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.

When I was a kid I used to bake brownies, cookies and always had dessert after diner. Now I know that sugar can really affect your body and health. Did you know that one tablespoon of sugar can lower your immune system for 24 hours? I’ve became a big fan of raw dessert, because they are healthy and so simple to make. Last week-end I made this Raw Nanaimo bar and it was soooo good. I tweeked the original recipe and I am really happy with the result. So skip the refined sugar and use honey. They are so many medicinal properties to honey. I’ve also used stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that doesn’t affect your blood sugar. I use to not like the taste of it but now I use less honey and add stevia and can’t even taste it anymore. Let me know how you like this recipe.

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.

He gave me the best birthday present ever when he came to my birthday potluck and suggested that everyone around the circle say something they liked about me. That was really touching and sweet. He also organized his parents 40th anniversary and had a live band play at Cohousing and that was such a great party ! Colin is unique and keeps surprising me.

I am also motivated to keep fit and strong because I know as I get older it will be more difficult to do the things I love and it much easier to maintain if I stay in good shape.</p>\r\n<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\nI am a big fan of yoga and love nothing more than getting out in nature for a hike.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\nThis is a tough question- I would say my ability to connect with people by being vulnerable, honest and compassionate.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nVulnerability\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>\r\nIf we are talking healthy food, I would go with a smoothie with lots of organic local fruit and greens. If we are talking unhealthy, I am going to take a taco, steak, or pizza!\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\nEl Pastor Tacos from a local restaurant called Jalapenos!\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>\r\nWell, I want to have a loving healthy family with 2 or 3 beautiful children and a place we can call home. My other focus is an organization I recently started called <a href=\"http://thevulnerabilitychallenge.com/\">The Vulnerability Challenge</a>, where we inspire people to be themselves by encouraging them to open up and be vulnerable.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\nConsistent exercise will get easier and if you stay with it for at least 30 days you will make a habit of it. <img class=\"_1ift _2560 img\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v5/zfb/1/16/263a.png\" alt=\"☺\" />\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>', 'Inspirational Person: Colin Bender', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1067-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-09-12 04:18:46', '2016-09-12 04:18:46', '', 1067, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1067-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

When I was a kid I used to bake brownies, cookies and always had dessert after diner. Now I know that sugar can really affect your body and health. Did you know that one tablespoon of sugar can lower your immune system for 24 hours? I’ve became a big fan of raw dessert, because they are healthy and so simple to make. Last week-end I made this Raw Nanaimo bar and it was soooo good. I tweeked the original recipe and I am really happy with the result. So skip the refined sugar and use honey. They are so many medicinal properties to honey. I’ve also used stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that doesn’t affect your blood sugar. I use to not like the taste of it but now I use less honey and add stevia and can’t even taste it anymore. Let me know how you like this recipe.

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;\">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;\">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.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nbridge videos\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bretcontreras.com/growing-glutes-without-growing-the-legs/\">https://bretcontreras.com/growing-glutes-without-growing-the-legs/</a>', 'How to get a bigger rounded butt without growing big thigh?', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1273-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-10-18 05:32:38', '2016-10-18 05:32:38', '', 1273, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1273-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

We put an emphasis on fun in our classes and feel you can get your \'sweat on\' while enjoying your workout! Other than training, we also offer running clinics and coaching along with triathlon training. We have running clinics throughout the year working with both the beginner and experienced runner. Primarily focussing on Spring and fall races, these clinics are a great way to train with a group to meet your individual goal.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our Triahtlon Club is brand new and is an expansion of the popular triathlon clinics. The goal of the clinics is to help those who would like to participate in a triathlon, but don\'t know where to start! We start with the very basics and help people work up to their triathlon goals. 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. We will offer multiple workouts every week throughout the year for those looking to train with others in all three disciplines.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.northridgefitness.com/personal-training/\">Northridge Fitness</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://positivelyfit.ca/training/\">Positively Fit</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.pitfitness.ca/personal-training/\">Pure Integrated Training</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.standerwickpt.com/personal-training.html\">Standerwick</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.studiozack.ca/\">Studio Zack</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.takechargefittogo.ca/\">Take Charge Fit to Go</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.theshapeyouarein.com/\">The Shape You\'re In</a></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.vifitness.ca/nanaimo-co-ed/\">V.I.

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.

I am so grateful that he did because I really enjoy knowing him. I’ve <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/personaltraining/\">personally trained</a> him and we got to know each other better. He gave me the best birthday present ever when he came to my birthday potluck and suggested that everyone around the circle say something they liked about me. That was really touching and sweet. He also organized his parents 40th anniversary and had a live band play at Cohousing and that was such a great party ! Colin is unique and keeps surprising me. Lately he did a 30 days <a href=\"http://thevulnerabilitychallenge.com/\">vulnerability challenge</a> and I was impressed by how much he opened bravely to everyone on social media. It has been a delight to have him in my life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong>\r\nI know I feel and look better when I exercise, so that definitely motivates me.

I was motivated to sign up for the race because of friends who had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  I planned to jog the race because I didn’t want to cause an injury by running too fast and then not be able to run marathon.  Unfortunately (more about this later) I felt GREAT during the race and ran like the wind and at the end was surprised to find out that I had placed in the top 3 female finishers.  I was slightly embarrassed as I went up to the stage to accept the medal because there were many women both in the race and audience who had survived breast cancer and were more deserving of being honored publicly for their courage. So as I trotted off the stage with the medal I saw a smiling woman in the audience in a wheel chair, surrounded by her family and friends, all of whom were wearing Run for the Cure T-shirts, and I gave the medal to her.  We were all grinning as I hung the medal around her neck.  Too me that was one of my biggest accomplishments – passing along the medal to someone who was more deserving than me.\r\nAnd about the marathon – I ran the first 10 k and my calf was acting up (exacerbated by the speedy 8k 2 weeks before) so decided to quit before the injury became incapacitating.   Funny thing, now, many years later I remember the joy I felt giving the medal away at the Run for the Cure race and I don’t remember the disappointment I must have felt when I bailed out of the marathon.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nFinding moments of inspiration in life and passing the inspiration along to others.\r\nWhat is your favorite dish/recipe?\r\nLately it’s been home-made salsa verde with fresh ingredients from the garden and oven roasted tortilla chips.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favorite cheat treat?</strong>\r\nYour question should be ‘what are your favorite cheat treats’?  I have many when I’m training for an event!  Lately it’s been a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (there was a birthday in the house), and if there’s no ice cream cake I like to snack on homemade apple crisp or chocolate zucchini muffins.\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>\r\nWithin the next few years I’d like to run a 100 k trail race if the body is willing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\nKeep moving!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marilyn just completed a 50km race and here what she have to say about it: \"<span class=\"s1\">Big race was awesome for me – ran 2-25 k loops (Campbell River) and finished just under 7 hours.  Weather was good and it was a beautiful forest to run in.  Almost felt like I  did a long, long trail meditation because I saw NO ONE during the last 25 k (I thought I was LAST but found out at the finish line that runners were 30 min behind me) ….It was beautiful!   No injuries except for a few blisters on my feet – rookie mistake - I used NEW socks for the run and should have used my old beat up ones. \" September 2016</span></p>\r\n\r\n</header></div>', 'Inspirational Person: Marilyn Funk', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '993-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-09-23 04:27:40', '2016-09-23 04:27:40', '', 993, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/993-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

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.

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', '', '', '2016-09-25 03:29:05', '2016-09-25 03:29:05', '', 1111, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/1111-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Chris refers to Slava as the Ido Portal of Vancouver. I’ve followed Ido Portal on social media and just found him so inspirational but he is from Israel. So when I heard that there was someone like him here in Vancouver, I googled him right away and started following him as well. I was very excited when he came to Nanaimo for a Movement Investigation workshop at <a href=\"http://www.omtown.ca/\">Om town Yoga</a> in the spring. I’ve really enjoyed his workshop and couldn’t get enough of him, lol… who could? I am so thrilled to share the post he wrote for my blog and to introduce him to you. Even better, he will be back at Om Town for another workshop soon. Check out the Youtube video to see what the workshop is all about. Enjoy reading!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1623 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>My name is Slava Goloubov, and I am a Vancouver, BC-based mover. For as long as I can remember, I have been curious about movement and complexity of expression. Being physical has always been a part of my life. I worked in the trades from age 14-22, specializing in HVAC and studying under some of the best tradesmen in the city. At the age of 22, I decided to change the direction of my life and attended a 10-day silent Vipassana course. In the silence, I contemplated a new path. By age 24, I was fully immersed in a new world studying yoga, meditation, and other complementary endeavours.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1624 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Fast forward 5 years, and I now have the pleasure of teaching full-time in the city of Vancouver – facilitating over a dozen weekly classes, numerous teacher trainings, workshops, and international retreats. I am the co-founder of VanCityAcro, the official school of AcroYoga in Vancouver. Aside from my full-time practice as a Yogi, I constantly pursue different disciplines, from Hand-Balancing in the Circus, to spatial awareness in Gymnastics, to finding strength and fluidity in AcroYoga, Contact Dance and Capoeira.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-5.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1626 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-5-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>One of the most important aspects of my Movement mission is supporting the empowerment of others on similar paths. Yes, I can trace a common thread of physicality back through the various stages of my life. From my current vantage point, I can tie together the themes and the undercurrents of my expression across time. However, I am living proof that contrary to common misconception, it is not that some some of us are born with talent or skill, or that we need to be raised with a movement background from a young age to excel in a field. Just five years ago I couldn’t touch my toes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-4.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1625 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-4-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" /></a> Now, I’m traveling the globe on a mission of magnifying mobility. I aim to advance the accessibility of these healing, transformative, &amp; liberating practices for many people as possible, since I’ve seen their own effects on my life. As a male raised in the Western society and indoctrinated at an early age under its corresponding mentality, I recognize the “standard programming”, so to speak, that so many of us are subject to. There is a pervasiveness to this programming. Our culturally-agreed upon narrative tells us that our ability to fit into a pre-packaged box that serves said society will determine our worth. As a result, many men will go on to live a life that is never truly their own. They will be fed into a system from a young age and perpetuate a cycle of seeming “security” and “success”. But while this may seem to ensure that our “basic needs” are met, this leads to a life that is not truly liberated. We are fragile when we do not control our own destiny, when we are at the mercy of another’s whims. We are incomplete when we are making due with the mundane rather than living a life fully expressed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1628 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Finding movement as a lifestyle and career path has been the single most defining moment of my life thus far, and one that opens up countless opportunities for the future.

For as long as I can remember, I have been curious about movement and complexity of expression. Being physical has always been a part of my life. I worked in the trades from age 14-22, specializing in HVAC and studying under some of the best tradesmen in the city. At the age of 22, I decided to change the direction of my life and attended a 10-day silent Vipassana course. In the silence, I contemplated a new path. By age 24, I was fully immersed in a new world studying yoga, meditation, and other complementary endeavours.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1624 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Fast forward 5 years, and I now have the pleasure of teaching full-time in the city of Vancouver – facilitating over a dozen weekly classes, numerous teacher trainings, workshops, and international retreats. I am the co-founder of VanCityAcro, the official school of AcroYoga in Vancouver. Aside from my full-time practice as a Yogi, I constantly pursue different disciplines, from Hand-Balancing in the Circus, to spatial awareness in Gymnastics, to finding strength and fluidity in AcroYoga, Contact Dance and Capoeira.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-5.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1626 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-5-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>One of the most important aspects of my Movement mission is supporting the empowerment of others on similar paths. Yes, I can trace a common thread of physicality back through the various stages of my life. From my current vantage point, I can tie together the themes and the undercurrents of my expression across time. However, I am living proof that contrary to common misconception, it is not that some some of us are born with talent or skill, or that we need to be raised with a movement background from a young age to excel in a field. Just five years ago I couldn’t touch my toes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-4.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1625 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-4-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" /></a> Now, I’m traveling the globe on a mission of magnifying mobility. I aim to advance the accessibility of these healing, transformative, &amp; liberating practices for many people as possible, since I’ve seen their own effects on my life. As a male raised in the Western society and indoctrinated at an early age under its corresponding mentality, I recognize the “standard programming”, so to speak, that so many of us are subject to. There is a pervasiveness to this programming. Our culturally-agreed upon narrative tells us that our ability to fit into a pre-packaged box that serves said society will determine our worth. As a result, many men will go on to live a life that is never truly their own. They will be fed into a system from a young age and perpetuate a cycle of seeming “security” and “success”. But while this may seem to ensure that our “basic needs” are met, this leads to a life that is not truly liberated. We are fragile when we do not control our own destiny, when we are at the mercy of another’s whims. We are incomplete when we are making due with the mundane rather than living a life fully expressed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1628 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Slava-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Slave - Nanaimo - Movement investigation - Yoga Nanaimo - Bodyweight training - AcroYoga\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Finding movement as a lifestyle and career path has been the single most defining moment of my life thus far, and one that opens up countless opportunities for the future.

I was motivated to sign up for the race because of friends who had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  I planned to jog the race because I didn’t want to cause an injury by running too fast and then not be able to run marathon.  Unfortunately (more about this later) I felt GREAT during the race and ran like the wind and at the end was surprised to find out that I had placed in the top 3 female finishers.  I was slightly embarrassed as I went up to the stage to accept the medal because there were many women both in the race and audience who had survived breast cancer and were more deserving of being honored publicly for their courage. So as I trotted off the stage with the medal I saw a smiling woman in the audience in a wheel chair, surrounded by her family and friends, all of whom were wearing Run for the Cure T-shirts, and I gave the medal to her.  We were all grinning as I hung the medal around her neck.  Too me that was one of my biggest accomplishments – passing along the medal to someone who was more deserving than me.\r\nAnd about the marathon – I ran the first 10 k and my calf was acting up (exacerbated by the speedy 8k 2 weeks before) so decided to quit before the injury became incapacitating.   Funny thing, now, many years later I remember the joy I felt giving the medal away at the Run for the Cure race and I don’t remember the disappointment I must have felt when I bailed out of the marathon.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nFinding moments of inspiration in life and passing the inspiration along to others.\r\nWhat is your favorite dish/recipe?\r\nLately it’s been home-made salsa verde with fresh ingredients from the garden and oven roasted tortilla chips.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favorite cheat treat?</strong>\r\nYour question should be ‘what are your favorite cheat treats’?  I have many when I’m training for an event!  Lately it’s been a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (there was a birthday in the house), and if there’s no ice cream cake I like to snack on homemade apple crisp or chocolate zucchini muffins.\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>\r\nWithin the next few years I’d like to run a 100 k trail race if the body is willing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\nKeep moving!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marilyn just completed <span class=\"s1\">the <a href=\"http://www.snowdentrailchallenge.com/http://www.snowdentrailchallenge.com\">Snowden Trail Challenge</a> Sept 4 2016.  (just outside of Campbell River). It was a </span>50km race and here what she have to say about it: \"<span class=\"s1\">Big race was awesome for me – ran 2-25 k loops (Campbell River) and finished just under 7 hours.  Weather was good and it was a beautiful forest to run in.  Almost felt like I  did a long, long trail meditation because I saw NO ONE during the last 25 k (I thought I was LAST but found out at the finish line that runners were 30 min behind me) ….It was beautiful!   No injuries except for a few blisters on my feet – rookie mistake - I used NEW socks for the run and should have used my old beat up ones. \" September 2016</span></p>\r\n\r\n</header></div>', 'Inspirational Person: Marilyn Funk', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '993-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-09-26 22:35:23', '2016-09-26 22:35:23', '', 993, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/993-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. 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. I also like Shawn-T video like T25-Focus\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\nI do half marathons every year, every month starting in June. I have been following this 4 fitness regimen for the past 4 years in the beautiful landscape of Carleton in Gaspesie.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\nMy friends often ask me how I can have so much energy and be so motivated. Sometime I wonder the same thing!\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>\r\nCheese Puffs and red wine\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\nI like everything that has a link with Italy, since my last travel there: tomatoes, olives, cheese, pizza!\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>\r\nMaybe one day I will try a full marathon\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Genevieve-Fournier-2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1174 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Genevieve-Fournier-2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Inspirational person - Personal training - Genevieve\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>My advice to you, is to be able to listen to yourself, respect your limit physically and also psychologically.
