Riding

So, went riding with Chad Friday.   Had a great time but realized that after 6 months of no mountain biking the legs didn’t feel to bad going up hill, funny, I guess the training and spinning does work! The test run was successful and my shoulder felt great, I’m ready for something more serious. […]

Riding

So, went riding with Scott on Friday.  Had a good time but realized that after a punishing spin class in the morning all I should do is an easy spin and stretch.  It was a great Vancouver day but the intervals of the class that morning left nothing in the legs.  I also realized I […]

Why Should I Try A Spinning Class?

When considering participating in a spin class, almost everyone’s initial thought is: “I am not fit enough to last a full hour in a hardcore spin class.” To this statement, we say: “Everyone had to start somewhere!” Spin classes are designed to be entertaining and all-inclusive.

Back In The Saddle… Maybe

Thinking about getting back at it again!  The Doc says things are progressing well and my shoulder is feeling pretty good, weak, but good!  Hopefully I’ll be ready to go by spring after lots of consistent rehab, strengthening and flexibility work!  If i’m thinking about it it must be getting better!  Hope to see you […]

Snowshoeing

On a 4+ hour snowshoe trip on the weekend we had to plan to keep fueled.  Lots of water in a Camelback, an oat bar (with yummy jam), banana, and a half a sandwich each is what kept us going through the snow.  By hour 4 it was not our energy level that was holding […]

Spin

Soaking wet and windy on Saturday; trying to put in 100km on my bike.  Made it 46km before hitting a hot shower.  Yesterday, I taught an hour spin class, burned some serious calories, led 10 other people down the same path, and stayed dry… sort of, I was soaked in sweat.  I could see the […]

Before this session with Jonathan starts I am told that Steve wants to start running in the trail with Jon and he really is not that interested in doing that but I am going to get him to do some running in our session today and I am not going to explain why and what […]

I am going to train Sara right now, she came to circuit class this morning and she is a little worried about the family wedding that they are going to this weekend because she has been doing really well with her diet and smoking/drinking. I tried to give her some advice on better food choices […]

Today I am training Liz and I will say that I really enjoy training her because she really likes to be pushed and what’s to see results. One great factor that Liz has that I think will keep her focused would be her fiancé Paul, he is in pretty good shape and I think he […]
