Turning 44 I have just turned 44 years old. Thanks for all of the many birthday wishes I received from my friends. I am busy trying to thank each of you who took the time to wish me happy birthday on my 44th birthday. If I have missed you, I apologize, although I am still working through the list of people who kindly sent well wishes. Here are a few thoughts as I am turning 44 and pass the halfway mark of my expected lifespan: 1.  If you live with good energy you will be happier; 2.  Enjoy everyday. Live

What is Fitness? As a personal trainer in the Durham region, I often get the question asked of me...what is fitness?

Looking young for less? What's the secret? As I am turning 44 very soon, my mind turns to what I have learned about health and beauty. Keep in mind that I have 2 children, one when I was in my early 20s and another one 2 years after the first picture was taken when I was 36. One of the ways that I have managed to maintain my appearance over the last 10 years is to exercise consistently. I have been able to do this by having a personal trainer (even through I am a personal trainer!!)   If I

As a fitness trainer in Ajax, I often think about the question... would you rather live well or live long? I recently conducted an online survey. Given a choice of living to the age of 25, but living a great life or living to 95 but having serious health problems, which would you choose. 98% of those who answered said that they would prefer to live to age 25. That is, most people would rather live a shorter great life. The most interesting aspect of this survey is that most of us do not have to make that choice. Advice

Save on Personal Training, Irina Marchenkova, Victoria, Toronto, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Personal Trainer

You can save on personal training by training three times a week. This seems to go against the conventional wisdom. I have heard it so many times "I can't afford to train 3 times a week, it is too expensive. When you take a closer look at the different scenarios, you will discover that it is at least the same cost, and most likely even less expensive for you to train three times a week in comparison to once or twice a week. First of all, does it make sense to train three times a week? Some people have asked

Three Meals, Irina Marchenkova, Victoria, Toronto, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Personal Trainer

Three Meals a day (NOT!) - Eat Smaller amounts of Food More Frequently.  Eating three meals a day is a recent development for us humans. It may seem very normal now, but the foundation of these eating habits has strange roots. The practice came from the European settlers to North American. They watched the indigenous people and determined that it was more important to have a timing of each meal. They saw that the indigenous people had what appeared to be unorganized eating habits. They generally ate with they were hungry. The indigenous people in North America had what would be

Most people think that a gym membership is a luxury. It's considered and extra cost that we just don't need, even if we want it. However, this might not be true. Getting higher pay by working out sounds crazy, doesn't it. But it's not crazy.  There are many studies that link higher pay to working out. The most recent one is from 2012 in the June issue of the Journal of Labor Research, The results of the study found that employees who regularly exercise earn 9% more than their counterparts. Previous studies have only been able to show a correlation and not a

Self Motivation - Keep up the Good Work! Yesterday, I went out an purchased a new bright red pair of shoes for myself. Almost like Dorthy's slippers. To be honest, I probably didn't really need them. So why would I spend my hard earned money on a purchase that is not insignificant and not needed. That's the trick to rewarding yourself. I have achieved some of my goals. If you saw my blog post on 10 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Exercise then you will see that I have recommended that you give yourself rewards when you follow through with your goals.
