Squat wars. Freddy and Evelyn wanted to see who can do more squats between the 2. The 2 wanted me to come up with a game and rules.... We moved a weight. I gave them a weight that was a third of their body weight. If we just did body weight it would take forever. What was funny between the 2 is they were so competitive with each other and tried to do more squats than each other. The competitiveness turned into encouragement. Push yourself. Today is a great day to get stronger.

Covid-19 update for all Students ______________________________________________________ British Columbia Health Authority announced yesterday that Martial Arts Classes are included in the list of authorized indoor physical activity. Level UP Fitness has worked closely with Fraser Health to understand the new precautions that must be taken. It is important now more than ever for our students to follow and understand our Covid-19 Prevention Plan to insure we can remain open ...and stay Covid free during these difficult times. We will be approaching our opening this Monday as we did back in June with the following: 1. All classes will be non contact maintaining 6 feet social distancing at all times! Level UP Fitness staff will guide students upon entering. Screening and temperature checks, and sanitizing before entering the designated training area.

TOWELS WILL BE MANDATORY for each student to bring. 3. Only students taking classes will be permitted and parents must wait inside their vehicles until classes are finished. We urge students to only come 5 minutes before their class and to wait in their vehicles until they are called to line up at the door by Level UP Fitness staff. Students will be asked to leave immediately after class through the designated exit . This is to ensure that there will be less contact between individuals. 4. All mats, pads, and any other gear our students come into contact with will be sanitizer using hospital grade cleaners between classes. 5. Students that use the weight training section will be assigned a disinfectant spray bottle which you will use before and after touching any equipment. 6.

Quick hip flips. The purpose of this movement is leaning how to move back wards while keeping your eyes forward. The athlete has to push force through the ball of the toe off the lead leg. The trailing leg is making adjustments of leg movement based off the lead leg. The switch happens off the second push, the trailing legs stay stationary and the lead leg now transitions into the trailing leg. Repeat.... Once the athlete is comfortable with the motion the goal is to move quicker. The goal of Level Up Fitness is to make regular people into athletes. Benefits of being athletic. Understand how to use your body Decrease in injuries. Understand how to push your body. Become more in tune with your body Connecting brain to body Think faster Burn more calories Invest in your family and yourself. Not yet a member? Message us for more details. Level Up!

Brace yourself. We are living during a weird time right now. Do the things that make you heathy and happy. Be with your family. I know during stressful times it’s difficult to have fun or to see a end but we will get through this. ... We have to take this day by day. Fighting and arguing with people cause more stress than anything else. If you are reading comments or reading articles that spike your heart rate. Stop and do something else. Create a better balance in your body and brain. Again, we will get through this. In order to get through this we got to be smart, strong and tough. All about balance. Tough times do not last. Tough people do. Eat healthy, get good sleep, exercise at your home, stimulate the brain, get outside where it’s safe. Breathe. Where a mask at appropriate times. Pet a puppy if you see one. Keep your distance from people but show love and respect to your fellow human. We are all having a rough time. I included. I’m not special. I have no idea when we can do group classes again but fingers crossed we can get some work, some sweat and some muscles stimulated. Stay strong.

Another week of gym shut downs. It’s easy to say that I have been stressed because of closures during these times. After the first reopening we had to do more work with fewer people in each class. Now there is a great deal of uncertainty of how we will be able to proceed with classes. ... It seems strange that as a motivator I could lose motivation for teaching fitness. I am kept motivated by knowing that I have been able to help other people through fitness. I’m very lucky that after I informed people that I had to shut the gym down for the week I got a great deal of motivating messages from people at the gym. The people I see on the daily including my family makes me understand why I do this kind of work. Not only is it rewarding to me but rewarding the people that put hard work into themselves to be healthier and stronger. Tough times do not last. Tough people do.

Happy Halloween!!! Stay safe and have fun!

To become great at something you have to start. Today, is a great day to start. Get out of your comfort and became the best you can be. Invest in your children and yourself so they and you will have the strength and confidence in their life to tackle life’s most difficult problems. We can’t make life easier, we have to get stronger.

Level UP members, As you have probably heard by now our provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has introduced new health regulations. Included in those regulations are instructions to stop all group classes until a new Covid-19 plan is approved by a local health officer or until November 23rd. ... With the surge in cases and with the new mandates we will not be holding strength and conditioning classes this week. We will reassess what will be the best practice for the following week.
