Speak to @ryanharman5, our in-house WAG coach (and WAG client) or swipe left to see and read below what our Mind-Set member, @daniellebarbz has to say about her journey on WAG. Becoming a Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning client and joining WAG were two of the best decisions I've ever made. I can't think of a bett...er partnership and am so excited for all the new MSC members who will now be able to enjoy everything WAG has to offer. I have lost 40 pounds, and more importantly, have gained such a better understanding of food and how to properly fuel myself. WAG offers programming that is adaptable, individualized and flexible, unlike many other nutrition programs. I never thought I could commit to this kind of lifestyle change and now I can't imagine going back to how things were before. #TeamWAG #WAGgoals #macrotracking #mindsetsc #torontofitness #bootcamp #liftingwomen #torontogym #scarboroughfitness #advancedstrengthandconditioning @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning See more

Relish the challenge of overcoming difficulties that would crush ordinary men...learn to suffer. Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification, but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort, is necessarily shallow. You become what you do. - Mark Twight Start your week off with the right mind-set!

We often talk about the Mind-Set that many workouts require and sometimes you will hear me talk about working through the "Pain Cave". This is the ability to push yourself to the wall and when your head is screaming STOP you have the confidence and determination to dig deep and keep going. If you every want to see an example of this just peak over at Stephen in any workout with burpees. Today we had a workout that called for high volume of burpees over the bar. This is a m...ovement that manages to quickly put Stephen in the position where everything is screaming to stop. About halfway into his first of two rounds of 40 burpees I told Stephen, already knowing what his answer would be, that he had the option of going to the 30 minute mark in the workout or finishing no matter how long it took. Stephen didn't let me down and decided to finish. After 41 minutes he finished his last rep of this 300 rep workout. This was about 10 minutes off the pace of some of the others, but he was the only one to complete the workout RX and so was sitting at the top of the leader board when I left the gym this morning. Stephen hates to get time capped and not finish a workout. No matter how deep into the pain cave he goes he has the mind-set and determination to finish strong. He gives everything he has in every workout and because of this he has made massive improvements in just a few months. He is looking better and he has told me a number of times that he feels so much better since he started. His consistency and determination can be seen every day and his eagerness to improve each day makes him a breeze to coach. Thank you @darkpuppet for your efforts everyday and for doing it all with a smile. Coach Ian #athleteoftheweek @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

A great coach designs a program for their athletes that challenges them, pushes them beyond their boundaries and helps them see results. Listen closely, pay attention and watch your goals be achieved after every blood sweat and tear.

Stretching independently or as a part of a fitness routine has many beneficial effects that can be felt even during exercises themselves. Take time to breath, move and recover in your daily routine. #mindset

Strength, motivation, perseverance and power. Great way to reflect and set your mind for the week. #mindset

Workout Tip of the Week ~ Coach Chris @aweelittlething Pay attention to your warm up. So many athletes will say, I ran here, I’m warmed up. No, you’re not. Or they go through the same warm up routine for every work out, regardless of the workout’s objectives. This is a time to reinforce good technique, assess the degree of muscle soreness you have from earlier in the week and explore range of motion limitations so there are no surprises once the WOD starts. Our best athletes use this time wisely with a general warmup followed by dynamic movements specifically chosen for the day’s work. Focus! It will pay dividends in the long run. #mindset @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

It’s in the quiet times, the struggles, the moments of darkness when we see our strength and step through. See your full self at the other end. Our @mindsetsc athletes embody this to the core. #community

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. #mindset

We do it to be healthy, to live longer, to have more energy in life and we do it for each other bc right here right now is what it is all about. @mindsetsc

Workout Tip of the Week ~ Want to be a fire breather? Well you better learn how to breath first. Proper breathing during a HIIT workout can be the difference between going one more round and asking the room to stop spinning, while you lay in the fetal position questioning life. Tips:... Don’t hold your breath, as this can kill you and you can’t be a fire breather if you are not breathing because you are dead. Don’t be the creepy shallow mouth breather. Leave that to us coaches while we standing around and torture you like a happy serial killer. This type of breathing will cause you to let out to much carbon dioxide and constrict your blood vessels, which means less oxygen getting in to be used in creating more energy. Do inhale through the nose and exhale from the mouth. This will help build a pattern of breathing in and out, which helps stop you from holding your breath and thus not killing you. Do use the rhythm method. I know, I know your entire life you were warned against it, but here it will actually work. Find a rhythm for each workout or with each movemenet. When doing aerobic work, establish a rhythm that flows with the movement. Like exhale in the drive of the row and inhale in the recovery. When doing anaerobic work, you will want to exhale with the explosive component of the movement. Do breath deeply, with the inhale through the nose being longer than the exhale from the mouth. Do practice your nose breathing during warm ups and build on being able to do this more and more. This is a skill and like any other skill it will require practice. So to breath fire you need to breath deeply, inhale through the nose and find rhythm. Coach Ian @dunkn_021

We’re wishing our Athlete Caileigh @caileighgrace good luck this Sunday as she competes in her first Powerlifting Competition representing @mindsetsc. Her journey is amazing, those that know her know hard she has worked for this moment and she makes us so proud for the strong powerful women she has become.

Today is my tomorrow. It’s up to me to shape it, to take control and seize every opportunity. The power is in the choices I make each day. I eat well, I love well. I shape me. #mindset

Please join us in celebrating our Athlete of the Week Carolyn @carolynfrail My favorite thing about working with Carolyn is her silent determination. Once the clock starts she is laser focused on giving her best performance, but without being obnoxious, risking injury or alienating the group. This is my favorite quality in a CrossFit athlete and Carolyn models this behavior naturally. Coach Chrissy @aweelittlething #athleteoftheweek @mindsetsc @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

It’s in the details. @mindsetsc Don’t ignore the accessory work. Accessory exercises make you stronger and more adept in a variety of movement patterns, but they'll also help you get better and stronger at your primary exercises. As coaches we spend a lot of time making sure our programming accounts not only the big lifts and movements but balancing with accessory work that supports in helping to build strength around or a compliment for those muscles for our athletes ~ Coach @mrsharman2015 #workouttip @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

Pick a partner, push each other to be better than yesterday, and do it with laughter and attitude. Get the the work done. @mindsetsc #mindsettshirts order yours today.

Workout Tip of the Week - Coach @ryanharman5 Strength Training and Cardio Most coaches say that cardio interferes with an athletes strength or hypertrophy gains. Research agrees that concurrent training leads to less than optimal results when compared to strength training exclusively. The majority of this research swings too far one way or the other. Should you run 15k and then the next day try for a 1RM Back Squat? Probably not!... Cardio can help strength training by: Improving mitochondrial health Better recovery between training sessions Less likely to get injured Better temperature control Better waste removal Better shuttling of nutrients to muscles. Make sure you have a properly designed program that allows you to strength train, cardio and provides enough rest. It all boils down to rest and recovery and making sure you get the proper prescription for what you are training for. @mindsetsc #workouttips #trainwithapurpose @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

Get ready to run into a week full of goal crashing, heavy lifting, fears conquered, sweat and tears full of effort and knowing you got this! You are ready to show up and crush it! @mindsetsc

YOU ARE INTENSE YOU ARE OBSESSED YOU ARE NOT NORMAL You say YES when others say no... You RISE while others sleep You are BETTER today than you were yesterday You DO what others will not do You CONTROL your density YOU ARE ON A QUEST NEVER STOP @mindsetsc

Today was a day we stood outside our excuses or mental barriers and did a workout in honour of all the men and women that sacrificed for our lives, MURPH. To every athlete that came out today, some faces faces new and old. Thank you for bringing your heart, mental toughness and just giving it your all in 36 feeling like 43 degree weather with the humidity. @mindsetsc driven by hardwork and like minded people. #community #murph @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

You can see obstacles or opportunities every time you step through the door. What do you choose? What will you let define you? @mindsetsc

Join our 8pm Monday to Friday Motion & Mobility Class. Build strength, through functional movements and understanding how your posture relates to the everything you do on a daily basis. @mindsetsc @daniellegiroux @amirgolbazi

"Murph" For time: 1 mile Run 100 Pull-ups... 200 Push-ups 300 Squats 1 mile Run In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. Let’s all come together to honour all the men and women that sacrifice for us everyday. FREE. Come work hard, for a brief moment put yourself in their shoes. Monday July 2 at 9am. @mindsetsc Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it. @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

Be present in those tough moments so you can appreciate the journey that got you there and where you are going. @mindsetsc

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. @mindsetsc

Mobility is the ability to effectively and safely perform the universal human movements, such as squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, crawling, and rolling, that are required for functional living. Many think that mobility means flexibility, but flexibility is only one component of mobility. Being able to move a joint through its full range of motion requires flexibility; being able to comfortably sit back into a correct squat requires both flexibility and a degree of neuromuscular control. Mobility plays a massive role in improving movement quality and preventing injuries throughout life. Coaches tip of the week @mrsharman2015 @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

Athlete of the week ~ Larry Man from our CrossFit WE Class A true inspiration in the gym, Larry shows up consistently and works as hard as possible every class. He is easy to coach and loves to get better with each movement. I often forget that he is almost 65 years young. He lifts and pushes just as hard as members 20-30 years his junior. After class you will generally find Larry still working on something and putting in that extra work and it is really paying off with ne...w PRs starting to come each week. If you are wondering where all the 10lbs plates went just look for Larry, as he is probably deadlifting a new PR and loves to use as many plates as possible. He says It looks cool. Watching Larry work as hard as he does makes everyone want to push a little bit harder. Now if he could wake up those lazy hips he might just improve his golf game too! Coach Ian #athleteoftheweek #mindset @ Mind-Set Strength & Conditioning

Workout Tip of the Week ~ Coach Chris @aweelittlething Let’s talk sleep routine. Irregular sleep patterns will wreak havoc on hormones and make your goals harder to achieve. Sleep in a blacked out room. Get enough sleep. Go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. This stacks the deck in you favor and tells your coach you’re serious about doing the work outside of the gym that needs to be done to make your goals happen.
