HARD WORK PAYS OFF I met maddie quite a few years ago, but only as an acquaintance. Our journey training together all started when my daughter was sick and my wife and I had rushed her to the hospital. It had been a couple years since we even saw one another, and that day I saw her in emerge and I couldn’t have been more grateful for that. See, Maddie is an emerge nurse and as soon as she saw I was there with my daughter she fast tracked our file and gave it right to a do...ctor she trusted and knew would give Audrey the care she required. This event speaks VOLUMES to the person Maddie is. Not only does she work her ass of to help others everyday but she goes above an beyond. I know a BIG thing in the fitness industry are these crazy body transformations, which are impressive and you can’t take that hard workout away from those individuals who have shown their discipline and consistency. These journeys are not easy, but man are they rewarding and SO worth it! The body transformations are amazing but I really love to focus on some of the things that photos can’t capture, the changes that happen on the inside. These feelings, the new sense of confidence, how good that person feels, and the smiles that goes along with it. You will get more than a before and after photo. You will get MOVEMENT on the inside and out. You will get shifts that take place deep down in your core. Like I said earlier, these journeys are not easy, but I can certainly assure you, you will be smiling and you wont want the journey to end. I am so grateful that Maddie was there that day at the hospital, and even more grateful that now through all of her gruelling sessions (not always gruelling..just jazzing this up a bit) we have become friends... let’s be real, we became friends on day 1! Haha (And soon to be neighbours ) I’m really proud of you @maddiechef for your hard work, dedication and your transformation (inside and out) and You should be proud too. Thank you for putting your trust in me, and allowing me to come along for the ride.

Yesterday was our second wedding anniversary and today we celebrate us being together for 10 years.

Big shout out to my friend @balkanada for letting me utilize his talents by putting this video together and for helping me get some brownie points this anniversary!

LUNGE I thought this would be an appropriate tip as many of us are exercising at home. Body weight movement are very accessible at the moment (that said if you have weights and have the technique down add load to the movement). As mentioned in the clip, I put the lunge into my physical assessment, and a lateral step down in my movement screening to properly assess an individuals knee path when bearing load. ... In many of the cases when an individuals knee collapses during a lunge, it’s a direct correlation with walking/running with a collapsed knee path as well as, going up and down stairs. Some of these movements may not seem to have high impact at that moment but over time there is wear and tear accumulating, and not just in the knee. When a knee collapses, it throws off the Center pressure on your foot creating stress within you foot and ankle joint, keep moving up the chain where it can also creat damage in your hips and back. Whether you are performing this movement with your body or adding weight in, use this tip to help ensure a safer movement. Also, when you’re walking up and down stairs take a look down and see if you can see your foot, if your knee is blocking you line of site to your foot, your knee is collapsing. Try and keep center pressure on your foot and drive that knee out a little until you can see you at least your first two toes. #sherwoodpt #tiptuesday #newmarketpersonaltraining #lunge #kneepath #centerpressure #backtothebasics

Humanity Today was the first day that our gym doors were officially closed. These are scary times we are living in. It really makes you realize some of things we take for granted, like seeing your friends (in person), hugging your family, and even something as simple as shaking someone’s hand. With this rapidly evolving situation my perspective can flip in an instant. One minute I’m cool, calm and collected then the next I’m scared, worried and stressed out. I know that ...my wife and I are taking the necessary precautions to keep our daughter safe and protected. But on the flip side I worry about my mom and dad who still have to be at work, my older family members and those with pre-existing health conditions. I worry about Our business, Sherwood personal training, as it’s currently the primary source of income for our family. I know they are saying this is temporary but the effects of this virus are paralyzing for small Businesses. I’ve tried to write something for the last few days but my mind is in a million places that I haven’t been able to get a thought written down. - how can I service my existing client? - How can I provide service to those in isolation? (everyone) - How can I first hand help our community while keeping my family and everyone else safe? We’re figuring this out as we go, adapting as quickly as we can, definitely before we felt ready, but we don’t want to let our community down. At a time like this it has to be humanity over everything, we are all in this together... If there’s a way I can help you, please reach out, I will do what I can. I chose this photo because every time I look at it, it makes me smile. It’s one of those photos that really reminds me how grateful I am for what I have. And during a time like this, we can all use that reminder. Send a pic, make a call, or FaceTime with someone that makes you feel that way too! Stay safe!

PWR OF MVMT New home workout plan available, PAY WHAT YOU CAN (from $20) In emotional and mentally stressful times, fitness has provided me with a fo...undation to bring me back into my body and out of my head.
