You were made to twist. Let's talk about T-spine (Mid Back) mobility. When your t-spine is tight, it can limit movement and cause other muscles to over compensate, leading to pain and dysfunction. So how do we fix it? Reach, bend and twist! If you don't move it, you lose it. We tend to stop these movements, especially twisting, as we get older. That's why it's super important to keep them in your workout routine! ... #yxefitness #yxe #yxeliving #saskatoonfitness #yxepersonaltrainer

Good ol Saskatchewan weather! If you don't have access or own a snowblower here are some tips for shovelling! Do not rush, the snow isn't going anywhere and probably neither are you Bend at the hips and push your chest out when lifting the snow, avoid rounding your back... Take breaks and watch your heart rate. If you feel chest pain, dizziness or nausea stop and monitor Make sure you are dressed appropriately, it was +15 C less than a week ago... Stay safe out there yxe!

Your mindset matters. If you go into every workout thinking "it has to be hard enough so that I burn X amount of calories or else I'm wasting my time" If before every meal you are thinking "I definitely can't eat over X amount of calories or else I'll be over eating for the day" ... In the long run you are going to fail. View each workout as a way to improve your movement skills, and to move your body because you love it. View each meal as a way to gain nutrients and energy. Yes even pizza will give you energy! Your mindset needs to start with LOVE for your body, not punishment to obtain a certain result. Love your body and it will respond #yxe #yxefitness #yxepersonaltrainer #saskatoonfitness #saskatoon #mentalhealth #saskatoonpersonaltrainer

A healthy diet includes foods you love. Yes, even foods that everyone karen will say are "bad" for you. The fad "diets" that you see or hear everyone doing do work. But only for a short period of time, it simply is not sustainable to eat like a robot all the time. Food has flavor, it was meant to be enjoyed! ... If you are struggling to find a sustainable diet that you enjoy then shoot me a message! #yxefitness #yxe #saskatoon #saskatoonfitness #saskatoonpersonaltrainer #yxeliving

Still have the mindset that you "need" to lose weight? Your body was made to move, food is our source of energy to allow that movement to happen. Your goal everyday should be to, fuel your body and move. STOP punishing your body by not eating and doing a bunch of hard cardio... STOP picking yourself apart in the mirror START looking at your food as energy START training to improve movement efficiency Switch your focus and you will be surprised how quickly you see results #yxe #yxefitness #saskatoonfitness #saskatoon #healthy #yxepersonaltrainer #bodydismophia #bodypositivity

Live workout (June 10)

How can we change our mindsets? The main stream view of exercise, is that it is a tool to lose weight. What if we viewed our training as a way allow us to do the things we love? ... What if we used our training to prepare our bodies for that super intense HIIT workout or that long distance run? Your training can be so much more than just a "quick sweat session" so that you burn some calories. If you want to know more shoot me a DM. #yxe #yxefitness #yxepersonaltrainer #saskatoonfitness #saskatoon

As things keep opening up, my schedule is going to be a little all over the place! But here is this upcoming weeks schedule.

Full body mobility (June 4)

Workout (June 3)

Hey guys, I had a core workout planned for today. But with everything going on I have decided to participate in blackout Tuesday. Please feel free to use one of my older videos if you would like a workout. However, I do encourage you, instead, to take the time and look at some of the resources I have linked below. I do not believe social media posts evoke change, I do believe that education can. Sometimes simply taking a minute to reflect on yourself and your own actions can ...change your outlook. https://truenorthaid.ca/how-to-help-first-nations/ https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/e/1100100013778/1100100013779 https://blacklivesmatter.com/
