That time I met with Madonna’s personal trainer! What?!

November 30, 2013 by Sonya 4 Comments

I'm one of those people who don't enjoy working out. I always say, "I don't run...unless it's on sale." But don't get me wrong, I totally admire those people who are sooooo motivated and dedicated to working out. Maybe  I just haven't found my "calling" yet. Yeah, that's it. So, when I was … [Read more...]

Just Do It!

March 10, 2009 by Kath

It has been a long, cold winter so far. We have survived the coldest months of 2009.  We have seen it all...snow, ice and frigid temperatures.  As a personal trainer whose primary job is to motivate, the weather this winter has made my job extremely challenging.  Nobody wants to walk … [Read more...]

My Gym Slave

January 31, 2008 by Jen

I love my personal trainer, Shaun. She's so thoughtful and interesting; she just keeps me motivated and wanting to come back for more. Like for instance, today we were talking about dancers, and the conversation meandered over to Riverdance. I said I'd love to take my girls to it, and she mentioned … [Read more...]

Staying Positive

January 29, 2008 by Jen

Happy New Year!  As the resident “fitness expert” at urbanmoms.ca, I have decided this year to focus more on writing about my life as a newly single mom and relate that to wellness rather than focusing solely on exercises.  Writing this blog has really helped me to heal and the support I … [Read more...]

Fresh Start

January 28, 2008 by Jen

Last night I ate three large chocolate-chip-M&M cookies. From Costco, so you know how big they were. It was sort of a farewell to bad foods fiesta, because today is Day One of my Isagenix cleanse. The Hubster and I are doing this, together with Jen, and we hope to flush a lifetime of … [Read more...]

Agley

January 24, 2008 by Jen

You know, like the Robert Burns poem? The best laid plans of mice and men gang oft agley... Well, my plans to get my workout in yesterday morning gang very definitely agley. First off, the Hubster's car had to go into the dealer for repairs, so he had to take my van to work; but he doesn't leave … [Read more...]

Have Trainer, Will Ache

January 22, 2008 by Jen

Ouch! How sore is my butt right now? No wait...don't answer that question... So, you may have guessed by now (oh, so clever you are) that I had my first session with my awesome personal trainer, Shaun, yesterday. Today, I cannot stand up from a chair without pushing up with my arms. Like we all did … [Read more...]

Me And My Trainer

January 15, 2008 by Jen

Well, today I had my first visit with my new personal trainer. How did it go, you ask? Well...it went well! It wasn't too strenuous, it being the first time we'd met and the first chance she'd had to see me in action, so to speak. I warmed up lightly for 30 minutes on the treadmill, and she gave me … [Read more...]

20 Pounds and Counting

January 8, 2008 by Jen

WEIGHT UP/DOWN THIS WEEK: +1.8POUNDS TO GO TO GOAL: 21.8 There is, evidently, no justice in this world. I went back on Weight Watchers program last week, and now, one week later, I actually weigh more than I did when I started. Oh! And I went to the gym three times - two aerobic workouts and a … [Read more...]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

November 20, 2007 by Jen

I have learned a lot about myself in the last few months.  Some of it good.  Some of it not so good.  Some of it downright ugly.  I have been a single mom for about 5 months now.  Just to let you know, I survived Thanksgiving intact.  And I survived my son’s 8th … [Read more...]
