Complimentary Ashtanga Yoga!
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic, vinyasa style of yoga, developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. This style follows a set series of postures that combine breath with flowing movement to generate heat and detoxify the body. In this yoga class, we'll explore the sun salutations, the fundamental standing poses and select poses from the Primary Series.
Our wonderful and talented Yoga instructor, Jayme Gianola, will be leading the Ashtanga Yoga.
Class are scheduled to be on:

Diary of a Personal Trainer: Day 48
4.5 hours of torture, but seriously, I had the most interesting 4.5 hour medical yesterday at Medcan. Frankly, in anticipation, I was so worried I could hardly think. I must say it was an enlightening experience and convenient to have so many professionals in one room.
I had all the woman stuff and a bevy of x-rays (I think I am glowing).
It was great to get confirmation that I was doing the right things to take care of myself
The doctor could not stress enough the need for physical activity and, all the practitioners were in great shape so,
Try this lunge exercise
Holding a ball with some bounce
Step into a lunge position, twist and bounce the ball to the outside of the leg that's extended (alternating legs, 3 sets of 10 reps each side)
(Your thighs and obliques will love you for this)
The nutritionist was an advocate of foodlogs (not every day) she thought it was a great way to check in every once in a while.
I will start my food log tomorrow; I had to fast for 12 hours and now I just want to sleep
1:00 pm Green salad with beans and tofu with balsamic
3:00 pm Apple with (very small) whole wheat wrap with chicken and hummus
6:00 pm Hemp granola mix (I was so hungry)
What a day! Tomorrow is another day
Peace out
Thanks pk

Diary of a Personal Trainer: Day 47
Attack of the hormones!!!! Let's start with a workout. So far, we have done a triceps and a shoulder workout, let's do a leg workout.
Holding light weight above head (straight arms) alternating lunges 10 on each leg
10 jumping jacks
Narrow leg position, squat (knees and bum parallel)
Squat deep, lift up half way for 2 seconds, squat deep then, all the way up 12 repetitions
Legs close together - 10 tuck jumps
Repeat the above 3 x stretch and abs
Now for what I have been avoiding
4:00 am Calcium and water
5:30 am Hemp cereal
9:00 am Apple
9:30 am 45 minutes cardio and abs
11:00 am Omelette with veggies, 1/2 a bagel - the hormones are kicking in and I must run out of the restaurant before Iorder pasta
1:00 pm Soya milk with 2 chai tea bags
Now I could have been OK with just having a handful of almonds when I got home at 5:30 pm but, Kettle chips were dancing around my head instead....
5:30 pm Salted pistachio's
7:00 pm 1.5 hour power uphill (maybe it was a mountain) walk
That didn't work
9:00 pm Carrots, beets and 1 meatball (that did it)
Let hope I can calm down tomorrow.
Peace

Diary of a Personal Trainer: Day 46
We worked out the arms yesterday, lets do some shoulders. The difference is that we'll combine shoulder exercises with some movement for more conditioning.
Depending on your fitness level use a step or step up on a bench when needed.
Step up on a bench while doing a dumbell shoulder press (5 reps on leg, 5 on the other)
(Make sure weight is medium struggle)
3-5 minutes run or power walk on the treadmill
Legs in a squat position holding light dumbells - squat and on the way up, side raises (12 repetitions)
3-5 minutes on stairmaster or elliptical
Stay in the squat position, palms face down - squat with straight arm front raises
3-5 minutes run or power walk on the treadmill
Stretch at the end
Eating habit today?
4:00 am water and calcium
5:30 am hemp granola
9:00 am apple
10:30 am 40 minutes cardio and a quad workout
12:00 pm soya milk (grande) and 2 chai tea bags
1:00 pm omelette
4:30 pm protein shake
6:00 pm teach boot camp (slowing down)
7:30 pm handful of almonds and tons of water (had throughout the day)
Early to bed!!!
Peace
Connie
