Here is a 30 minute HIIT circuit whole body workout.  Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds with 30 seconds of rest.  Due to intensity, I do not recommend performing HIIT more than a couple times per week. It is unnecessary for fat loss.  Just sticking to a consistent slight caloric deficit is best for trimming down.  However, occasionally doing this kind of workout will help to accelerate fat loss and is excellent for muscular endurance, cardiovascular health, and sports performance.  Battling Ropes – Waves Battling Ropes – Ins and Outs Lateral Shuffle Mountain Climbers Jump Rope Jumping Lunges Kettlebell Swings Kettlbell Snatches Squat Press with Strength Band Rows with Strength Band #HIIT #fatloss #weightloss #endurance #muscle #kettlebell #workout #bootcampworkout #outdoorworkout #battlingropes #fitfam #fitness #personaltrainer #personaltraining #personaltrainertoronto #personaltrainerwoodbridge #personaltrainingtoronto #personaltraineroakville #personaltrainerburlington #personaltrainerhamilton #circuittraining #onlinepersonaltrainer (at Bennington Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFbG1hrNEE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Best Six Pack Ab and Obliques Home Workout

[ptintoronto]

Here is my pandemic program I have been following for the past 6 months (occasionally swapping exercises and adjusting training variables).   I will post a workout every day this wk. These videos show the progress I have made during the lockdown.  I put on muscle mass and have gone from 225lb to 190lb (at 6 ft tall). I have  lost 7 inches around my waist (40” to 33”).  I cleaned up my diet and eliminated treats like ice cream, chips, cookies etc.  I also quit alcohol 2 yrs ago. I have one treat and not-so-healthy dinner per wk.  I use a protein powder blend (whey, casein, egg) and a multivitamin.  I take magnesium and zinc before bed.  I consume around 160g-200g of protein per day from eggs, cheese, Icelandic yogurt, chicken, beans, hemp seeds etc. 1. Chest  2. Abs, Obliques, and Lower Back 3. Legs (Hamstring Focus) and Glutes  4. Back 5. Legs (Quads Focus), Glutes, and Calves 6. Shoulders and Rotator Cuff 7. Biceps and Triceps - I stretch and roll a couple times per wk.   Let’s get to it! Here is my Chest workout.  Each exercise is 3 to 4 sets and 5-12 reps.  I typically use pyramid style with escalating weight each set.  Tempo is 3 second negatives and 1 second positive. Message me for lifting cues and techniques. Check back tomorrow for my Abs, Obliques, and Lower Back workout.  Chest Dips Decline Press Hammer Grip Flat Press Strength Band Uppercut Strength Band Fly If you are interested in working with me, I offer online personal training worldwide and in-person training in Grimsby, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and Toronto.

Here is a rare, non-fitness related post that is just too good not to share!  It is just too cute and heart-warming.  Last weekend, Hamid @hammirockstar , his son, and I went out boating at Port Credit.  We found a duckling that was abandoned.  It followed our boat and would not leave us.  It kept returning.  We tried to bring it to the ducks around the area but it was rejected.  We brought him home and my friend’s kid named him Spot.  We fed it and let it play in the backyard.  It saw us as parents.  It would follow us around and not let us out of sight.  Mississauga/Halton Wildlife Rescue was called and they picked up Spot.  I can only hope this duckling finds a loving family and home.  #cute #nature #duck #duckling #wildlife #torontowildlife #portcredit #happiness #happy #love #animals #babyanimals  (at Port Credit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ0nUyCMtRJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mixed Exercises IG Have you hit a plateau and are looking to make workouts more challenging and fun?  I typically focus on a few standard exercises for each muscle group and tweak the weights and tempos. I recommend everyone tries to master foundational exercises and adjust variables. But sometimes I like to mix up exercises and add new ones.  Here is a mix of upper body exercises for shoulders, traps, biceps, abs and obliques.  In this video series: undulation bicep curls with kettlebells attached to booty bands, undulation shoulder presses with kettlebells attached to strength bands, side with kettlebells attached to booty bands, uppercuts with kettlebells attached to booty bands, landmine angled shrugs, landmine presses, side raises and rainbows, reverse grip floor press with kettlebells, and stability ball roll-outs with hip flexion with booty band.  #homeworkout #onlinepersonaltrainer #onlinepersonaltraining #personaltrainertoronto #personaltrainingtoronto #fitness #onlinefitness #abs #sixpack #arms #biceps #strength #armworkout #kettlebell #personaltrainer #personaltraining #fitfam #instafit #fitnesstrainer (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrbzLvs4dP/?igshid=g9ihgf9tu3qt

It has been a couple months since I have posted any fitness videos on social media.  I moved and was busy setting up.  I found an ideal apartment for workout videos and online training.  Training is coming along but I am maybe 2 or 3 months off achieving my goal of being in peak condition for my 40th birthday. Stay tuned to follow my progress. Let me help you achieve your own health and fitness goals. In home personal training is now permitted in Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville. Hopefully.restrictions will be lifted soon for Mississauga and Toronto. I also offer live online training. This shoulder and rotator cuff workout from last week included: dumbbell shoulder presses, kettlebell side raises, strength band reverse fly/pull apart, and incline bench scarecrows with kettlebells.   #onlinetraining #homeworkout #homepersonaltrainer #homepersonaltraining #shoulders #arms #armworkout #onlinetrainer #muscle #fitness #fitfam #strengthtraining #health #kettlebell #personaltrainertoronto #personaltrainerhamilton #oakvillepersonaltraining #personaltrainer #fitnesstrainer (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLjxcHsMKMs/?igshid=1sk6ag0zkj7ny

Chest and Back HIIT Home Workout - Strength Training and Fat Loss

[ptintoronto]

tend to like routine and my Sundays have been my designated calm recovery day.  Hiking is one of my favourite activities to meditate and be present and in touch with nature.  I really enjoy discovering new places and landscapes. Last Sunday, I explored Joshua Creek Trail in Oakville for the first time.  It is located south of the QEW around Ford Drive here:  https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/ontario/joshuas-creek-trail . It is such a beautiful, calm and peaceful place!  Here are some shots of the experience. #oakville #hiking #hike #nature #landscape #portrait #getoutside #active #exercise #fitness #fitfam #recovery #rest #beauty #ontario #adventure #explore #joshuacreektrail #forest #creek #canada #travel #photography (at Oakville, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIn2lMtHf5W/?igshid=1pxuocd937o9

Yet another shoulder- focused at home workout.  I no longer exercise at gyms.  I enjoy training at home more.  Never have to travel or wait for equipment and hear their horrible music.  Only 4 exercises and 4 sets each and no rest.  Total workout time was about 40 minutes.  Happy training everyone! #homeworkout #onlinetraining #onlineworkout #personaltraining #onlinepersonaltrainer #virtualpersonaltraining #virtualworkout #strength #muscle #fit #fitness #fitfam #fitspo #personaltrainertoronto #personaltraineroakville #homepersonaltraining #getfit #instafit #kettlebell #weights #bodybuilding #athlete (at Home :)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIihvFXnW9r/?igshid=1ko1ugwlqh55z
