EZfitness - In Home Personal Training

A dog on a leash taught me more about fitness than 10 years of training.

Most people won’t find out their training has gaps until life actually tests them.

A stumble, a fall, an awkward catch — those moments don’t care about your PR’s.

The older I get and the more people I train, the more I think the goal should be to build a body that surprises you when it counts — not one that just looks good standing still.

Stability and mobility aren’t sexy. But they’re the difference between a close call and a bad day.

And the frustrating thing is, most traditional training programs just don’t prioritize this stuff. Y

ou can be incredibly strong in a straight line and completely fall apart the second something unpredictable happens.

That’s the gap I try to close with the people I work with — making sure you’re strong through your full range of motion so your body is actually ready for the weird, awkward, unpredictable stuff.

Not just what happens in the gym.

Most trainers jump straight to goal weight. I don't.

During every assessment I do, there's something I'm always trying to dig underneath.

Not what you want to look like — but what being healthy actually means to you in your real life.
And most people have never thought about it that way.

Because they've spent so long chasing someone else's version of healthy that they've never stopped to define their own.

For most of my clients it comes down to things like getting off the floor without it being a whole ordeal.

Carrying groceries up the stairs without losing their breath.

Having energy that actually lasts through the day.

Those are the goals worth training for.

Finish this sentence for yourself: I'll know I'm healthy when I can _____.

Write it down somewhere you'll actually see it.

That answer will matter more to you six months from now than any before and after photo ever could.

Most people are dramatically overestimating how many calories they burn through exercise.

Here's the actual breakdown of your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure):

Exercise — 5 to 15%

Thermic Effect of Food — 10 to 15%

Non-Exercise Movement — 15 to 30%

Resting Metabolism — 60 to 70%

That last number is the one that surprises people.

You burn the majority of your daily calories just existing — breathing, pumping blood, keeping your organs running.

Which means the levers that actually move fat loss aren't always in the gym.

They're in how much you move throughout the day, what you're eating, how well you're sleeping, and how much muscle you've built over time.

Work out because it makes you stronger, healthier, and more capable.

Just don't expect it to do all the heavy lifting on its own.

Where you burn your calories in a day ⤵️

Send this to a friend that’s always trying to out exercise their crap diet 🙏🏼

Only a small amount of the calories you burn in a day come from exercise.

Most of the calories you burn come from factors outside of the gym like your daily movement, and just you existing.

So make sure to prioritize factors outside of the gym just as much, if not more than your workouts!

These are just a few of many fitness myths that I used to believe when I first started working out.

If you’re just starting out on your fitness journey you need to understand that its okay that you don’t know everything.

Even us fitness coaches are still learning new things regularly.

It would be naive to think that we “know it all”.

So don’t use your lack of knowledge as an excuse not to start, because the only way you’re going to figure it out is by taking those first steps to get started!

How to lose weight while eating junk food ⤵️

Did you know you can lose weight without avoiding your favourite junk foods for the rest of your life?

The only thing that matters for weight loss is a calorie deficit and the Tw***ie Diet Experiment proves that.

Now should you only eat junk food? Absolutely not.

But the odd indulgence isn’t going to derail you as much as you think it will as long as you get back on track the next day!

Sleep is probably the most important part of your overall health and is crucial for your weight loss goals… Stop skipping it and start making it a priority!

🚫 The Unspoken Truth of the Fitness Industry…

Picture your life with a 6-pack and imagine how amazing it would be, right?

But here's what they don't tell you: the sacrifices required to get there are no joke.

These influencers give up everything that brings joy to the average person.

Want a glass of wine with dinner? Think again.

Craving potato chips? Think again.

Love those Timbits? (Shoutout to my fellow Canadians!) Think again.

Want an extra episode of Greys instead of 8 hours of sleep? Think again.

Now, I'm being a bit extreme here, but trust me, a perfectly optimized life sucks.

Our goal is to find balance along this spectrum, creating the healthiest version of YOU!

It's a common struggle to balance work and fitness goals, but it's important to make time for yourself and prioritize your health.

Taking care of yourself not only benefits you, but it also helps you perform better at work and in other areas of your life.

Firstly, schedule your workout into your calendar.

By scheduling it in, you're more likely to stick to it and make it a priority.

Secondly, try going for a 10-minute walk after each meal.

This is a great way to fit movement into your day without a big time commitment.

It also helps with digestion and can help you feel more energized throughout the day.

Lastly, learn to say no.

It's important to set boundaries and prioritize your health.

You don't have to say no to everything, but you should prioritize what's most important to you, and that includes your health.

Remember, your health should always be a priority!

We all have those moments after a meal when we mindlessly scroll through our phones.

But why not make those minutes count?

Swap your phone addiction for a quick 5-minute walk around the block.

It's not about complicated workouts or trendy routines you got off social media.

It's about using daily movement to burn extra calories, to help create a calorie deficit.

Embrace the power of small, consistent steps to achieve your weight loss goals!

Hope this helps,
