Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've shared, and I'm excited to give you a peek into one of my workouts near the end of my previous workout block. Starting off strong, deadlifts take center stage as my primary focus. Recently, I've transitioned from conventional to sumo style, aiming to enhance my leg drive for squats while minimizing strain on my lower back. In the first video, you'll see me crush a deadlift at 5lbs over my previous post-injury PR. This was a result of mainly the change in technique as sumo offers more quad usage and slightly due to an increase in my overall strength. In the second video, I hit a new post-injury PR at 370lbs. Despite starting with high intensity, the lift moved smoothly, showcasing the progress made. Following deadlifts, I incorporated two sets of pull-ups, emphasizing initial power production and controlled eccentric movements with full range of motion. Then, I transitioned to lat pull-downs, utilizing the max advantage grip implement to focus on slow eccentrics and maximizing stretch for hypertrophy. For mid/upper trap and rhomboid activation, I incorporated high pronated grip cable rows, maintaining a neutral spine to minimize lower back strain post-deadlifts. Wrapping up the session, I targeted my rear delts with cable flys, addressing a recent observation of weakness impacting other lifts. Deadlift: (accidental 50lbs plate) 345lbs x 4 370lbs x 1 Pullups 4 x 2 Lat pulldown 160lbs x 10 x 3 High pronated cable rows 140lbs x 12 x 3 Rear delt cable flys 25lbs x 12

Have you heard of Pediatric Kinesiology? Working with the pediatric population started for me when I coached horseback riding to youth with Autism. I knew I wanted to help children of various abilities with their physical & emotional wellbeing. What I didn’t know was that I would fall head over heels for working with this population. In the 5th year of my degree, I did my capstone project on pediatric kinesiology and had the privilege to volunteer in the pediatric department of multiple local clinics. I am now starting to implement it as part of my own practice. Pediatric Kinesiology is geared toward helping children gain physical and emotional independence through activity focusing on fine and gross motor skill development. This is often done by playing “games” that aim to help the child work on their strength, endurance, balance, coordination and overall body awareness. Examples of pediatric intervention: 1. Nature walks/Park free play ☀️ 2. Catching/throwing games 🏈 3.Obstacle courses 🧗♂️ 4. Recreational activities - biking, swimming, rollerblading 🚴 5. Mindfulness activities 🧘 Our community is vastly lacking the support for families of children with diverse abilities, and I am thrilled to be the person to bridge that gap and be a safe space for the children who need it.♥️ #nanaimokinesiology #pediatrickinesiology #nanaimomoms #nanaimo #nanaimofitness #nanaimoautism

Meet my client and now friend Miss “A” ( keeping her anonymous ) 🫶 ♐️ This lady was never really what we would call overweight, she was “skinny/loose” and not very strong in terms of muscle and core strength! ☪️ She is a busy mom of 3 very busy teenagers and has an extremely demanding career ♐️ She had very little time or motivation to workout on her own but had a full functioning gym in her home ☮️ We met almost 2 years ago and she was very skeptical about changing her diet and exercise regime but was willing to give it go as she had a family trip booked and wanted to be toned and much stronger than she was at the time 💟 We got her going right away and her and I trained at hers and my home gym in Langley at the time 2-3 x per week while we regularly checked in on diet and nutrition progress ☮️ At first she needed regular “I’m gunna puke” breaks 🤣 and could barely do a push up or get through a full training session 💟 Did she give up you ask? HELLZ NO! This woman is one “HELLAVA TROOPER “ and kept going! ☪️ Fast forward to current time and we now meet 4 x per week via “Teams” and I train her on her lunch breaks! (I moved too far away for in person) ☮️ As I said, she never had to lose actual “weight”, her goal was mostly body composition with more strength but definitely not “bulk”! Proud to share her transformation pics and proud of her ongoing commitment to making time for herself and her mental and physical health! Her workout intensity has definitely progressively increased as they should over time and this is her “before and current” physique (last 2 pics) She still travels, has “fun meals” and lives her life but feels and looks strong and empowered!! #proudcoach❤️ 💪 Looking to make a change but feel stuck in a rut?

Recovering from an injury? Want to learn more about the process that should but often does not take place during post injury exercise ? Most people think that following an injury, you should simply rest and then return to strength training to rebuild muscle when you are feeling better. I am here to tell you that ITS NOT THAT SIMPLE🙅♀️ Common recovery MYTHS: 1. It takes 4-12 weeks to recover depending on your injury 2. You always need to rest for a specific amount of time before returning to exercise 3. You can return to exercise when you can perform the exercises TRUTH: 1. Recovery time depends on the mechanism of injury, the individuals ability to recover from a multitude of facets (physical, mental, emotional, physiological) and how quickly you are able to begin (and remain consistent with) REHAB without invoking additional pain to the body. 2. Depending on the nature of the injury, you don’t ALWAYS need to rest in the traditional sense. Sometimes an injury (soft tissue injuries specifically) can (and should) begin rehab the day after injury (under the guidance of a professional). 3. Just because you can perform a (insert exercise movement here) DOES NOT mean you should be doing that movement unless your body is ready to return to that exercise WITHOUT using a compensatory pattern. The principles of (Re)Training that I use in my practice to restore function following an injury: 1. Restore segmental stabilizer functions 2. Retrain global stabilizer control through the passive inner range of motion 3. Retrain global stabilizer control through entire range of motion 4. Restore muscle length ❗️ first and foremost, recovery is about TIME and CONSISTENCY. it is HARD work physically & mentally. If you have questions about a specific injury & how to best recover from it shoot me a DM I’d love to help you get back to doing the things you love to do pain free!💃 #nanaimomoms #nanaimobc #nanaimosmallbusiness #nanaimokinesiology #nanaimofitness #nanaimowomen #nanaimopersonaltraining #parksvillesmallbusiness #parksvillefitness #ladysmithmoms #ladysmithbc #ladysmithsmallbusiness #vancouverisland

Hey everyone 👋 if you find it difficult to find time to exercise, this one’s for you ⬇️ I’ve had some new faces on here lately, especially busy moms. So, I wanted to reiterate something that is very important to me and I hope you will find it helpful, too. Incase you didn’t know, the Canadian exercise guidelines recommends a total of 150 min/week of moderate to vigorous exercise for adults. So, for those of you who “don’t have the time” here’s what I have to say to you: 1. 20 minutes a day of exercise would meet the requirement 2. 45 mins 3x/week would also meet the requirement 3. This requirement can (and should) be met through a variety of exercise that you enjoy Creative ways of meeting the requirement include: -Going for a brisk walk w/ your dog -Parking at the back of the parking lot -taking the stairs -getting up from your desk every 30 minutes at a desk job Some reminders when you want an excuse: 1. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. It’s not about having the time, it’s about creating it. At the end of the day, if it matters to you you’ll do it, and if it doesn’t, you won’t 🤷♀️ #nanaimomoms #nanaimobc #nanaimosmallbusiness #nanaimokinesiology #nanaimofitness #nanaimopersonaltraining #parksvillesmallbusiness #parksvillefitness #ladysmithmoms #ladysmithbc #ladysmithsmallbusiness
Did you know: Kinesiology is defined as the study of human movement and physical activity and their impact on health, performance and quality of life. If you are suffering from an injury or chronic pain I can help you find relief so that you can get back to doing the things you love. Some of the most common injuries I see are: Rotator cuff injury Low back pain Neck pain Patellar tendinitis Meniscus tear Sciatica SI joint pain As kinesiologists, we can help you navigate pain management and recovery for arthritis, joint pain, muscle pain, chronic disease and injuries. This is what it looks like when you hire me to help you: 1. Initial visit - we dive into your health & injury history to gain a deep understanding on why/how the problem started and how we can manage/resolve it. I will put you through a movement screening to identify any muscular imbalances, areas of weakness or pain. I then take this information gathered l and create customized exercise prescription movements for you to do on your own. 2.Subsequent visits - here we sit down together and review your exercise prescription program together. I walk you through how to do each exercise and answer any questions you may have, or make any necessary changes if an exercise isn’t right for you. 3.Follow up visits - we go through the exercises that you have (hopefully) been doing at home as prescribed, and add progressions to increase your tolerance. 🔑 A few key things: 1. If you are in pain when you move you can a) stop moving or b)continue to be in pain or c) get help. Hint: the answer is C. 😉 2.I STRONGLY believe that exercise is medicine. If you are continuously visiting a practitioner and not getting results, you need to go somewhere else for help. This is why I LOVE what I do, because learning to get back to tasks of daily living and things we love to do, and doing so pain free is necessary for ….

Hey there, everyone! 🏋️♂️ It's been quite a journey, and I want to share a story of resilience with you. 💪 Four years ago, I faced a severe back herniation that left me with grim predictions from doctors and surgeons. They told me I'd never touch heavy squats or deadlifts again. 🚫 But here's the twist – I didn't let their doubts define me. 🔄 I embarked on a smart and science-backed training journey post-injury. Remember, many medical professionals aren't exercise specialists, so I turned to physiotherapists and chiropractors who truly understand the fitness world. 🩺📚 Fast forward to this past week, where I put my progress to the test. 🏋️♂️ Guess what? I nailed both the squat and deadlift, lifting a whopping 340 lbs in each (thanks to a 50 lbs plate on the deadlift). The best part? No pain during or after the lifts! 🙌 And here's the kicker – I've been shedding 15 lbs while doing this. Cutting weight and gaining strength? Now that's a combo that fires me up! 🔥 Big shoutout to Dr. Best at Woodgrove Pines Wellness Clinic and Lana Unger at Inner Harmony for being instrumental in my recovery and strength journey. 🙏 Check them out if you're on a similar path to greatness! 🌐 Woodgrove Pines Wellness Clinic: https://www.woodgrovepinesclinic.com/ 🌐 Inner Harmony: https://innerharmony.ca/ Remember, obstacles are just opportunities in disguise. Keep pushing, keep grinding, and you'll achieve more than you ever imagined.

One of my BIGGEST frustrations as someone in the health and fitness industry is how EXPENSIVE services are. Yes, most services like physio, chiro, RMT are covered by healthcare plans but even so, that usually only gets you a few sessions per year, and then what? 🤔 If you have been suffering with an injury that you can’t recover from, or are experiencing chronic pain that you can’t find a long term solution for, let’s find you some relief. Whether it’s neck pain, low back pain, knee, hip or ankle pain, or anything else, together we can find the root of the problem and make a plan to get you back to doing what you love whether that be keeping up with your toddler or crushing your fitness goals-or anything in between! Services can be in your home at your convenience, I know how hard it is to find childcare! #nanaimomoms #nanaimokinesiology #nanaimopersonaltrainer #nanaimosmallbusiness #nanaimofitness #parksvillemoms #parksvillesmallbusiness #ladysmithmoms #ladysmithsmallbusiness
