Personal Power Plate Trainer

2011-11-07T14:32:00.000-08:00

A little bio on me:

Jason has been actively involved in the fitness industry for over 20 years. Having qualified as a personal trainer in the UK in 1989, he enjoyed a successful career managing hotel leisure clubs, working for an oesteopath and working as a martial arts instructor before starting his own personal training business, JLS Pro-Fit.

Always looking for a new challenge, Jason was one of the first to hear about the Power Plate in 2006 so followed his curiosity and researched and tested the innovative technology to see what value it could bring to his clients. Realizing the Power Plate could make a significant difference to many peoples’ lives, Jason quickly gained his Power Plate Level 1&2 certificates. Before long, Jason was brought in to launch and manage five dedicated Power Plate centres in London, leading over 1000 sessions a week.

After moving to Vancouver in August 2010, Jason wished to pursue his passion for the Power Plate in another market. Recognizing the potential in this unrelativley untapped market, he contacted the only accredited retailer of Power Plate in Western Canada to see if he could join the team and really bring vibration technology to the masses.

Jason has worked with all ages and fitness levels using the Power Plate with some remarkable results. Recently, he has been working with people who have medical issues including multiple-sclerosis and spinal cord injuries – all of whom have attributed the Power Plate in part to aiding with their mobility.

Leaning on his passions for soccer and golf, Jason has enjoyed working alongside UK professional soccer players and European Tour golfers to help with their peak performance in the field.

Jason currently consults, trains and gives seminars to any interested Fitness Town customers.

Box Jumps - Squat Jumps on Power Plate

2011-10-26T14:26:00.000-07:00

Wow, I find it interesting doing Box Jumps. Getting ready to explode into a jump onto a higher level than the ground. My brain doesn't quite engage for a few seconds what I'm about to do.

To travel explosively, and jump up to a 20+inch box seems unnatural, but it's a great leg workout.

So, I've been doing mini squat jumps to a stabilizing position on the Power Plate. Pretty interesting I must say.

Why not give it a shot, or a jump!!!!

Pic 1. Start position on the ground

Pic 2. Finish Position stabilized squat on the Power Plate

Positivity & Attraction - The Secret of Life

2011-10-24T18:58:00.000-07:00

I've always had comments about my personality, being that I'm so positive, have great energy and just carry a friendly persona wherever I go.

I have to say, I've always surrounded myself with like minded people, who in turn are positive and have a passion for health & fitness.

It seems to be a lesson in life, that I am open minded, I love to learn new things, and will retain the valuable information for a lifetime.

My family, my friends,my colleagues and my clients have all shared in some way shape or form a small piece of my life story.

I have had many conversations, been given advice from my peers which I shall always keep.

So, on this note, I truly believe that the secret of life, is attraction!! I've always been attracted to people with high energy, positivity, sports, fitness and wellbeing.

If I come into your life and we have a bond, I think we'll be friends for life.

It's not a problem for me, that other people choose to have a different path in life, that's what makes us all different. But who I choose to spend time with, depends on those types of activities they choose or that I choose.

I would never speak negatively about what they do, or what they follow, or what they believe to be true. Everyone deserves their opinion, and I would never persuade them otherwise or speak badly about it.

So, I'm a high energy, positive, open minded guy, who has been shown certain ways, and chosen to follow the path to live my life how I see fit.

If I can show you a way to be happy, to love yourself, respect yourself & others, get fit, and lead a healthy lifestyle, then please ask me now!!

Trade Shows with Power Plate

2011-10-22T18:55:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since my last blog, and for that I apologise.

I've had a very busy few weeks with Power Plate demos at Vancouver Police Department, Seniors Confederation Centre in Burnaby, and many Trade Shows.

The Cory Holly Institute Fitness Seminar and The Home Show was a very busy weekend.

We have Trade Shows at The Health & Wellness Show and The Man Show coming up, so we'll have the brand new Power Plate MY7 on display for you to try.

I've also been training hard. Playing Squash, Street Hockey, Cycling and doing the Grouse Grind at Grouse Mountain.

All in all a very busy but very fun time.

New Body for me - Body By Vi

2011-09-19T13:16:00.000-07:00

Over the last few weeks, I've been asked my secret on keeping fit & looking good...so here is what I do.

Power Plate workouts, CrossFit workouts, Cycling, Swimming, Hiking up Grouse Mountain & Street Hockey. A lot of Travel Roller trigger point therapy.

For nutrition, I follow the Paleo Solution and take Vi-Salus supplement shakes.

If anyone you know needs help getting into better health, please give me a shout. We'll try and win together in this life, & I'm here as your accountability coach. Jason x

Fight Gone Bad - Cross Fit Workout

2011-09-18T14:26:00.000-07:00

Back in the workout routine after a few weeks vacation, although I did manage to fit in some training whilst away.

Fight Gone Bad was a rude awakening after a trip away for 2 weeks and here's why...

We had to do 3 rounds of 5 exercises which were 1 minute each. After 5 minutes hard work for round 1, you then rest for 1 minute.

So, all in all, it's a 17 minute workout which goes like this!!

Wall Balls - as many as possible in 1 minute
Sumo Dead Lift High Pulls - as many as possible in 1 minute
Box Jumps - as many as possible in 1 minute
75lbs Bar Bell Press - as many as possible in 1 minute
Row - as many calories burned in 1 minute.

With 1 minute rest in between the rounds I thought this looked tough, and damn, it was tough.

My total reps and calories score at the end was 240!!!

I'll try again in 6 weeks, and I'll be aiming for 250-300 score!!

Dedicated to Darren (my bro) & Poppy (my niece)The Vacation Ready - CrossFit Workout!!

2011-08-26T08:46:00.000-07:00

I leave today for my vacation to the UK. Visiting Swindon, Crudwell, Hankerton, Norwich & London.

With a TEN hour flight to look forward to, and the forward turning of the clock EIGHT hours, I focus on some movement for the long haul.

A quick workout in the gym as follows:

Row 400m
20 OverHead Press
20 Hand Release Push Ups
Row 300m
15 OverHead Press
15 Hand Release Push Ups
200m Row
10 OverHead Press
10 Hand Release Push Ups

TABATA Sit Ups.

A good workout to start the day and the journey.

And, also, here's my thinking. If I get up out of my seat every hour, I can do 50 squats and have a stretch. So maybe 10 rounds of that. Let's see......sleep well on the plane or workout!!!!???? What's your suggestion??

I have got myself stronger, fitter & quite possibly in the best shape of my life at the age of 38 Years!!!!! Honestly!!!! I feel amazing right now.

So with a strength component of 4 Rounds of 30 Seconds of Push Ups on the Power Plate, some movement prep, warm up and stretching, and travel roller, our workout of the day ( WOD )is:

PRIMA puts Power Plate on top for Osteoporosis Sufferers

2011-07-12T10:34:00.000-07:00

Did you also know that Power Plate could help fight the onset of osteoporosis?
Prima magazine tackles the topic this month, including research from which shows how Power Plate vibration training can increase bone mineral density.
Prima tried the Power Plate machine at our Selfridges studio, where they put our pro6 machine through its paces! They are now huge fans, and were also fascinated to hear about the many health benefits that Acceleration Training could offer, seeing it as a perfect fit for their planned osteoporosis special.
As the average age of the population increases, the incidence of osteoporosis is also rising. Each year millions of people suffer from fractures due to bone density loss.
Here are some stats for you:
- One in three women and one in eight men will suffer from osteoporosis this year.
- In the U.S., 80% of sufferers are women
- Of 2.8 million U.S sufferers, only 1 million have been diagnosed, while 1.8 million aren’t even aware that they are suffering from reduced bone mineral density (BMD).
And how can Power Plate help? A pilot study published in the Journal of Bone Mineral Research found that whole body vibration training using a Power Plate machine helped to increase bone mineral density in the hip, as well as increasing muscular strength and postural control in postmenopausal women*. Not only does this study show that this form of training could be used to help prevent bone mineral density loss (or even improve it), but improvements in muscular strength and postural control that were also identified indicate that it can help reduce the risk of falls (and therefore, the chance of a fracture). After all, as they say… prevention is better than cure!
* Verschueren.S., M. Roelants, C Delecluse, S.Swinnen, D. Vanderschueren and S.Boonen, “Effect of 6-month whole body vibration training on hip density, muscle strength and postural control in postmenopausal women”, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, (Vol. 19 (3), 2004

Power Plate in your Sports Facility

2011-07-08T10:43:00.000-07:00

Why would you put a Power Plate in your gym???

Well, that's what I asked myself back in 2005. And, it was'nt just 1 Power Plate, we had 4 Power Plates.

Within my first month at the Powertone Studio in Fulham, London, I had already built up to 100 sessions per week.

The secret was a 25 minute workout, 4 clients at a time with 1 Power Plate certified instructor leading the class.

Every 30 minutes there was a class scheduled and we started at 7am and finished at 8pm.

The class for a single session cost $32, and with other monthly membership options available, our average weekly income was $22.4 per session.

Within my first month I banked a total of $19,200 in sales. A fantastic way to start my new business.

Power Plate studios, and Power Plate classes within gyms are so popular in Europe. It's only a matter of time before they really start up in Vancouver and North America.

Why would you want to implement Power Plate to your gym??

Here's 1 reason for now:

Adding Value:
1. The Power Plate machine has a number of unique selling points which make it an attractive proposition for health clubs and gyms.
2. It can add value for your existing personal training clients.
3. Varied applications and appeal for wide range of users unlike many other forms of training or equipment on the workout floor, every single member of a club from the regular user, senior citizens, athletes and those exercising for rehabilitation can use the Power Plate machine.
4. The Power Plate machine is an inclusive fitness tool for all users. The pro5 and pro5 AIRdaptive™ models are the only vibration training devices accredited by the Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI), which signifies that people with disabilities can enjoy independent use.

Triathlon - Vancouver - July 3rd 2011

2011-07-06T10:18:00.000-07:00

My FIRST ever Triathlon is complete. I'm amazed at my official time of 1 Hour 42 Minutes.

The past 3-4 months have been worth it. The early morning bike rides, swims and gym sessions. Followed by afternoon workouts at Fitness Town Burnaby with my CrossFit professionals leading and helping me.

The 500m swim to start was a free for all, and I have to say there is no training you can do to replicate this. Everyone battling for their line, knocking in to your legs and arms, as you try and head in the right direction. My swim time was 11 minutes 45 seconds.

Heading into the transition area, I found myself walking at first, trying to get my wetsuit off, drying down quickly to get suited up for the 26.5km bike ride.

A steep climb up UBC hill, keeping hydrated all the way through, and keeping a good pace. My average speed was 28kph and I finished the bike in a time of 55 minutes 3 seconds.

I was ready at transition to run, so helmet off, and I try and get my legs moving. It was so difficult on the back of my legs, the saddle had really been pushing into me. I make sure that I just keep moving, and the 5km run took me 28 minutes 56 seconds.

Crossing the finish line was a very emotional moment. I felt total body exhaustion, the adrenaline still pumping, I felt GREAT!!!!

Now for the next challenge!!!!

Grouse Grind Hike - Power Plate to recover

2011-06-26T09:24:00.000-07:00

Wow, what a great way to start the weekend!! Grouse Grind at 8am with Dai, Cesar, Jimmy and Lenny.

Cesar set the pace from the beginning, and was soon out of sight. Dai, Jimmy, Lenny and I were comfortably together pacing ourselves.

Dai then makes an accelerated move, and Jimmy follows suit, leaving Lenny and I a few steps back. And these are big juicy steps too!!!

Cesar finishes first in 48 minutes, Dai & Jimmy on 50 minutes, I'm at 52 minutes and Lenny at 54 minutes.

So a great close group of us, all within 5 minutes of each other.

It's going to be a weekly Saturday 8am Grouse Grind, so if you're in Vancouver and you want to join us, whether it's your first time or not, we'll certainly have fun together getting fit & healthy.

And, if you're lucky to join us at the Burnaby Fitness Town store, you may be in for a treat on the Power Plate to stretch and massage those muscles!!!

Swimming Training at Stanley Park

2011-06-22T22:19:00.000-07:00

10 days to go, and we brave it outside in the sunshine to get our 500m swimming training.

A bike ride to Stanley Park 2nd Beach, and all seems to be going like clockwork.

2 lengths of the 50m laned off area of the pool, and I feel tired!!! Wow, my latts, my triceps, my breathing...... this is tough!!!

I just want to get 10 lengths finished and get out.

Once finished, and believe me, I was feeling tired, I suddenly remember there is still a bike ride back. That was the hard bit.

Anyway, I feel like I will push through this on race day, and I know I have the will power and the determination to succeed.

Triathlon & Power Plate Training

2011-06-21T21:32:00.001-07:00

So here we are, just 2 weeks away from the Vancouver Sprint Triathlon.

In the past few weeks, I've been cycling 30km once or twice a week, playing street hockey once a week, swimming once or twice a week.

A few CrossFit workouts which works hard on all aspects of fitness.

Power Plate to stretch and massage my muscles.

And, you have to applaud me, because all of this in between the biggest Ice Hockey Cup Finals in the World, The Stanley Cup!!! Although a shame the Vancouver Canucks lost!!!

So, now the summer is here, and outdoor ocean swimming training is next.

Tonight we had a good cycle around the Sea Wall. And now I'm going to look forward to a few Grouse Grind treks!!!!

Me & Power Plate on Vancouver TV

Urban Rush featured the Power Plate with me.

I hope you enjoy

Cycling, Swimming and Killer Whales!!!!

2011-05-16T08:23:00.000-07:00

My new training schedule is now in progress, putting in the miles for The Vancouver Sprint Triathlon in July.

Monday is a gym session followed by 30 minutes swimming.

After a 30km bike ride on Sunday, I wake up feeling slightly tired. 6.45am I recieve a text from my training buddy, saying he's bailing on me!!! Too easy for me to bail, but no.... I make it to the gym. A good warm up followed by a chest workout today. Then 7.30am the swimming training starts. 5 minutes in, and I really feel this is tough work. I mix up the swim with 4 lengths front crawl and 4 lengths breast stroke. Now I'm on a roll and the 30 minutes seem like a Killer Whale strolling through the Burrard Inlet.

The Canucks Rule - Ryan Kesler

2011-05-06T08:05:00.000-07:00

Wow, another great victory for The Canucks, and although I missed the game because of a golf match I was playing in, the highlights were amazing, and Ryan Kesler again the star man.

An early start this morning with me and my buddy Jeff, catching a weight training session.

We decided to work on Shoulders, Upper Back and Chest today.

A good warm up folowed by: A good Triple Drop Set Routine.

Light Weight - 20 Reps

Heavy Weight - 10 Reps

Medium Weight - 12 Reps

Light Weight - 15 Reps

We feel pumped now, and ready to pump our fists in the air when The Canucks win on Saturday, and Ryan Kesler scoring another couple of goals!!!!

Go Canucks Go!!!!

Rest, Recovery, Re-Energised - POWER BIKE

2011-05-04T11:06:00.000-07:00

After 2 weeks off training, it's now back to prepare for the Vancouver Triathlon in 8 weeks time. Sunday 3rd July is the race date.

Back in the saddle today at 7am for a 16km ride around Stanley Park.

It felt tough going today, but still managed it in 47 minutes.

Now for a good stretch on the Power Plate.

A new piece of equipment is due out on the fitness market now, it's Power Plate's new product POWER BIKE.

Once I've been on it, I'll let you know how it is.

Vancouver Sun Run - 10km

2011-04-17T12:40:00.000-07:00

Well, what a great 10k race!!! Amazing atmosphere with a few local friends........ well, 50,000 Vancouverites!!!

After a rest day on Saturday, with a bit of travel roller to loosen my muscles, I woke up today intent of finishing under an hour.

A little bit of dodging and weaving at the start, the first 2k seemed to go slow, but I hit the half way mark at 28 minutes. Navigating yourself in the busy crowds, I think puts an extra 2k on the distance!!!!!

So, a strong finish, and I ended up recording 58 minutes 18 seconds for my time.

A cold bath, and a nice healthy brunch to enjoy!!!!!

Power Plate Warm Up

2011-04-07T16:31:00.000-07:00

Today I needed a good stretch!!!! It's good to keep flexible, making sure your muscles are working efficiently and hoping to keep you injury free.

Here are a few warm up stretches I did today.

1 Minute - 30Mhz - LOW

1. Glute Bridge

2. Chest Stretch

3. Thigh/Hip Flexor Stretch

4. Hamstring Stretch

5. Latt/Upper back Stretch

Fitness for Golf

2011-04-06T11:06:00.000-07:00

Get ready for your next round of golf by warming up on the Power Plate.

Imagine, every Golf course you play at has a Power Plate that you can use for 5 minutes to warm up and simulate your golf swing drills.

Well, I think that would be of great benefit to all golfers around the world.

I've searched for a few exercises that would be great to do on the Power Plate before you get to the First Tee!!!

Golf Fever!!! It's The Masters at Augusta!!

2011-04-04T20:11:00.000-07:00

This week sees The Masters at Augusta. One of the greatest golf tournaments in the world, with the famous Amen Corner.

Who will take the Green Jacket this year????

Well, on recent form, Phil Mickelson is high favourite coming in off a win last weekend at the Shell Open in Houston.

Then there's Lee Westwood, my fellow Brit and fan of Power Plate (pictured).

However, my pick of the bunch is another Brit, Luke Donald. He has impressed me over the last few months, and I feel this could be his year.

If my Swindon pal David Howell was playing, of course I would root for him.

So, here's to the Europeans taking the Leaderboard at The Masters this weekend. It's going to be an exciting one to watch.

Street Hockey in Vancouver

2011-04-03T13:03:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday I played in my first ever Street Hockey match. It was awesome!!!!

Such a different body workout, and using some different muscles in different ways. My glutes were killing me afterwards!!!

Luckily for me, I have played many different sports, and have a natural hand,eye, ball co-ordination. So, although I may have been running around in circles at times, I was able to get the ball on target, and pass directly to my team mates pretty well. And....... I did score my first ever Street Hockey goal!!!!! I was impressed with myself.

So a week later, I take to the Street Hockey court again in our Downtown Vancouver, David Lam Park. Some new faces to me, but most of the same guys from last week. A good friendly bunch of guys.

And after todays performance, scoring twice I hasten to add, I feel I have improved somewhat. Watch out Hockey pro's!!!! Only Joking!!!!

Again, my body feels the workout. I managed an hour today, and I wore my Suunto watch & heart monitor. My results astounded me. My heart rate peaked to 183 beats per minute. I burnt 750 calories. A great workout!!!

Vancouver Canucks - Presidents Trophy Winners Workout

2011-04-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

I was asked a question at the weekend...."If there was one machine I need in my house to get an overall workout, what should I buy??" And you guessed right, I said the Power Plate is the best product in the Fitness market today, that can give you an all over body result. So, to invest in your health, your wellbeing, and to help you age better, why not buy a Power Plate!!!?? It seems so obvious to me now, as I'm getting older, I find it hard to recover quickly from a bout of activity. My muscles can sometimes feel sore, achy and tired. A little vibration suddenly makes me feel 10 years younger. My blood circulation has increased, my muscles have been alleviated of some pain and soreness. When I've re-energised, I can start to apply myself to work on my deep squats, push ups, plank, and other strength exercises. After a good 20 minutes workout, I can immediately cool down, have an amazing flexibility session and a great massage. 30 minutes have passed, and I have finished my whole body workout. My heart rate had increased at times to 164bpm. My muscles had felt the tension. I've had the best stretch and relaxation to finish. I remember 15-20 years ago, I would be in the gym, training hard for up to 2 hours. Then I might have a cheeky massage to relax. My time spent on my image was taking up so many hours in my week, that when I heard that the Power Plate can do all of this in 30 minutes, I was hooked on it. Now, I'm using the Power Plate on a regular basis. I'm investing in my health right NOW, however I also realise the potential that it's the future benefits of the Power Plate that are going to help me. It also assists with my bone growth, it alleviates the pain in my body that I fore mentioned. Why would I want to train my body to the point, that I feel too much pain and soreness that isn't comfortable to me??? The Power Plate makes me feel a MILLION Dollars..... FACT!!!! And, no matter what anyone says, we're not getting any younger, although, the way the Power Plate makes me feel, I may have to differ!!!!!!

The Sandy Martin Workout

2011-03-22T10:30:00.000-07:00

Today was a workout with a new challenge, so that's why I've dedicated it to my late great friend Sandy Martin.

Sandy was a huge inspiration to me, a great guy who lived life with passion.

Now, many of his traits were definitely required for a workout which included a new exercise for me.

In life, work, or our training we need to pull together positively. So here they are:

1. Energy

2. Positivity

3. Determination

4. Perseverance

5. A BIG smile

So, after a good warmup on the Power Plate, my session begins with:

3 Rounds for Time

1 Minute Power Plate Squats

10 Hanging Toes to Bar

The Toes to Bar was new to me, and in the first round I completed 6 reps in a row, and then it got harder. I was only able to do 2 in a row. Then in the last set, I could only manage 1 at a time. I could see the end was in sight, and I had to complete the 3 rounds. As the clock was ticking away, I pulled strong and finished in a time of 10 minutes 39 seconds. It was tough, and I had to smile at the end!!!!!

What I'm learning every day, year on year, is that whatever challenges we have in front of us, we're all using the same techniques, the same tools to help us pull through. There will be certain triggers that make you rise or fall, and if you do fall, there will be something that makes you rise again!!!

No matter what, as long as you have the strength, the right positive attitude, and the determination, you will succeed!!!

Power Plate makes Ski-ing much easier

2011-03-21T08:26:00.000-07:00

I had a good day ski-ing at Grouse Mountain on Sunday. A good solid 4 hours of ski-ing on the Intermediate and the Black runs.

My legs felt amazing, the ski-ing seemed effortless.

After a few weeks of Power Plate squat workouts, my legs are ready.

I remember ski-ing down mountains and really feeling the burn after just a few minutes. Not any more!!

If you're looking at a way to build strength and stamina for your ski trip, you need to do some Power Plate workouts.

The feeling the Power Plate gives you, is very similar to that on the slopes, the vibrations, the bumps, and the unstability really gets you prepared to ski.

My balance is better, and my control and movement was improved.

So, I'm going again next weekend, anyone fancy a ski trip????

Workout was an AMRAP

2011-03-16T17:06:00.000-07:00

Today was a tough workout for upper body strength:

A good warmup on the Power Plate, followed by 5 X 1 Minute Power Plate Squats and then the serious work began.

5 Reps Latt Pull Down

5 Reps Dumbell Shoulder Press

Do as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes. Seems easy!!???

I managed 17 rounds, and I'm certainly struggling to type this now!!! ha

So, after a nice cool down on the Power Plate, I check my Suunto watch for my stats:

Average heart rate = 135bpm
Peak heart rate = 160bpm

I feel like I need a nice jacuzzi, steam and sauna now!!!!

Power Plate Lunges

2011-03-14T19:30:00.000-07:00

Today was a leg strength workout day.

After a good hour running on Saturday and a good leg sports massage on Sunday, I was ready to go again.

After a good warm up on the Power Plate, stretching, mobilisation and massage it was time to start.

3 Rounds of:

25lbs Barbell Over head Press Lunges for 45 seconds right leg on the Power Plate.

25lbs Barbell Over head Press Lunges for 45 seconds left leg on the Power Plate.

Tough to stabilise, my heart rate also peaked to 144 beats per minute.

Try this for a good leg workout!!!!

5 Minute Power Plate Workout

2011-03-11T16:39:00.000-08:00

A great way to train sometimes is to give yourself 5 minutes of high intense workout, just like this:

1. Deep Wide Squat

2. Single Leg Lunge Right Leg

3. Single Leg Lunge Left Leg

4. Push ups

5. Half Squat with Bicep Curl using Straps

6. Glute Bridge

7. Tricep Dips

8. V Sit Crunch

9. Front Plank

10. Front Shoulder Raise using Straps

Monday Bike Ride - Stanley Park

2011-03-07T08:33:00.001-08:00

Up early for a Monday morning Bike Ride around Stanley Park.

I had to go for it this morning, pushing hard on the pedals to beat my previous time of 55 minutes.

I felt good, and completed 16km in 43 minutes 11 seconds.

Feeling great to start the week.

Power Plate Kettlebells & Burpees

2011-03-02T18:05:00.000-08:00

Todays workout was a race against the clock.

10 KettleBell Swings followed by 1 Burpee

9 KettleBell Swings followed by 2 Burpees, and so on until 1 KettleBell Swing and 10 Burpees.

A tough workout considering at the start, I thought it would be easy!!!! Don't let this fool you!!!

My time was 8 minutes and 31 seconds. And it really hit me hard at the end.

A cool down on the Power Plate, stretching and some Single leg Squats, just to feel the burn.

LOVE IT!!!!!!

10 Knees to Elbows - Hanging from bar.

30 seconds Bicep Curl
30 seconds Tricep Dips

2 rounds, and Arlen wanted to stop.

A good 2 minute workout!!!! How do those arms feel Arlen??????

DR Mercola & Power Plate

2011-02-20T18:58:00.001-08:00

So, the word is out!!!! Dr Mercola has been using his profound expertise within our health & fitness industry and is thoroughly recommending the Power Plate as the perfect fitness vibration platform to use.
His website www.mercola.com has extensive information on Power Plate and Dr Mercola also interviews here http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2011/02/16/power-plate-the-most-exciting-fitness-breakthrough-in-decades.aspx
Take a look at his interview.
At The Wellness Show in Vancouver Convention Show this weekend, so many visitors were coming to see me for a demo on the Power Plate PRO6 model, and a lot had seen the Dr Mercola interviews.
It's very powerful when someone in the USA has a lot of followers, and a certain product he talks about, all of a sudden there is a lot of interest.
It looks like I'll now have to try and give Dr Mercola a workout on a Power Plate!!!

Vancouver Canucks

2011-02-15T19:12:00.001-08:00

Looks like I may need to get the Ice Hockey team here in Vancouver on the Power Plate!!!

So many other professional sports athletes are using the Power Plate now.

I'll keep you updated if I get the Canucks on board.

Box Jumps Workout

2011-02-09T17:02:00.000-08:00

Power Plate Pro6 @ Richmond Olympic Oval and 6k Run

2011-02-07T20:11:00.000-08:00

After an afternoon at the Olympic Oval in Richmond working with the staff on the Power Plate PRO6, I head into my routine of Travel Roller warm up and mobility.
I plan out my route for a nice sea wall run along English Bay, in West End Vancouver. A steady 6km run to Stanley Park and back. I aim for 45 minutes.
My legs are feeling good and I'm 25 minutes into the run, I reach Stanley Park, and try to get head strong and push a little harder back. My legs are now feeling very heavy and I glance at the watch to see I have completed 38 minutes. I need to keep going, and I set my mind not to stop.
As long as I keep running, I'll get my time of 45 minutes.
The run is complete, I stop my watch at 43 minutes 19 seconds.
A good stretch for 15 minutes, cool down, travel rolling, and all whilst watching the Canucks!!!

Power Plate & Osteoporosis

2010-12-13T16:11:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago Power Plate attended the National Osteoporosis Conference in Liverpool in a bid to reach out to a whole new target audience. Since Power Plate was awarded MDD (Medical Device Directive) Certification they are now able to proudly say that Power Plate machines can help with health related issues such as osteoporosis.

It was a great opportunity for them to meet with specialised practitioners such as physiotherapists and surgeons who are experts in the field of osteoporosis.

During the conference Power Plate were mentioned in one of the workshops held by Rachel Lewis, an Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Practitioner, who believes that vibration training can help to increase bone density.

Lars Harms, head of training and education at Power Plate International said “being at the NOS conference opened a lot of avenues for us. Power Plate machines have always been on the radar but with MDD certification, vibration training can now be taken seriously.”

As a result of attending the NOS conference, Dr. Palferman, a consultant rheumatologist from the London Medical Clinic is going to be conducting a research study on the Effects on Rehabilitation with Patients Using Vibration Training

PT in the Park on a Glorious Day

2010-05-17T11:15:00.000-07:00

Summer is here, and what better way to spend your early morning or evening in the Park.

Outdoors, in the fresh air. Stretching, exercising with the weights resistant bands or boxing with me with my boxing pads.

Everyone seems to be out getting fit in the nice summer weather we're having right now.

For a session in the Park, give me a call now.

Fit Flop is here!!! Summer is coming!!

2010-03-10T12:36:00.000-08:00

Have you heard of Fit Flop?? Take a look at http://www.fitflop.com/ now!!!

What an amazing invention.

A very well built flip flop, or sandal or shoe or boot. Whatever you need in footwear, this Fit Flop footwear product is sensational!!

A very smart design, but for very important reasons.

We spend hours on our feet, sometimes wearing the most ridiculous footwear which is'nt practical or at all comfortable. Fit Flop is different. It uses a specially built insole which gives you maximum protection, but also anatomically allows you to walk and workout at the same time.

They've been biomechanically designed to help you improve your posture and increase muscle activity every time you take a single step.

If you want to ask me about them, or where you can purchase them from, then please feel free to contact me ASAP.

These are a must for EVERYBODY!!!

Client Feedback

2009-09-08T07:26:00.000-07:00

I took advantage of a free Power Plate trial at the end of May. I chose the Fulham branch because of previous glowing reviews on Wahanda even though it wasn't my nearest branch. It was definitely the right decision! I had to change the time of my session twice at the last minute and Jason (manager) couldn't have been more accommodating! Unlike the session I had attended at 'Movers&Shapers' where I barely got to try the plate so busy were they trying to pressure me into signing up for courses, and certainly didn't get to experience a real PowerPlate session, at Fulham Jason went through the basics and I then did a normal session with another regular client- Jason said as it was my first time he'd keep things lower, I protested that I don't know the meaning of the phrase 'low impact' so in the end I had a really good workout! When we had finished our session, the regular client left and Jason said that as they only had one person booked in for the next session (they have 4 PowerPlates in total so that is the maximum you would have in the class), if I was up to it, I could stay for that one too this time with Heidi! YESSSS- that's like holding a red rag to a bull! I have to say I was tired towards the end of the second session and was warned I might be a bit sore the next day, but I'm happy to report I felt absolutely fine. As well as the usual press-ups, sit-ups etc on the Plate, we also did moves using medicine balls, and worked our biceps, triceps and deltoids using the strap attached to the plate. It was obvious that Jason knew his stuff and whilst I was doing the PowerPlate, another client was having a Personal Training session with an instructor who, judging by the size of his arms, took weightlifting very seriously! The studio also had a small amount of other equipment: weights/ dumbells, rowing machine etc. The difference with Fulham Powertone Studios is that the people working there are professional sports instructors unlike many places which are glorified beauty salons. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable, there were alot of laughs and the staff were motivating without being patronising. When I made mistakes there was no criticism, just giggles (from me!) and gentle correction. That also inspired confidence in the trainers- they were very conscientious, checking that our bodies were in correct positions etc. There was no hard sell or pressure to sign up for courses, in fact it was me who asked for a pricing schedule at the end as I was leaving! The prices seem reasonable and there are discounts for block bookings and off-peak. Although I'm not in a position to attend right now, if and when I decide to incorporate PowerPlate into my exercise regime, I will definitely be heading down to Fulham.
THANKS JASON!

Celebrity Vibration with Powerplate

I love my new Power Plate. Even after only 2 weeks on Power Plate I can already see a difference in my legs and stomach. It is really working, everything seems so much firmer. I love the fact that I can see results in such as short time with such little effort!
Elle MacPherson

My friends raved to me about the Power Plate, and now I know why. It is a great invention and a convenient, time-efficient, work out!
Kylie Minogue

I love using Power Plate as part of my fitness regime as I can do a really intensive work out in such a short space of time. As a working mother with a hectic work schedule using Power Plate helps me stay in shape without having to spend hours in the gym.

Looks like a whole new breed of clients to train now.
Heres looking at training some boy/girl bands and singers. It might even improve my singing, or as some may say... squealing.

This will make sure that they are qualified and insured.
So check out REPS or NRPT to see if your trainer is reputable.

HOLIDAY Time

2008-07-09T04:49:00.001-07:00

It's that time of the year when we're all looking at the beach holidays to relax and recharge.
It's still a good time to do some light exercise when you're on vacation.
Some walking and swimming will keep you active and limbered up.
I'm off to Cyprus today, and will take my exertube band with me to keep my muscles flexed and stretched. Especially after a few hours R&R by the pool side.
So, holidays are for relaxing, however your body still loves motion, so do move about from time to time, even if it's to raise your glass of beer, wine, sangria or water.
have fun over the holiday season.
See you when I'm back. ( Wednesday 16th July )

Keep Fit & Healthy

2007-11-11T10:26:00.000-08:00

Keeping fit and healthy, and stress free after a week in the office.

It is apparent, more and more of us are spending too many hours in front of the PC at home and at work.

Posture related illnesses are increasing. Lower back aches and pains are rife.

Get an assessment from your local trainer/osteopath/chiropractor and have a monthly check up with them.

Flexibility in your legs, lower back, abdominals and glutes will help you tremendously.
