A sustained effort that an individual can maintain for up to 30 minutes. Strength – Adding a load to a movement and moving that load for a number of repetitions. HIIT – Maximum effort for short periods of time ranging on average from 10-60 seconds.

How to stay consistent with fitness. The New Year brings a fresh start and a good feeling that you can achieve your new goals and get ripped or at least lose some weight and get in shape. This good feeling is great but how do you turn that feeling into reality and achieve those lofty goals you set for yourself? The key to fitness, no matter the goal, is to stay consistent. The dirty secret to every successful athlete, fitness model, body builder and your super fit neighbor is consistency. Doing the exercise day in and day out with the results to follow. This is actually very easy but the end goal might seem to lofty or unattainable and the truth is it might take years for you to reach your goals and this can be very discouraging. Rather than set your sights on the end goal focus on what you can do right now in this moment that will lead you to that goal. Here are some ideas and exercises that you can think about and use if your goals include: weight loss, better mobility, reducing pain, feeling better, more energy, better mood, better sex life(ooh you’re naughty) and a healthy body. “Success is many good decisions made over a period of time.” This is something I say to my clients, family and friends all the time. Someone doesn’t just wake up good at accounting or pole vaulting. They stay consistent with it and work on it every day. With this idea in mind approach this year’s fitness goals knowing that there will be ups and downs but stay consistent and make good decisions and success will follow. Here are some tips for how to stay consistent with fitness: Get a gym membership – This will be your main workout area and having the membership will be a constant reminder that you need to take care of yourself and hit the weights. Remember that not every workout has to be super long or super hard. We believe at Under Ten Fitness that just a few minutes of exercise goes a long way and having a gym membership gives you a dedicated place to exercise and a way to get out of the house and away from the distractions. Find a place to exercise at home – Going to the gym will not always be an option and in some cases, might be impossible, so having a few items at home and a place where you can get in a quick workout will come in very handy. You don’t need a lot of space or equipment but go around your house and see where you can do some exercises. I personally have many spots around the house like the guest bedroom has a pull-up bar in the doorway. The laundry room has a kettle bell where I can hit a few reps in between folding some clothes or going in and out of the garage. I also have a free wall where I can practice my handstands. Get creative – Not every workout has to be a regiment of squats, lunges and burpees. Find ways to just do a few minutes of exercise throughout the day. Here are a few examples of how I incorporate exercise without going to the gym: I do body weight squats in the morning while I am waiting for my coffee to brew. Body weight squats open up my hips after I’ve been sleeping all night and make me feel great! Do some yoga poses while watching TV. Inevitably I end up watching TV more than I think I should so I take advantage of the time and do quick exercises while I am watching and this ranges from push-ups to squats to kettle bell swings. I like to do a lot of corrective type exercises here and work on my mobility. Find ways to get in a few reps at work or around the house. Rather than walk up the stairs try crawling up them or do frog hops around the house rather than walk (Bear Crawls are a great way to get around). It might not be practical for you crawl around the office like a “bear” but think about how you can move differently to get in a little extra movement. Find hobbies or activities that get you moving – Many hobbies can get you out of the house and raise your heartrate. Here are a few activities and hobbies that can help: Hiking, walking, running and exploring. Have some fun with the kids and family and go on adventures to local parks, bluffs and local attractions. Become a tourist in your own city and get out of the house. A boutique style fitness studio. There are many different fitness classes you can sign up for like; yoga, cycling, kick boxing and trampoline parks. Find activities that make you move. Gardening can get you outdoors for at least the spring and summer months and will require you to work hard to prepare the soil and harvest your fresh foods. Sports – You can join a club sport of your choice to keep you active and have fun. Have a backup fitness routine – When life gets busy its hard to think about working out and sometimes just deciding what to do at the gym or home can be a challenge. Have a “go-to” workout plan that you can mindlessly run through when times are busy. This doesn’t have to be anything special but a simple program that will keep you in the groove and help you maintain your mobility and strength. Find a plan that hits a variety of movements and muscles. Remember that if you stay consistent with fitness the results will follow and you will benefit in many different ways. Its easy to get bogged down thinking that exercise has to result in weight loss or a six pack but being able to enjoy your life with a healthy body that moves well and doesn’t hurt is also very important. If you have any tips of your own on how to stay consistent with fitness we would love to hear them!

Minimum Effective Load – This is the point where you will get the most benefit from your training without over training or under training. This is a term that describes at which point you are getting the maximum performance and results from your training. I like to describe this as the “sweet spot” right in between not training enough and training too hard. You can think of it as a bell curve (pictured below). At the bottom of the curve is where you would have found me a few years ago when I wasn’t working out at all. There is no effort or activity and the results are non-existent. Going up a little on the curve you’ll see that the activity goes up and so do the results, but there is still room for improvement. At the peak of the curve is the “sweet spot” I spoke about! This is where you are putting in the perfect amount of effort and load to achieve the maximum return in results. If you can achieve this balance you are in a good spot and you are most likely a trained athlete, have a really good trainer or you are a magician… This “Sweet Spot” is where most athletes and pros work with their training and that’s why they are so good at what they do, of course they have many years of practice and skill but most of us aren’t professional athletes but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t train like them.     So let’s look at the other side of the curve, as you see, there is a decline in the slope and what happens here is called diminishing returns. There is a point at which your training goes too far and there are no more results or performance to be obtained. What happens is you over work your body to a point at which you break down. The goal with achieving the minimal effective load is finding that “Sweet Spot.” The “Sweet Spot” will be different for every person depending on your current fitness level but here are a few tips and how I am finding my “sweet spot,” that sounds dirty but I swear it’s not. 1st – No Pain No Gain – This is the oldest tip I remember hearing about and being told that if I want results I have to feel the burn! When training the more advanced you get the more you realize that training doesn’t always have to be grueling to have the desired outcome. Pain is actually not a good way to judge result and performance and I have actually achieved better results with less work and less “burn.” So when I am hitting the gym and getting in my reps I focus on controlled movements and when I feel the “burn,” I only do a few more reps keeping strict to my form, when my form starts to decline I call it quits for that set. I haven’t been super sore in a very long time and again, I’m getting great results. If you’re super sore the next day, you know the sore where you walk funny and avoid stairs a all costs even if it means sleeping on the couch, that is a sign you are over training and are on the wrong side of the curve. This doesn’t mean you don’t have to work hard but when you start to fatigue and your form starts to suffer you’re probably done. 2nd – Performance – I judge this by a combination of how hard it feels and how easy the weight moves. Somedays the weights feel heavier than others and that goes back to other factors like rest, recovery and nutrition and since all of these things change constantly, so do my expectations for the gym. I don’t always shoot for lifting the same weight for the same amount of reps but I shoot for the same feeling or sensation. I always have a goal of the amount of reps I’d like to do but if it gets to challenging or my form starts to fail I call it quits and move on to the next exercise or take a break. So, the question I ask while I’m training is; “How easy are the weights to move and how do I feel doing it?” If the weights are moving easily and I feel great! Then I keep going until my form starts to fail, I hit the desired number of reps or I feel fatigued. This is something that takes practice and self-awareness but you can start by using a scale from 1-10, 1 being very easy and light. To 10 being the hardest thing you’ve ever done. 3rd – Fatigue – This is a great way to judge when I’m done and need to quit. I used to quit when I finished all of my reps but I realized that the reps where just an arbitrary number I came up with and don’t really have a rhyme or reason. Instead of counting reps and trying to win the rep war I take note on how fatigued I feel and If I think I can do another rep with good form I keep going, but when I start to lose my good form I quit and take a break. This is something that I have been trying recently and I have found that it really works for me and I feel more motivated to work out because my body is recovering faster and I’m not always in recovery mode. I will continue to monitor my progress and hopefully give you an update in the future! Now this hasn’t just worked for me! This has worked for a friend and official dietician of Under Ten Fitness, Suzanne Himka. Now Suzanne, as you know, is very athletic and tends to overdo it! If you don’t know, I’ll just say she loves to work out and the word intervention comes to mind. She has seen some amazing results from Minimal Effective Load training and put those results to work during her most recent race in Canada for an Obstacle Course Race. She did very well and was surprised that she trained less than she did in the past and did better because of it. Suzanne’s daughter, Miriah, also competes in obstacle course racing and though she is only 17 she is proving to be very competitive and has won races in her age division using the minimal effective load training method. I personally believe Miriah has a great advantage in learning about this at a young age, along with having the drive to compete, that if she continues she will probably do very well for a long-time injury free. Because in the end all that matters is that you can do the sports and activities you love and do them pain free. I would like to thank Dr. Grove Higgins, Suzanne Himka and her daughter Miriah for joining the show to share their stories and give some great tips. Please listen to the podcast if you would like to know more about Minimal Effective Load plus more great tips! We even talk a little bit about diet and lifestyle tips to maximize your efforts in the gym.

Addiction affects millions of people and has the power to destroy lives and relationships. Anyone suffering from an addiction knows just how hard it is to quit and needs a place where they can feel comfortable talking about what they’re going through with people who have gone through similar experiences. I have no formal education on the subject and I do not consider myself an expert on addiction but I have struggled with alcohol so I will speak from my experience. Should you need help I would recommend seeking professional counseling or advice. When I was in the middle of my addiction I didn’t have any hope that I would ever get out. I was so caught up in the moment and seeing a future for myself was impossible. Many nights were a blur as I would drink until I blacked out and that cycle went on for a long time. My decisions finally caught up to me and I got in big trouble for my drinking, if you would like the specifics I detail them in the podcast. Through family support, a lot of counselling and learning I have returned to a sober life that is full of promise and hope. Along the way there were so many different life lessons but I have narrowed it down to 3 things that have been paramount in my recovery. Support - Having the support of my friends and family shows me that there are other people that care about my decisions and my quality of life. If there are people out there that care about me and my life, then why shouldn’t I? Purpose – Having a reason to wake up each morning and be productive helped me to focus on the future and know that there are certain things I need to achieve in order to maintain my purpose. For me that purpose was my small business. When I became the owner of something it forced me to make better choices so I could be successful. Control - Having control of my choices and surroundings were very important to me. I actually learned this lesson in the gym. When I started working out I realized I could control the way my body looked. If I showed up to the gym on a regular basis and put in the work, I started to change. I took what I was learning how to with my body in the gym and applied it to my everyday life. I have physical control of my actions and with that I can choose to stay home instead of go out to the bar or liquor store. I didn’t know it at the time but looking back I believe these three things we paramount in my recovery and I think the 3rd one was most important. When I saw how much I could change my body it gave me a feeling of control, my good choices equaled a better life and the physical reaction that happens when I exercised felt really good! This feeling replaced what was missing from my days of drinking and I have been sober for over 3 years now!   On this episode of Under Ten Fitness we talk to Phoenix Multisport which is an organization that exists to offer those who are struggling with addiction a safe place to participate in physical activities. The following is their mission statement: “Phoenix Multisport fosters a supportive, physically active community for individuals who are recovering from a substance use disorder and those who choose to live sober. Through pursuits such as climbing, hiking, running, strength training, yoga, road/mountain biking, socials and other activities, we seek to help our members develop and maintain the emotional strength they need to stay sober.” I want to thank Todd, Kaley and Jeff for coming on the show and sharing their amazing stories of recovery that offer hope. Hope that no matter what you’re going through you can change and you can get your life back. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, or has in the past, Phoenix Multisport is always accepting new participants and you can find more information here: Phoenix Multisport Website Phoenix Multisport Instagram Phoenix Multisport Facebook
