Saghi: My First Training Diary / Intro
My name is Saghi. Over the next six months I will be working with Jess to get in shape in time for my wedding! June is fast approaching and these love handles are not going to burn themselves off. So it’s time for some serious action… A little about me: For the past year I have not been feeling confident about my body. My clothes don’t fit the way they used to, I haven’t been making healthy choices even when I thought I was eating healthier, I really wasn’t. I tried counting calories, signed up at the gym (but never went) and tried the no carb diet, but nothing worked. I was lacking in motivation, energy and confidence. After months of...

Bet you’ve never done a hopping plank before! Tried this out in the gym today, and it was an awesome full body and mostly CORE workout! Try it out yourself, but make sure you don’t have any lower back issues before you attempt it.

Welcome to post number 200. It is time to begin a new series of posts. Let me explain what Take It Off really means. Sure, it can mean taking off pounds, taking off cellulite, taking off that layer of extra fat that is keeping you from making the MOST out of your life. But it also means taking off your clothes! We all know how it is – our partners tell us we look great. Our mothers / fathers / sibling tell us we don’t need to lose a pound. And that’s fine – great! But if you aren’t feeling 100% body confident, by yourself, that is where you are wasting time in life. You shouldn’t have to sit a certain way to hide things, or dress a...
Read MoreMusic Mondays #30
Our last one of the series! Of course, I can’t hold back from sharing my favourite go-tos for hitting a workout, so this is not the end of my workout mixes. But it is time to move on to a new series, because tomorrow I reach 200 POSTS! Now, you have 30 great workout mixes to download for free, and pop in your iPod and run out the door (or, blast in house and move your butt)! To find them all, head over to the Workout Music Page. This list will still continue to grow regularly, just not necessarily on Mondays. I’ve been listening to a lot of A-Trak and Fool’s Gold Radio mixes since the weather started to warm-up. It’s always pretty dance-y, which...
