Fitgirl: My name is Chantel. I am a Fitness Director at a YMCA. In university I took Kinesiology. I love fitness! I am a certified YMCA fitness instructor since 1997. I instruct everything from cycling to yoga, to step aerobics.
I wanted to start this blog because I love trying new fitness trends, dvd's, and equipment. I have a job and a lifestyle that allows me to have time to try all sorts of new trends, and I know that not everyone has that time. Let me try out the trend for you!
Future blogs will include some of my favourites: Insanity DVD's, TRX suspension Training, Kettlebells, and Hot yoga. And others are: P90X DVD's, Turbo Fire DVD's, Wii Fit/Active, running, group cycling, muscle conditioning, metabolic conditioning, intervals, etc. I just bought a couple of Biggest Loser DVD's as well.
Fathead: My name is John. I would say that fitness has been an occasional "hobby" in my life. My athletic background includes being the captain of my Grade 8 basketball team (at a towering height of 5'9") and losing a game 110-6 to rival team, dropping out of high school gym in Grade 9, and having the honoured distinction of being a member of the only Huntsville High School soccer team to not win a game all season (we did manage to squeak out a 1-1 to a private school). It is only recently that I began getting serious about my overall health.
My goal, other than appeasing my lovely girlfriend, is to provide a layman's perspective on this unusual world of exercise. As I look at the mountain of workout routines, strange fitness equipment (like the seatbelt meets Inquisition torture device known as the TRX) and claims of "super ripped abs in only 3 weeks!!!" I mostly find myself scratching my head. What works and what doesn't? What's a waste of money and what isn't?
We are definitely at the far ends of the fitness spectrum but I think our experiences will help guide people to finding the right fitness regime for the right person.
