We’ve used this photo before but it goes so well with UBC’er Dana Ramoni’s testimony: “It (UBC) definitely does work, I did the holiday 6 weeks and lost 18lbs. Now I’m almost finished with the 10 weeks and should be down 20lbs or more by final evaluation. The big problem I see with people is not following the nutritional plan. They think they can exercise away poor eating habits.”

never give up

March 9th, 2012

It takes courage to make a change to your life. It takes effort and planning and a lot of willpower, but it’s worth it for so many reasons. You need to be fit to enjoy your life and to handle whatever may be thrown at you both now, and in the future. The beauty of UBC is you aren’t doing it alone. You have a team to train with, coaches you are accountable to, classes that engage the mind so you forget to look at the clock. Find something you love and commit to it

In honor of Dr. Seuss week: Here’s Zig Ziglar sounding a lot like Dr. Seuss – good stuff! “You are what you are and where you are because of what’s gone into your mind. But you can change what you are and where you are by changing what goes into your mind” —from Zig Ziglar’s new book, “Born to Win”

UBC never too late

March 1st, 2012

January 1st is not the only time to set fitness goals. It’s March 1st and time to either set new goals to take you to the next level or renew your commitment to your past goals. It’s never too late. So many people fall off the wagon and think they might as well quit since they screwed up yet again. Not true! Get back up and keep moving forward. The quicker you recover, the sooner you’ll make those resolutions a reality! Fitness is a lifetime journey, there is no finish line so 2 step forward 1 step back is still progress

Abs are made in the kitchen” – translation – what you eat directly affects how you look. Sit-ups, planks, core work, etc. alone will never get you that 6 pack. Cut out white sugar, white flour, sugary drinks, refined carbs and you’ll start to see some changes.

Don’t think ’staying fat’ is easy. It’s not easy on your health or your self-esteem. Maintaining isn’t too hard if you find something you love, i.e. kickboxing! and get in the habit of making exercise part of your daily life. Thanks UBC Calgary ladies for this awesome poster
