Christmas Tune-up Class Day 1!!!
This morning at 7am I had the first class in my 4-week Christmas Tune-up. We have a great location at 7th Ave and Pine in Kitsilano. Once the sun came up, we were treated to a fantastic view of downtown and the North Shore mountains. Very inspiring indeed!
I am looking forward to running a regular class like this in the New Year. It is a great way for my clients to continue training in a more ecomomical way once they have learned the basics one on one.
Can't wait til Wednesdays workout!
In my own training...
I am determined to seamlessly progress from the 16kg to 24kg kettlebell, so am starting today with 24kg singles spread throughout the day. Really focusing on the total body tension and holding for a few seconds at lockout. I will do a TGU with it someday soon...

On finding time to train...
Since science has proven that three 10-minute sessions give us the same benefit as one 30-minute session, staying fit and strong should be even easier. For many of us, even finding 30 minutes to exercise each day can be a real challenge. Finding 10-minutes, three times a day should not be as difficult...
We must also remember that working out does not have to be in a gym or outdoors. We can exercise anyplace and at anytime! The most simple exercises will do.
Here is an easy 3 exercise example that I challenge you to try:
10 Bodyweight Squats
10 Pushups with hands on a desk or table
10 Jumping Jacks
Do this for 10-minutes and see instantly how much more energy you have! You will not be training to failure and will be able to repeat this a couple more times during the day. Do this for three days in a row and I guarantee your days will feel a lot different! You may even notice an additional boost of energy at the end of your work day that prompts you do do something active in the evening as well. Another added benefit is that you take your body out of the "work zone" and come back energized and more creative. There is an old saying that for every 10 minutes of exercise, you get 1 hour more productivity.
Give it a try! What have you got to lose?

Wing Tsun Kung Fu featured in Journal of Asian Martial Arts!
May's edtion of The Journal of Asian Martial Arts features a 20-page article on the Wing Tsun punch by Sifu Jeff Webb (IWTA-NAS).
JOAMA is one of the only serious martial-arts magazines on the market( http://www.goviamedia.com/)!
Also in the May edition will be ads for Sifu Ralph Haenel's "The Reality of Self Defense" and "The Practical Strength Training Guide for Self-Defense and Martial Arts".
I am one of the featured authors in the second book, with a section on weight-training for Wing Tsun Kung Fu.
This should prove to be an interesting article for anyone interested in the mechanics and execution of powerful punches!

Exercise improves memory... proven by Science!
It has now been proven that exercise boosts brain-power! Exercising causes new brain cells to be built in a region of the brain linked with memory and memory loss. Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging scans to help document the process in mice - then used MRIs to look at the brains of people before and after exercise.
We all knew this already from anecdotal evidence and have now been vindicated by science.
So now exercise really makes you smarter!
