I just want to make it clear as well... I'm not here to fight or try to win or anything like that. Fitness and it's surrounding topics are very simple yet people on the internet over complicate everything with plans and diets and this and that! I hate watching it and always want to do something about it... I'm not saying Chica is one of these people as I've only read something from one topic that I disliked which by no means gives me any right to judge so don't think this is about her. But as I did say, when giving advice over the internet one has to be weary of what is said and how it's said. Life (general well-being/'fitness' is part of this) is something where we can learn something new everyday, something new from every person big or small, smart or stupid, black or white... Doesn't matter what degree you have or certification, once you lose that idea that we can help everyone and in turn learn from everyone you are doomed to be part of the corrupt system forever.

I dislike the fitness industry so much. It's not an industry trying to better peoples lives, its an industry trying to use people. Most of the advice you get from people or companies is not 'genuine' in any way, and even though there is genuine advice out there, people have to sort through soooo much crap to get at it.

I really really dislike the industry so much.

I guess to answer where I am lately in the 'fitness' world since I got some Pms asking how things are going...

I'm currently trying to setup a grassroots program with the City of Toronto based solely on that principle I was so randomly talking about... To get kids/teens back to the base of fitness, to the roots of being healthy and being able to live life to the fullest in those regards. To bring people back to what is natural in this world. As much as I find it important, I don't care as much anymore about helping the older generations anymore as most of them are not in it for general wellbeing but for other reasons and to me it's a shame. Granted, I've trained cops, firefighters, marathon runners, yoga instructors, the works and will continue to do so as most of which are really cool people but my main focus is kids. I hate watching them get fatter and fatter, and I love watching them move and smile. Therefore I'm doing something about it and I'm hopefully going to devote the rest of my life towards this cause here.

Along with that I should finally have my own 'gym' by the end of this year if all goes well and stays on track. It will not be a gym like anything we have here in Toronto, and wont have a single machine in it! Oh my! =P As you can probably guess I'm also against our current 'fitness' worlds idea of what a gym should be. Mirrors, Music, everything so clean and perfect, climate controlled, etc etc etc... Yucky. So my ideas right now are very interesting in a sense, and something a lot more real world. Judging from my background of expertise I guess you can imagine theres a few tricks up my sleeve as well ...

Me though during the winter... I train daily. I stretch, condition, and train aerobically everyday. I run or bike in the mornings before breakfast, condition later in the day and stretch and train breathing at night. 2 days a week I rockclimb. 2 days a week I train gymnastics. 1 day a week I box. 1 day I get in Parkour stuff outside where I can.

My diet consists of foods that are the closest to natural as possible. I try to eat balanced proportions of Protein, Carbs from low glycemic sources, and healthy fats all throughout the day in smaller meals. I aim to drink 3L+ of water a day as well. I don't use any hair or body products (not even deodorant), and try to stay away from chemicals in this world as much as I can.

Citius Altius Fortius !
