Targeted Workouts

Meet Doug Duguid. Retired principal and father of 3.

I’ve been training Doug for 5 1/2 years. At 73, Doug’s blood pressure is exemplary. He’s gone from 230 lbs to a very respectable and suitable for his health, 184.

And for appearances sake, in my opinion, better a little robust than wrinkles from getting too skinny.

I put Doug on the spin bike with a weighted vest. Because I’m well acquainted with his medical and workout history, I know the level of exertion he can safely and effectively do. I load him up with 25 pounds on the vest, and after a lengthy warm-up from a seated position, I get him to ride standing up for 5 minute intervals. Carefully monitoring his heart rate.

He’s also suited-up with an inner-tube around his stomach. Strapped in and at my mercy, we target the areas requiring the most impact. Doug comes alone once a week and partners up for his second session.

After the workout we share a few laughs and a delicious and healthy meal.

No classes this long weekend. Ciao, P

Trim Your Gray Bush

This is referring to men’s chest hair. But any gray bush on any part of your anatomy, will do.

Sure, exercise and diet are the bedrock of looking and feeling good, but proper grooming is the icing on the cake. The grisly-gray-nub-look makes you look 20 years older.

The shaven-chest-look is good if you have the chest for it and can pull it of. But it feels like sandpaper, I’m told. Some women prefer a man to look like a man.

Get yourself one of those electric shavers you see at the saloon. Trimmed chest-hair not only looks good, it feels good. Watch the years fall off. Find yourself a place to do it with good lighting.

We like to do ours in the front vestibule of the house because the lighting is excellent compare to the dull lighting in the bathroom. You can see us in window if you’re driving by on St. Clair Ave:)

Here the deal with the summer schedule:

Abs class, with its robust following, will only close down for the month of Aug. It’ll be back up and running in Sept.

Yoga class is presently still going. But if attendance is slackens I will suspend the class until Sept for a fresh start. So come out if want them to continue.

Let me know where you’re at?

Ciao, Pipeto
