What is Living Energy? What does the name mean/stand for? ...
Living Energy: The meaning behind the name
We all need energy to live. The more we have, the greater chance we have to live life to its fullest. Energy is life.
When we exercise we are able to create "living energy" by re-charging and improving our bodies natural functions in order
to make daily routines easier for us to perform.
The word "energy" provides us with a sense of power, strength, determination
and being full of life! This is the primary focus of "Living Energy".
The Inner Peace-Living Energy Connection
My Living Energy is a part of Inner Peace Spa. Inner Peace Spa offers relaxation services, and treatments that
are healthy for the mind, body and soul. Living Energy continues with that path to overall wellness by incorporating
and teaching healthy lifestyle habits through activity and healthy eating.
Both offer seminar services either as a team or individually.
Areas of Interest/Specialization:
* Sports Conditioning
* Job-Specific Conditioning
*Kids Fitness
Fun Fitness Accomplishments
A few of my fitness accomplishments...
* 45 minutes straight of skipping (jump rope) (2005): This was a fundraiser for the Heart & Stroke Foundation
while I worked with Strength Tek. Members would put money in to make the trainer of their choice skip. I skipped the
full 45 minutes and only hit the rope 10 times! (Needless to say, I didn't skip for a few months after that...)
* 5 hours straight of cardio activity (2006): Another Heart and Stroke Fundraiser, this time at my gym (FitQuest Wellness
& Fitness Studio). Same idea, but this time money went towards minutes to make the trainer of their choice do cardio.
We raised almost $600 (great for a small gym). We did straight cardio for the full time at a moderate pace. (We made
sure we had sports drinks and food on hand at all times) PHEW!
*2007 & 2008 - Participated as a "celebrity guest" in the local Celebrity Baseball game for
disadvantaged children, with my little buddy, Lorne (former client).
*October 2008 - Completed my goal to run in a half-marathon. I participated in the Picton half-marathon and completed
the race with a time of 2hrs 2min. The experience was all I had hoped for. I trained hard, run farther than I ever have
before, and had family and friends there to see me come through at the finish line.
