Tracy Steen's TOP 100 Fitness Finds In Kelowna! #4 Mission Creek Greenway!

Its looking like that time of year to head outside and enjoy the weather!!  Today was a great morning for a run, and what better place to do that than the Mission Creek Greenway! Its a path that basically runs through the city of Kelowna.  At the one end (near the Orchard Park Mall, off of Springfield), there's actually a whole horticultural-type center where they host different events, and eco-learning activities.  I've taken my kids to that area, and there is a great park, and wonderful trails.  Check it out!  Its beautiful and being among all the trees and water, smells AMAZING too!

Dave's Incredible 3 Month Transformation!!

I'm a proud Trainer and want to show off my client and his success in changing his body and his life!!  Dave  started his journey in January, and basically took 90 days to transform! Dave decided in early January that enough was enough! He felt like crap and was tired of being unhealthy. He made a commitment to change and the KEY for Dave was staying consistent. For January, there was NO ALCOHOL, and his eating was clean! We introduced him to foods like 0%mf Greek Yogurt and Turkey Chili! The eating was key for Dave! His training at the gym consisted of cardio circuit training. We began with a basic 3 day split and incorporated any cardio component we could along the way. Lots of bench hops and Bosu up and downs while his muscles rested and got ready for the next set. As his body got use to more cardio, he aimed for at least 4-5 cardio sessions a week, and 3+ weight training sessions, as well as his usual hockey night. The reason why Dave was successful is because he was consistent! He had more "on" days than "off" days. Now that his 3 month journey is over, Dave informs me that he is NEVER going back to the "old" Dave! We have found him a way of eating and exercising that is SUSTAINABLE for the long haul...and that too is the KEY! Great job Dave....you ROCKED it!!

Tracy Steen's TOP 100 Fitness Finds In Kelowna! #3 Knox Mountain!

 Today's find is a hike up Knox Mountain! Located at the end of Ellis Ave. , Knox Mountain trails offers hiking and biking for both the beginner and the experienced.  Pack a lunch and take the trail down to Paul's Tomb, right down by Okanagan Lake.  A great way to get exercise and see Kelowna all at the same time!  When you're finished your hike, don't forget to stop off at the Apple Packing Plant, located on Clement,  for a wide variety of locally grown fruits! Kids get their choice of a free apple every time! For more information on Knox Mountain, see the Kelowna city guide below.
