Post shovelling snow pump!

Shovelling snow has to be one of my favorite chores (along with chopping wood) as there are just so many benefits to picking up a shovel and getting to it! Physical and mental! 💪🧠👍

How do you move a mountain..? One scoop at a time! 🏔️

So grab a shovel and get to it!

If you want to flip the way you feel this year, then it is the principle - take it one day (or scoop) at a time. Some days you may be able to scoop a little more than others. Sometimes you might hit a sneaky patch of ice and take a shovel handle right to the gut! But the important part is to work at your own pace and keep on shovelling! ⛄️

My goal is to put on another 10lbs of muscle in 5 months before my birthday!

Age: 36 years

If you need some direction flipping your focus then send me a message and we will get after it!

I was trying to put together some highlights from 2025 but this one just seemed to sum it all up nicely!

Been jumping all over town for years and excited to leap into the new year with clear eyes, and a full heart! ❤️

Anyone else looking to flip their focus next year?

These double XBall push-ups are a pretty tough challenge on the stability of well.. just about the entire body!! 🤯

Although this wasn’t the cleanest looking set, the struggle was real which is really the fun part isn’t it! When one of the balls starts to roll or get displaced it becomes very challenging to correct as your other anchors don’t have a reliable base but you still somehow need to find a way to create leverage and push/pull hard against the flow to find your center and recreate an appropriate base of support.

Fight the natural momentum and get used to being comfortable in uncomfortable positions! 💪

Let me know if you can crush a full set of these puppies!

What’s your element?! 💨💦🌱🔥

We will see you next time 💪😁👍

“Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water..”

- Bruce Lee 🐉

I always enjoyed these legendary words but it has taken a long time to somewhat feel like I understand the wisdom that lies within!

What does it mean to be like water.. to be formless and shapeless and so adaptable that it instantly takes the shape of any object it is in? 💦

To be able to stay calm and completely still, while also having the capacity to crash and roll with great forces 🌊

The words of The Dragon might be seen as advice for other martial artists, but they have inspired me to be mindful of this “water-like adaptability” when developing athletes and training programs.

Almost all sports and activities in life (such as playing tennis, swinging kettlebells, gardening, or even navigating around a grumpy customer or through a difficult situation) will require the constant flow in and out of tough positions as you are constantly in motion and adapting to the environment around you. This helps support the notion that developing movement efficiency and mental resiliency are essential elements for success! 💪

Long story short… Be water, my friends. 💧

If you would like to learn how move with more fluidity and confidence, then send me a message and we will get you started on the “Water Phase from FLIP’s Elemental Training Programs!”

Have fun with food! 🍎

and I like being creative, and so when trying to encourage new foods to our son, we sometimes will put in a little extra effort and create some food pictures like this nice Broccoli and Zucchini-finger Forrest! 😋

Definitely will have to make these homemade lobster rolls again! 🙌

I was a little suspect on using the lettuce wraps but it actually tied it all together beautifully! 🦞🥬😋

Here are a few reasons why you should incorporate tactical type workouts into your training regime.

✅ it’s a fun change up from the traditional strength and conditioning workouts 💪

✅ Tactical professionals need to be ready for anything so train yourself the same way!

✅ These functional workouts will strengthen your grip, harden your body, and toughen up the mind 🧠

✅ Less technique is required to push/pull sleds and carry objects compared to classic lifts such as the squat or deadlift.

Just have to grip it and rip it!!💪

What’s for lunch today?

Does the food fit the music 🎶

Quick little bit of everything snack plate ✅

- Just checking the boxes here with 2 decent sources of protein between the almonds and cheese 🧀

- All of the delicious field berries are rich sources of vitamins/minerals and fibre! 🍓

- A little electrolyte blast from the pickle and some healthy fats with the olives! 🫒

- Optional crackers/bread and hummus if some extra carbs/cals are warranted! 🤷‍♂️

All relatively small contributions towards your daily targets but there is much better balance of nutrients here than some of these other more convenient options for snacks.

Try to avoid the “C” words such as chips, cookies, chocolate or candy! Maybe crackers should be on this list as well! Stick with the homemade bread instead! 🍞

Or if you are looking for a little more protein then could add a shake quick and easy. Or you could boil a couple of egg or better yet, bring 1/2 cup of quick refried beans to the party!
