Active Cambridge

In August this year I was extremely fortunate to attend the annual CanFit Pro Fitness conference at the Toronto Conference Centre and Wow !!!!  what an expererence. 10,000 personal and fitness trainers all participating in a three day 12 hour a day experience.

There were lierally hundreds of sessions to choose from, some hands on, others lectures, but all teaching us to become better trainers and helping us better utilize all the latest science that is being generated around effective fitness programs. The day's just raced by, any spare moments available could be spent in the trade show that was also made available to us where we could observe try and discuss all the latest equipment with the manufacturers.

One of the major highlights was a lunch time visit form Richard Simons, yes the "Sweating to the Oldies" guy. I have never seen anyone lead a workout before that had literally thoudands of people all moving to his commands. At 63 years old he really does practice what he preaches, an amazing guy and a real hoot !!.

The weekend was over all too soon but I came away with a renewed energy and commitment to fitness and all the  positive effects it can have on one's life.    Can't wait for next year ...
