Gyms are FINALLY opening back up in Ontario, or so it seems. Regardless of where you are in the world, or whether gyms actually stay open for an extended time now, this will always be relevant after any layoff time from training.

In this episode I highlight the thing you need to be most careful of when getting back in the weight room. Hint: It's you and your ego...

I also give a reasonable strategy to approach the first few weeks back with a progression into what I think the next couple of months of training should look like. This is what I'll be doing with most of my clients and with my own training as well. I also give a bit more detail in to the specifics of how my own training will begin and the reasons why I'm choosing to progress in that manner.

Lastly, I go over some things to expect upon your return. It's been some time, so some things have changed. This is based on my personal experience from the initial lockdowns with myself and what I saw with my clients. There are going to be some parts that are a bit disheartening and others that are going to light you up. Either way, it helps in knowing what to expect so that you're neither shocked or panicked when things progress the way they will.

Above all else, this is as good a time as ever to fall in love with physical fitness and allow it to forever be part of your life.

As we get back into the gyms, it can be extremely valuable having a coach to help guide you. Whether you're in Toronto or elsewhere, I'd love to be able to work with you and get stronger together.
