About

Using experience as a life long athlete to help others stay active for life. Following my career with the canadian national ski jumping team I became head coach of Altius Nordic Ski Club. Coaching a variety of skill levels and age groups; I honed my existing coaching expertise. That experience combined with a decade of gait analysis and shoe fitting has created a unique blend of knowledge and practical experience. Operating an independent running store and organising the run groups has encouraged my focus on community and engagement. A decade of NCCP training and instruction paired with this lived experience provides clients with a unique personalized experience.

Going to the gym can be daunting

Many exercises can be easily modified to be done at home. In endurance sports I mostly see weak glutes, tight hips and tight weak calves. Easy exercises to modify to do at home to get started. There is usually things around the house that can mirror equipment at the house. This is a good starting point to build a foundation for injury prevention before seeing a trainer.

Using the mantel of the fireplace as a box you can do calf raises. Stairs or other steps would work well as well. Something simple like a book can raise your toes for seated calf raises. Weights are easy to find around the house anything from a cat to a jug of water.

Replacing a slider with a tea towel is an easy around the house swap. Cardboard or plastic lids make great sliders for carpeted rooms.

Some exercises only need body weight and a little space.

Recovery

For any athletic pursuit recovery is a big part of the journey. Recovery is a big factor in injury prevention and progress. Letting the foundation set before building on top of it.
