In Flanders Fields BYJOHN MCCRAE In Flanders fields the poppies blow... Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

#Repost @pt_arsh Goodlife Fitness 8th Ave STRENGTH TRANSFORMATION ... It’s honestly crazy for me to think that less than 1 year ago, I wasn’t able to flip the tire at my gym. My strength just wasn’t where I wanted it to be. Fast forward to now, where I’m legit flipping it with ease these days! Comment down below something that you’ve done recently that you’re super proud of. (fitness/non-fitness related)

#Repost @pt_arsh Incline push ups > Knee push ups When teaching someone how to perform push ups, I always always always teach incline push ups.... WHY? Modified knee push ups don’t help to train the proper push up movement and don’t help to train many of the muscles involved in your full blown push up. Incline push ups on the other hand are way more similar to full push ups in the sense where it promotes core engagement and proper movement patterns. People often think that push ups are all about upper body strength but think of it this way. Have you ever noticed how similar a push up is to a straight arm plank? Therefore, core strength plays a major role. Incline push ups help to train your body to work in the same way that it will need to for a full push up. As you slowly improve, you are able to lower the position of the bar until you’re eventually able to perform them on the floor. Definitely something to keep in mind next time you are programming for your clients or even yourself!

Zoe our extraordinary fitness advisor our enjoying the summer sun and practicing social distancing with friends We would love to see what your doing to keep moving and enjoy your days!

We can not express how excited we all are for tomorrow!!!! We are looking forward to saying hello, and welcome back to each and every one of you

#Repost @goodlifefitness Do you feel like you've fallen off the bandwagon while in quarantine? Feeling behind on the goals you set for yourself at the start of the year? It's important to remember that health and fitness is a lifelong journey of bettering yourself, full of highs and lows and sometime even roadblocks along the way. Don't let the fear of failure or falling behind immobilize you. Accept it, get up and get started. The sooner you jump back into action, the sooner you'll be on track with the goals you set for yourself. You've got this!

#Repost @run_beans_run Burnaby, British Columbia Well, it’s been a tough week for runners all over the world, with all of our races being postponed and/or cancelled. It’s easy to get disheartened and feel like your months or years of training are now wasted. .... Today I was surrounded by my best friends as we ran a virtual race around Burnaby Lake for @try_events Shamrock’n’race . We talked about how much we love running and the fact that even though the cancellation of our big events have made it hard to find a direction for our running energy, at least we can still run! . Silver lining - I can give my body a well earned rest and enjoy time spent with those who aren’t socially distancing themselves #strongertogether #runfortheloveofrunning #tryevents #smallgroups #keepyourdistance #havesomefun #goodlifevancouver #goodlifefitness
