Vancouver Fitness Trainer

I was asked to post this article about a Personal Fitness Trainer I know - Nikki Patterson. She just launched her new business called Full Circle Fitness. Compared to a fly-by-night personal trainer, Nikki Patterson is one of the BEST personal trainer I know! As you may or may not know, anyone can become a personal trainer in a matter of a couple hours by obtaining some personal training certifications online. Neither personal training certifications nor personal trainers are regulated by the state or municipalities, making it possible for anyone and their brother to become a personal trainer. Fortunately for you, Nikki has all certifications you need — her education, knowledge combined with her enthusiastic personality and genuine interest in her clients and their fitness goals, ensures that everyone Nikki works with will receive the best possible program to fit their lifestyle needs.

Here’s a list of Nikki certifications:

* BCRPA Certified Personal Trainer

* BCRPA Certified Weight Training Instructor

* BCRPA Certified Fitness Leader

* Can-Fit-Pro Pre and Post Natal Fitness Specialist

* Usui Reiki MasterTestimonial:

Testimonial

“I’ve belonged to gyms, done boot camps as well as exercised on my own with varying degrees of success. I really liked the idea of someone with expertise focusing on my fitness goals and needs in the comfort of my own home. This has allowed me to see for myself exercises I can do within my home confines and the personal touch has allowed me to have someone check in on my goals and tailor my program around my health issues. I chose Nikki because of her wide knowledge on a variety of fitness topics, her ability to be flexible and adapt to any last minute schedule changes I may have, her positive and cheerful outlook and ensuring my workouts are never boring and always challenging. Since I began training with Nikki my asthma has improved, my back issues have diminished, my core strength has greatly improved, I’ve lost inches in those hard to lose areas and my mental clarity at work has greatly improved. There are many programs out there and many trainers, but Nikki takes a holistic approach to health and sees you as an individual, not just another client.” Lisa

What’s in the news today? Translink cops use tasers on fare evaders, Vancouver Island Cocaine Sailor wants mercy and natives want to riot like Tibetans in case they don’t get enough money before the Olympics.

Is Translink Police, who’s the only armed transit police in Canada, electrocutes fare evaders? The force’s board of directors now has a majority of senior police officers on it, which has been adding to concerns about the force’s use of Tasers on SkyTrain passengers.

The Canadian Press reports that B.C Natives plan to use same strategy as Tibetans in the upcoming Winter Olympic games. Canada’s top native chief says the Vancouver Olympics are a potential target for First Nations protest much like Beijing has been a flashpoint for Tibet supporters.

Vancouver Island cocaine sailor asks for mercy - Court martial continues for former navy officer who used drug off-duty

Vancouver Sun reporter John Mackie says that Developer Marc Williams wants to restore the old Pantages Theatre at 144 East Hastings and this at the cost of $26 million. Up to 136 units of social housing may be built in a new building adjacent to the theatre.

The City of Vancouver OK’s automatic toilets after testing these for one year and 20,800 flushes later, the City’s self-cleaning toilet near the Main Street SkyTrain station has been judged a success worthy of further expansion.

Hi Kids, Mommy Has New Boobs!

Administrator — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:08:04 +0000

You are getting breast implant surgery to enhance your image but don’t know how to explain it to your kids? No problemo… A new picture book about plastic surgery aims to explain why mom is getting a flatter tummy, a ‘prettier’ nose or bigger boobs.

“When she was pregnant with her son Junior, who turns nine this month, Gabriela Acosta ballooned from 115 pounds to 196. Acosta lost the weight but wound up with stretched, saggy skin. Even her son noticed it. He told her that her stomach looked “pruney,” the result, he thought, of staying in the shower too long. So the 29-year-old stay-at-home mom scheduled a consultation with Dr. Michael Salzhauer, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Bal Harbour, Fla.

Acosta told Salzhauer that she wasn’t sure how to talk to her son about the procedures she was considering. That’s when he showed her the manuscript for his children’s picture book, “My Beautiful Mommy” (Big Tent Books), out this Mother’s Day. It features a perky mother explaining to her child why she’s having cosmetic surgery (a nose job and tummy tuck). Naturally, it has a happy ending: mommy winds up “even more” beautiful than before, and her daughter is thrilled.” [Newsweek]

U.S Politics: The Boss Just Announced That He Supports Obama

Administrator — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:10:17 +0000

“Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President,” The Boss said. Citing the need for a “great American reclamation project” to restore the damage done to the United States during the Bush administration, Springsteen writes on his website that Obama is the candidate best able to bring a “new moral purpose” back to the country.

“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships. While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision, so well described in his excellent book, Dreams From My Father, often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment.”[Bruce Sprinsteen]
