If fitness is a foreign word to you, perhaps you will be inspired to take action and become more familiar with what you can do to make a healthy change. Fitness is not something you work on for one hour each day. Fitness is a way of life. Good luck getting and staying fit. If you have any questions, please contact me at info@tbcpersonaltrainers.com We look forward to hearing from you.

22 g fat (15 g saturated)
95 g sugars
Between the candies and the casseroles, we already have plenty of temptations to deal with during the holidays. We certainly don't need Starbucks' surreptitious sugar overload thrown into the mix. The name implies indulgence, sure, but the fact that this cup holds more sugar than 9 Krispy Kreme doughnuts is pretty appalling. Settle for a candy cane in your coffee or find a different drink.

Federal government would save billions with an Adult Fitness Tax Credit
The federal government would save $2.5 billion over the next 21 years by extending the benefits of the current Children’s Fitness Tax Credit program to adults, according to Dave Hardy, President of the Fitness Industry Council of Canada (FIC) following the release of an economic study on the effects of the program.
“The financial incentive offered by a federal adult fitness tax credit will encourage nearly one million more Canadians to get active and healthier,” said Hardy. “These healthier Canadians will need less health care and miss less work due to illness.”
The economic report conducted by the Centre for Spatial Economics on behalf of FIC concludes that it would take just three years for the health care cost savings resulting from a more active and healthier population to outweigh the net personal tax losses incurred by the government. The credit takes the form of a non-refundable tax credit on eligible amounts of up to $500 per person. Projecting 21 years outward, the report’s findings show the government would see cumulated health care savings of $9.1 billion and cumulated net personal tax losses of $6.6 billion.
Research consistently shows that a physically active person is more likely to have better health outcomes than a non-active person. Regular physical activity is effective in the prevention of several chronic diseases.
“With the Children's Fitness Tax Credit, the federal government already agrees that a financial incentive is an appropriate way to increase physical activity among Canadians,” said Hardy. “Extending the program to include adults is not only good for the personal health of Canadians but also the financial health of the country. We urge the government to act quickly on this important initiative.”
The report, “Economic Benefits of an Adult Fitness Tax Credit”, builds on a March 2007 poll, conducted by Pollara Inc.. When polled more than three in five Canadians supported the idea of expanding the existing federal Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to include all Canadians over the age of sixteen.
The Adult Fitness Tax Credit campaign is your chance to tell the Government of Canada all active Canadians deserve a tax credit for contributing to lowering national health care costs while maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
If you play a sport or belong to an association not represented on this site you think would benefit from an Adult Fitness Tax Credit, please contact info@ficdn.ca. Altenatively please visit www.ficdn.ca

Snacks under a 100 calories
The lure of between-meal snacking is one of the main obstacles to losing weight or maintaining an already slim-and-trim body. But never fear -- you don't have to give up the occasional nosh entirely, as long as you stick to low-calorie foods. In fact, eating regularly throughout the day keeps your metabolism up and keeps your blood sugar at a more consistent level. With that in mind, what follows is a list of healthy snacks that are all 100 calories or less and require little or no preparation.
Peanut Butter Celery Stalk -- One stalk of celery dabbed with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter (the kind without added hydrogenated oils) equals about 100 calories of protein-rich deliciousness.
Reduced-Fat Triscuits -- Six of these crunchy whole-grain crackers tote up to under 100 calories. The fiber content will help fill your stomach.
Dry-Roasted Pumpkin Seeds -- A quarter cup of this mineral-rich snack comes out to about 75 calories.
Chocolate Treat -- For a quick and easy chocolate fix, take about six tablespoons of any brand of light whipped cream or light whipped cream substitute, and fold in a teaspoon of a powdered cocoa mix. Blend it thoroughly. Only about 50 calories.
Strawberry Newtons -- Nabisco sells a two-cookie snack pack of these. Each cookie is 100 calories. Eat one and give the other to a friend.
Cheese Stick with Marinara Sauce -- Put a low-fat mozzarella cheese stick into a bowl along with a quarter cup of marinara sauce. Heat briefly in the microwave (be careful not to overheat or you'll end up with soup). About 100 calories.
Half-Cup of Sherbet or Sorbet -- A good ice cream substitute, and under 100 calories.
Root Beer Float -- Take eight ounces of diet root beer. Add a scoop of non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt. Around 90 calories.
Watermelon -- Two cups of watermelon cubes are fairly filling and equal only about 85 calories.
Corn on the Cob -- One medium-sized ear with a dash of seasoning will set you back only 80 calories.
Puffed Wheat Cereal -- Grab two-thirds of a cup of puffed wheat. Add a half cup of skim milk and a teaspoon of sugar or sugar substitute. About 100 calories.
Blueberries -- They're delicious fresh from a farmer's market. A cup equals only 90 calories.
Vegetarian Baked Beans -- Doesn't taste much different from the kind with pork in it. One third cup is only about 75 calories.
Teddy Grahams Crackers -- The chocolate ones are particularly yummy. Fifteen clock in at 82 calories.
Plums -- Three on the small side add up to around 90 calories.
Bagel Bites -- Found in the freezer section of your grocery store. Two of these little pizza treats equal 100 calories.
Turkey Sandwich -- Make a half-sandwich using a slice of whole-wheat bread and about two ounces of low-fat turkey breast. Add mustard and/or lettuce or a thin slice of tomato if you like. You're looking at about 100 calories.
Seven-Ounce Bottle of Dannon Lite 'n' Fit Carb Control Smoothie -- Good source of protein and calcium. Only 70 calories.
Campbell's Soup-at-Hand -- A convenient microwavable soup that you sip right from the container. The chicken noodle flavor is only 80 calories.
Red or White Wine or Champagne -- Five ounces of the bubbly stuff is under 100 calories.
Fruit and Whipped Cream -- Take a half cup of your favorite kind of berries -- raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries, etc. -- and place them in a bowl. Top with two tablespoons of a low-fat whipped cream or whipped cream substitute. About 100 calories.
Craisins -- Dried cranberries make a nice change of pace from raisins. Four tablespoons come to around 90 calories.
Grapes -- Ever try them frozen? A great treat! Thirty are under 100 calories.
Bagel -- A half a bagel with a very light sprinkling of low-fat butter substitute will be around 100 calories.
Breadsticks -- The kind with sesame seeds -- two of 'em add up to about 85 calories.
