Healthy Product Recommendation

We pride ourselves in recommending products that we feel are the best on the market and will genuinely benefit our clientele.

As a side note, we do not distribute MLM (Multi-Level Marketing or 'pyramid') based products. We choose our products based on a need or trends we see in our clients.

Most people we speak to are severely deficient in dark leafy greens and thus phyto-nutrients, antioxidants and trace minerals. In simple terms - people need to consume more dark leafy greens!

Veggies are an alkaline food. Human blood needs to be slightly alkaline for max health. Most people are acidic due to a host of lifestyle factors (processed foods, pollutants, poor quality water) that promote acidity in the blood.

A product that we HIGHLY recommend is Ormus Greens...

The purpose of adding a greens drink to your diet is to increase alkalinity, fight toxins, add probiotics to assist digestion and add a strong punch of anti-oxidants to promote health.


About Ormus Supergreens....


•A pure probiotic food cultured in the greens themselves with no powdered probiotics added.


•Non-GMO, and gluten free.

•Sunwarrior Ormus Supergreens uses a pattented cold-drying process which protects the heat-sensitive bioactive components and phyto-nutrients, making a superior raw, green superfood beverage that is both alive and bio-available.

•Produced in the United States, carefully controlled and monitored for purity and organic compliance.

•Sunwarrior Ormus Supergreens are some of the best tasting greens on the planet.

Ormus Greens are available for $60 plus HST for a 1 pound bag


We place orders for our recommended products every 4-6 weeks. Please contact me to order at

Pam's Story plus Before and After Pictures

A huge congratulations to Pam on her incredible transformation! Wow!

It's been a pleasure to watch Pam transform literally before my eyes over the last year. She was incredibly consistent with her attendance and although I pushed her, I could see her pushing herself as her conditioning improved.

Changes of this magnitude do not happen without a major lifestyle change. The exercise will only take people so far. It takes a combination of proper eating, stress management and mental approach on top of the physical exercise. In short - it takes commitment.

Pam used a combination of a Live in Motion Corporate Boot Camp 2 x per week, a Paleo eating plan as well as additional exercise to make her transformation. She hopes her story can inspire others to do the same.

Here is Pam's story;

Where do I begin? Well, let me address that dreaded “before” picture of me. It’s the picture that really started the weight loss and exercise ball rolling for me. I struggled with my weight in my early 30’s due to inactivity, commuting long distances, long work days and the dreaded couple pounds a year gain. I decided it was time for more than one change in my life and made a wonderful career choice that would reduce my long work hours and commute plus encourage and support a healthy work environment. I joined Ontario Shores in September 2010 and shortly after I was visiting my brother and sister-in law and she took the “before” picture of me. I was absolutely horrified at the size and shape of myself, let alone the fact I almost didn’t even recognize myself because my face had become so distorted due to weight gain. I vowed right then and there I would lose the weight and never look like that again! My sister encouraged me to not delete the photo from my phone but to use it as a reminder when I needed encouragement as to why I was making different lifestyle changes.

Ontario Shores really promotes a healthy lifestyle for patients and employees. This afforded me absolutely no excuses not to make these changes. I also had a colleague who mentioned that she attended boot camp and personal training in Bowmanville with Live in Motion. I was extremely intimidated by “boot camp” as I felt the only physical strength I had was being able to jog a little bit.

She assured me that I would enjoy Jason’s humour, encouragement and support and that I could work at my own pace and not feel intimidated. My peer spoke with Jason and our Wellness Coordinator to organize an after work boot camp trial for a few of us who were interested.

A year later of boot camp twice a week and I’m proud to say I feel strong and am in better shape than I was in my 20’s. My love for exercise has increased and it is now something I can’t live without. I’ve never been bored with Jason’s boot camp and love the fact that it becomes a social outlet through some really good laughs or a bit of spirited competitiveness.

I would highly recommend Jason from Live in Motion. I would encourage you to join one of Jason’s boot camps or even get enough people together to start one at work like we did!! Don’t feel embarrassed, discouraged or intimidated. If I can do it with the help of Jason and now be addicted to exercise, then so can you!! Thanks again Jason for providing your community with a great service!

Cheers,
Pam

Having Trouble Losing Weight? Check Your Sleep Patterns!

More and more info has been reaching the fitness industry about the effects of proper sleep on weight loss.

Most new clients that we see that are struggling to lose weight have poor sleep patterns, along with other lifestyle habits that need changing.

Your body needs proper deep sleep to function. If you are struggling to lose weight, check your sleep patterns!

Check out these statistics on sleep patterns;

1) On average we sleep 1-2 hours less per night than 40 years ago

2) Helsinki Health Study 2010 - short sleep (less than 5 hours per day) associated with major weight gain in women

3) Mice exposed to light at night tend to eat more at night and gain more weight, even if total calories are the same as placebo mice.

4) Quebec en Forme project - short sleep duration is the STRONGEST predictor of overweight and obesity in adults and children. More than inactivity, TV watching, alcohol intake, income and education, parental obesity. (Chaput et al, Obesity 2009)

5) Even acute periods of short sleep are associated with increased caloric intake...

*One night of 4hrs of sleep in young men resulted in +559 kcal intake over the following day vs. 8 hrs sleep.
(Brandel et al, Am J Clin Nutr 2010)

6) Increasing sleep also associated with reduced fat gain in adult short sleepers (< 6 hrs/day) over 6 years...

*Increase from 6 to 7.5 hrs/night = 2.4kg less fat mass gained vs. those who maintained short sleep.
(Chaput et al, Int J Obes 2011)

Yoga 101 Workshop

Yoga provides many benefits - focus, deep breathing, stress relief, flexibility, strength and inner peace.

Many clients we speak with are interested in getting involved with Yoga but are unsure where to start. It can be intimidating to simply walk into a Yoga class having never tried one before.

Live in Motion is offering a 90 minute "Yoga 101" workshop to assist those that would like to get involved with Yoga and learn some basics first.

What you will learn - poses that are most common in classes, proper alignment and breathing techniques.

When - Monday, May 28th from 6:30pm - 8pm

Where - Clarington's Wellness Path in Bowmanville

Please email me at lisa@liveinmotion.ca for more details or to register.

We look forward to introducing you to the wonderful practice of Yoga.

Whitby Corporate Boot Camp

Our corporate fitness programs have become a staple at businesses throughout Durham.

Simply put corporate fitness is a winning situation for everyone...

Participants train 2 x per week either on their lunch hour or directly after work. This eliminates the dreaded scheduling conflict. It is much easier to make exercise a priority when you do not need to go home first. We all need exercise to stay healthy, control weight and combat stress. Why not make it as convenient as possible?

Corporations benefit from having healthier and happier employees. Everyone wins.

A big thanks to all the participants at our OS Corporate Boot Camp who have put so much time and effort into staying committed over the last year...
