About me: I’m a Strength Coach and Personal Trainer, and I love my job. I have degrees in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology, and have been helping people get stronger and move better full-time since 2009. Through working with all kinds of different people ranging from elite basketball athletes to active seniors, I’ve learned that the “secret” to effective training is to take a long-term approach. The day you stop training is the day you stop improving, so training programs must be structured in a way that keeps our joints healthy and mind engaged while we build a strong and powerful body. Through sharing information and training tips here, I hope to help more people train for the rest of their lives.

Just found your channel. Excellent content, but I really miss some actual footage from the gym, as a visual cue.

Thanks Norine!

Thank you Andrew for information. When I started to do squats, I could barely do a couple. With time, I have increased the amount of reps. I prefer to do parallel squats. I'm glad that I'm on the right track with my goals.

I just found your channel and am enjoying it. But the captions are this video are really scrambled, making it hard for me to understand because of my severe hearing impairment. Thanks for the work you do for us!

Sorry about that! That did happen on a couple of my videos. I'm not sure what the issue was but I did seem to resolve it.
