Be Notified of New Toronto Games and Teams For Your Sport

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Today sportaholik.com added the ability to be notified by email when new games are posted for a particular sport. Once players create a player profile they can select which sports they want to be notified about. Then, whenever someone posts a new Toronto game on sportaholik.com, players will be sent an email letting them know. Same thing for when a posting is made about a Toronto team that needs players. With a player profile you will be the first to know! Notification of new games via RSS is still available. Look for the RSS icon on each game page. Enjoy!

Sticking to your workout

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

If you are like me, you have problems with staying motivated and sticking to your workouts. Could be anything from stress, too busy or just plain laziness. Sitting on the couch and watching football or hockey sounds like a great idea to me!

I found this on the Men’s Health website which I go to frequently to get tips and new workout plans. A few that I rely on:

3. Track the benefits.
Keep a job-performance journal on the days you exercise and the days you don’t. You’ll find that you do more on the days you exercise, despite taking time out for your workout. Just make sure you compare days that are similar in workload.

10. Join a gym that’s close to home.
“The gym has to be within 10 minutes of your house or your office, or on a straight line between the two points,” says Craig Ballantyne, C.S.C.S, Men’s Health fitness advisor. “Otherwise you won’t use it as much as you need to or want to.”

and one more from me:

11. Get a workout partner
Nothing beats having someone to workout with to help with motivation, spotting and confidence at the gym. Not only that, if you are competitive, it helps you push yourself especially if you are similar fitness shape or he/she is a little better.
