About angelasassofitness

My passion for fitness began over 15 years ago when I was struggling with weight & health issues most of my adolescent life. I remember when I reached over 185lbs, I had had enough, & had to make some big changes!! I trained myself and lost 50lbs…mind you, it took nearly 4 years to do it because I had no idea what I was doing at the time, but I was committed & I was gonna do it.  I embraced Fitness wholeheartedly from moment on. After I had lost 30 lbs or so, I decided to take a Mixed Martial Arts class at a local gym, it was something I had always wanted to do and finally, I was ready. I loved it and dedicated the next 10 years to training full time Mixed Martial Arts. My  broad spectrum of MMA training included Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It was intense training that included Boxing, Thai Kickboxing, kali weapons, brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as well as Wing Chun. I became an instructor and coach and have taught privately and in group sessions.  “Attaining a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and training with Royler Gracie were inspiring moments.” Philosophy I experienced from Martial Arts that disipline, focus, and attention is critical to results. Training for me is mental, and aesthetics is what happens after, it’s a side effect of dedication. So if you have an hour, a half hour, 2-4 times a week, to exercise, be dedicated and committed to that time, and I guarantee you will get results!“Martial Arts has laid an awesome foundation for me on many levels and I enjoy being able to pass that on to my clients in a way that fits them & their individual goals. Translating the training principles of discipline, focus, and self awareness to an enhanced level of fitness.”Featured in Shape Magazine April 2011 Featured in OXYGEN FITNESS MAGAZINE June & October 2009 Placed 5th in Fitness Figure @ Sandra Wickham Fall Classic 2009 Certificate in Natural Health/ Alive Academy of Natural Health

Vancouver Personal Fitness Trainer: Angela Sasso Gets YOU Results!

Categories: Energy, Mens Health, Pregnancy Tips, Speakers in Vancouver, Weight Loss, Womans Health
Angela Sasso is your gal if you need that extra push for losing weight.  She is not only qualified as a personal trainer, but she has extensive experience in the field and she is a shinning example of what dedication and hard work looks like.  She takes care of herself first and this gives her the ability to get others on a healthy path as well.  A couple of years ago I also was Angela Sasso’s client.  My goal was to become stronger before I became pregnant.  I wanted to lose fat and gain muscle to make my body run more efficiently.  I completed this goal, became pregnant and now I have a beautiful 8 month old girl at home!!  With Angela, I learned what exercises worked for my body and I learned what I could manage for my life.  Also, she keeps your work-out talored for YOU.  If you live in a condo she keeps this in mind, if you are a social person, or if you prefer to work out at home… she keeps all of these things in mind.  She has a lovely personality as well which is extremely important.  NOW, while she may be nice, she’s tough!!  BUT she makes it fun and enjoyable while she gets YOU results!!
Benefits of a Personal Trainer:
  • Commitment! 
  • Keeps you accountable.
  • See results faster than if working out on your own.
  • You push yourself harder because someone is there pushing you a long.
  • Helpful in transforming your whole life style for example, nutrition and fitness.
  • Helps you learn about yourself.
  • You don’t feel alone.

Below is a little note written by Angela.  We wanted to share this with all of you.  She was recently on a Blog Talk Radio Show which discusses Uniting Man’s Physical, Mental and Spiritual character into its true nature of holism.

Hi everybody,
Hope everything is well with all of you…. I just wanted to share an interview I had this morning on a Blog Talk Radio Show (Science of the Soul) with Dr. Michael Likey. Michael is a Metaphysical doctor who I met 10 years ago. Metaphysics seeks to explain the nature of being and the origin and structure of the world, uniting man’s physical, mental, and spiritual character into its true nature of holism.
Dr. Michael Likey, international author and spiritual teacher, his show primarily focuses on a series of regular  meditative thoughts on transformative self-help topics. Every show features a  meditative/scientific treatment along with the particular lecture-topic and special guest. He asked me to be on his his show, and I of course said yes! Being that physical fitness and healthful eating plays is so important for complete physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual wellness.
Have a listen to the link below…
Best,
Angela Sasso

Guest on the Beat 94.5 Kid Carson Show: Dr Tasreen Alibhai, N.D.

Categories: Speakers in Vancouver, Supplements, Weight Loss

This morning on The Beat 94.5, the Kid Carson Show had a wonderful guest, Dr Tasreen Alibhai, N.D.  She is

Dr. Tasreen Alabhai N.D. guest on The Beat shares some easy steps to change your life in a big way.

a well known Naturopathic Doctor in the Vancouver area and she was on the morning show to discuss the small changes we can make that will make a big difference.  Part of the problem with New Year resolutions is we make them too large and we become overwhelmed and often times we cannot follow through. 

This is what Dr. Tasreen Alibhai, N.D. had to say about:

  • Key Nutrients, supplements
  • A suggestion for a detox
  • Easy exercise
  • Smoking
  • Getting rid of Belly Fat
  • The importance of Routine
  • Lastly, her most important tip!

If you have never taken any supplement before and you have no idea where to start these were her suggestions, (Note she was not brand specific, because Naturopaths will often have their own lines, if you are not ready to see a Naturopath yet I put a few different brands.  They are excellent quality.

  1. Good quality Multivitamin.  This is your foundation and it will help you with your energy levels, and your exercise program. If you want a one a day try Alive Super One Plus, or if you need a smaller pill try Platinum Multivitamins.
  2. Good quality fish oil with no toxins, they should have IFOS testing.  Alive Wild Salmon Fish Oil with the small fish i.e. sardines is excellent, if you need a higher concentration of EPA and DHA the omega 3 essential fatty acids then you can try Renew Lifes Fish Oils, or Nutrasea.
  3. B-Complex will help you combat stress.  B vitamins are good for so many functions in the body and a good one to try is the Alive B-Complex 100.  There is also a B-50 available in capsule if you have trouble swallowing.  Lastly, Prairie Naturals has an excellenet B-Complex in liquid form.

Next she talked about DETOXING:

She suggested to try letting your organs naturally detoxify themselves.  How do you do this?  This is where you need to truly cutt out sugar, cutt out coffee, fatty foods, alcohol etc.  This gives your body a rest particularily your liver.  This is common sense, but of course you need to eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in dark colours.  She also recommended that you eat veges that are root veges, such as: yams.  Also it is great to consume onions and garlic.  Lastly, rather than drinking juice, coffee and caffinated teas, try having water with lemon.  It is recommended to have the water at room temperature.

Exercise you can handle:

Most of us cannot fit in an intense exercise and if we can we can never stick to it unless we were born to do it and absolutely love it.  Therefore, like many other Doctors and Naturopaths, include moderate exercise of 30 minutes a day.  A brisk walk even counts and it is something that everyone can afford.  Also little lifestyle changes that can make a big difference: park further away from the door, walk to places if possible, take the stairs etc.  All of these things can really add up.

Quitting Smoking?

If you are trying to quit, you need all the help you can get.  Her two suggestions were: load up on antioxidants to help you detox, secondly, you can use the herb Avena Sativa to help reduce nicotene cravings.  She does note that with herbs you should always check with a health care professional to make sure you can take it.

Belly Fat?

Are you doing everything you can to loose stubborn belly fat?  This is nothing new and we have been helping customers with this at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus for years and there has been lots of success.  However there are still people who do not know about the correlation between stress and belly fat.  Everytime we get stressed, Cortisol is a hormone that releases and when we have too much circulating around in our system, belly fat gets produced.  We have a great supplement called Relora that balances Cortisol and reduces your belly fat.  People often combine Relora with CLA which is Conjugated, Linoleic Acid and this is a natural fat burner. 

Her last two important tips were stressing how important routine is for your body and drinking water.  Most of us walk around dehydrated and our bodies are 60 to 70% water.  Also routine gets your body in balance.  When you sleep at the same time every night and wake up at the same time Melatonin releases properly.  This hormone is not only what allows you to sleep but it also replenishes your body.

As always thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you at Alive Health Centre, Supplements Plus, and Morning Sun to help you reach your health potential!  Make 2010 your best year yet!
