Is that me????


      Everyone has that one, or more, picture that make you say, "is that what I really look like?" Here are my mine.


 These were taken back in 2011. At the time I was working at the hotel, didn't exercise except for playing men's league basketball once a week and didn't care about my diet. It was two years since we had my daughter Kya, and at that pint, the gym was the last thing on my mind. 

 Seeing these pictures is when I started to put my gym membership to use. Although I still didn't go as often as I would like, once or twice a week, I did start feeling comfortable with myself.  I would go before work around 7:30am to get a workout in. Despite my body not going through a big transformation at the time, it was still a step forward and it made a positive change in my lifestyle.


If you were like me, and were unhappy with how you look or feel at any point in your life, remember it takes that one step to get you moving forward. Start creating pictures that you're proud of. Make a change. Make it fit!

The Beginning....

Welcome. My name is Marvin (Shane to others). I created this fitness blog to hopefully inspire the average person to stop making excuses and start looking to be a better version of themselves. People tend to think they don't have time, or money for fitness. Or maybe they get intimidated by what they see from bodybuilders or personal trainers out there thinking it's way too advanced for them. Or think they need to be a certain type of person for it. Maybe, just maybe, someone like me (working man, husband, papa of 3) could help change your view on what fitness can be.  The name Make It Fit(ness) was actually suggested by a co-worker who understands my mindset towards a healthy lifestyle. It can have several meanings.. 1. Make it fit... into your schedule. Ever heard of 15 mins, 3 times a week? Really it's that simple. "something is better than nothing". I'm a busy man too between work, kids, chores, finishing my basement, and everyday life. If you ...

Revolution Nutrition

             A while back, I came across a Canadian company called  Revolution Nutrition  on one of my social media. There's a nice little write up on them from on SupplementsReview.com*. Became interested in the variety of flavour they had, combo of  dessert and candy, yum. But at the time, I just received an order so no rush to get more. Summer came along, running low on protein, their ad came up again, how'd they know??      One selling point that got me was to try a refreshing new flavour for the summer instead of the same old common ones. I immediately thought smoothies over milkshakes, so I pulled the trigger and bought some, pictured above. I'd like to add that I helped that they had a buy one get one 50% off sale :)                       ***Disclaimer: I am not a registered dietician, scientist, or doctor, so my knowledge to the contains are very limited, ...

Really good advice... #ChrisPratt

Here's a video (link below) that I saw a while back when Chris Pratt and his co-stars from Guardians of the Galaxy were doing an interview. A fan ask how many times he hit the gym, my takeaway from his response was, "all you have to do is a few things everyday and remain consistent..." I liked this and here is why. A few things . Typically when someone wants to get in shape they feel like it's all or nothing. They change their diet completely and/or kill themselves at the gym for hours, 7 days a week. That's great if that's something that you can sustain but for most people, they can't. A few things could mean a change in your diet. ie. cutting out certain foods (deep fried food, sugars, unnecessary carbs, etc,.) or adding foods as well , ie. fruits and vegetables. A few thing could also mean in your lifestyle as well. Like adding exercise to your day, ie. taking a walk, hitting the gym, joining a sports team. Cutting out late night snacki...
