Feel like a Booboolups?‏

Booboolups –overweight or out of shape, also romantically or sarcastically describes affection for an overweight female.

Have you been feeling like a Booboolups lately? Embrace yourself and team up with Socacize™ - its time to sweat! After that first sweat you’ll feel energized to move on to the next real thing. Where do you fit?

Step 1 -------------------- Step 2
I feel... -------------------- I feel…
Out of shape ----------- pumped, spirited, committed
Overweight ------------- good – I’m concerned more with function than form
Unromantic ------------ I can make the most of my capacity now
Stale ---------------------- working out with others heals my soul


We hear a lot about obesity these days and the usual solutions range from gastric bypass surgery to the inevitable plea for diet and exercise. But with all this attention, there's one aspect of obesity no one's really talking about. Embracing yourself – think about it! In a world where more money is being spent on breast implants, tummy tuck and Viagra than fitness, health care and diseases feeling like a booboolups is almost inevitable.

If you feel a bit overweight, you sometimes have to be creative in your workout by including cycles of exertion and rest. There are many people talking about exercise and urging you to do it, but they aren't telling you exactly what to do if you can't do traditional exercises. The key is to find something that is comfortable for you, something you enjoy and something you'll continue to do over time - like SOCACIZE™.

Check with your doctor before you begin exercising, especially if you have any health conditions or if you are on any type of medication


FREE fitness assessment test!- We will keep track of your progress in SOCACIZE. This offer is for members with punch cards only.

FREE SOCACIZE™ classes continue at Lululemon Scarborough Town Centre! -

Saturdays from October 3-31st (no class October 10th)

SOCACIZE™ returns to Toronto- Register now!



Thanks to all my SOCACIZE™ participants in New York City!
With the jump, wine and sweat you are certainly ready for the
Labor Day Parade!

Torontonians – time to get serious! We’ll be sweating again! Interested in registering for SOCACIZE™ but have not made up your mind? Here are 5 ways in which SOCACIZE™ sessions can improve your life - feel better, boost your energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than Socacize™!


1. Socacize work-out improves your mood.
Need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? Socacize™ can help you calm down. Exercise stimulates various brain chemicals, which may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out. You'll also look better and feel better when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Exercise even reduces feelings of depression and anxiety.

2. Socacize work-out combats chronic diseases.
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent osteoporosis? Regular exercise might be the ticket.

Regular exercise can help you prevent — or manage — high blood pressure. Your cholesterol will benefit, too. Regular exercise boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol while decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaques in your arteries. And there's more. Regular exercise can help you prevent type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer.

3. Socacize work-out helps you manage your weight.
Want to drop those excess pounds? Trade some couch time for walking or other physical activities. This one's a no-brainer. When you exercise, you burn calories. The more intensely you exercise, the more calories you burn — and the easier it is to keep your weight under control. You don't even need to set aside major chunks of time for working out.

4. Socacize work-out strengthens your heart and lungs.
Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. In fact, regular exercise helps your entire cardiovascular system — the circulation of blood through your heart and blood vessels — work more efficiently. Big deal? You bet! When your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you'll have more energy to do the things you enjoy.

5. Socacize is — gasp — fun!
Wondering what to do on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Looking for an activity that suits the entire family? Get ready to sweat in SOCASIZE™!
Exercise doesn't have to be drudgery. SOCASIZE™ is an alternative to having to go to the gym three times a week. It's the equivalent to having a regular daily fifteen minute daily workout, but compressed into a one hour jam session."

Are you convinced? Good. Register now for
SOCASIZE™- An Exhilarating Caribbean Work out!
