Aerobic Exercise for Life
If someone told you that there was a way for you to have more energy, be more productive, sleep better, live longer and maintain emotional well-being, would you be interested? Who wouldn’t be, right? It almost sounds too good to be true. You may think, "Okay, what’s the catch?" Actually, there is no catch.

Heart Happy

Moving Through a Frozen February
The dull days of frozen February provide little motivation to be active in a country where inactivity is already an issue year round. A survey conducted by the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute in 1999 shows that 64 percent of Canadians are still not active enough to reap the health benefits of a physically active lifestyle.

Sweat It Out

Reduce Cellulite Naturally
I have always been jealous of my friend, who is naturally petite, eats all she wants, and never seems to gain a pound. But despite how skinny she is, she still complains of cellulite.

Exercise to Entertain

Cardio vs. Strength Training
Cardiovascular training provides a good foundation when it comes to exercise, offering benefits in weight control, endurance, and overall cardiovascular health. Unfortunately, as we age cardio exercises alone can’t help us preserve muscle mass. Combining strength and cardio training is the ideal way to keep your heart, muscles, and bones toned and healthy.

Take It Outside
Successfully enjoying winter sports requires specific preparation and training. Even active adults involved in sports like cycling and jogging haven’t trained for shifts in balance, setting them up for possible injuries when participating in winter sports.

Self Defence
Would you like to get over the fear of attack or learn to act on your own behalf? These are just a couple of considerations that might motivate you to take up a self-defence program. Let’s face it—violence happens; therefore, self-defence is a life skill, not a luxury.

Bliss on the Water
The turquoise blush of the Pacific sparkled in the afternoon sun as my wife and I eased our sea kayaks onto a beach of white, talcum-powder sand. A jumble of bleached driftwood fringed the lush coastal rainforest, home to a pair of bald eagles cruising the cloudless sky.
