Listen to today's podcast...

We know that we are not active enough, especially during the winter months.

Did you know that almost two thirds of us are not active enough to achieve the health benefits we need from physical activity?

What Is WinterActive?

WinterActive was designed to help Canadians of all ages improve their health and quality of life through healthy living.

Do You Get As Much Physical Activity As You Need?

One of the campaigns that I like was called Live Outside the Box which encourages us to not be caught in a lifestyle dominated by the television or computer.

Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating WinterActive Month:

Be a role model. Children learn more from our actions than our words.

Be realistic about your children’s activity level. 88% of parents said that their kids were physically active, yet measures indicated that 87% were not meeting physical activity guidelines.

Start your day with 10 minutes of movement.

At work, get active by taking stretch breaks during meetings, or have a “walking” meeting

As for me, Off I go to shovel the sidewalk and take my dogs out.
