WEDNESDAY WELLNESS! It's hot! We don't just sweat out water, we sweat out electrolytes (salts) as well. So many Sports Drinks are high in calories, but you can find low or zero calorie versions, or even dissolvable tabs. On days when you are sweating lots, getting those electrolytes back in your system are important! Read more here: https://www.acefitness.org//electrolytes-understanding-re/

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS! Sunscreen/block has received a bad rap lately, but some of the information you may have heard may be misguided. Yes, harmful UV rays can harm you - even on cloudy days (like today!) So if you are heading out and not going to cover up with long sleeved clothing, etc, throw on some SPF30+ sunscreen! It IS recommended by dermatologists! For far more authoritative info, please read here:... https://www.aad.org//learn-about-/prevent/is-sunsceen-safe See more

Bootcamp tomorrow! (Hopefully - Currently 40% chance of light rain. We'll go in the rain, but not a storm.) Waterloo Park between the ped/cycling bridge and Perimeter Institute. Updates will be posted here!

Wednesday Wellness Tips are Back!

Sorry everyone, Just ran down the field - it is still a mess. I was hoping we would get a break, and foolishly thought we might get some sun to help dry the field, but no such luck. And the radar hints another little shower before 5:30. So for safety, and so we don't make the field worse, I'm going to cancel tonight. Hope to see people next week!

Summer Bootcamps start Wednesday June 5, 2019!

Wednesday Wellness! This week is a female focused Wellness tip, but applies to men too. And a great read if you're having, or had a child. And even if you haven't - have you heard of your pelvic floor? It is so often overlooked, but so important to many aspects of our health! "Most of us don't even know what our pelvic floor is, let alone how to take care of it. In fact, 1 in 3 women suffer from a pelvic floor disorder..."... http://www.cbc.ca//the-pelvic-floor-where-is-it-when-to-wo Thanks Monate in Ottawa for sharing! https://www.facebook.com/MonatePhysio/
