WEEK 1 - BLOOD PRESSURE (FEB 1 - 7)

Mini Challenge: Know your blood pressure!

High blood pressure (hypertension) affects one in five Canadians. It is the number one risk factor for stroke and a major risk factor for heart disease, so it is very important that it is properly controlled. High blood pressure is often called a "silent killer" because it has no warning signs or symptoms.

Our team will be available to help you take a reading of your blood pressure in our lobby. Check the whiteboard on the gym floor for the schedule. If you cannot make any of the times, your blood pressure can be read at your local drugstore.

WEEK 2 - CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH (FEB 8 - 14)

Mini Challenge: Do a cardio type activity!

Cardio activity is a great way to strengthen your heart. Did you know 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week is recommended? VO2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during exercise. Some wearables will give you a predicted VO2 max score.

You can do a sub VO2 max test in our facility! Try one today on our cardio machines:
- The Cooper Method
- The Astrand Treadmill Test
- The Rockport Fitness Walking Test

WEEK 3 - HEART HEALTH NUTRITION (FEB 15 - 21)

Mini Challenge: Learn about heart healthy nutrition!

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is one of the most important things you can do to protect your health. In fact, up to 80% of premature heart disease and stroke can be prevented through your life choices and habits, such as eating a healthy diet and being physically active.

Attend our Heart Health Nutrition Workshop on Wednesday, February 15th at 5:30PM at Health + Fitness. Free for members! Register through our mobile app. If you can’t attend the workshop, learn more information about this topic from the heart and stroke foundation.

WEEK 4 - MINDFULNESS (FEB 22 - 28)

Mini Challenge: Do a mindfulness activity!

Resting heart rate (RHR) is a measure of your average heart beats per minute (bpm) while your body is in a state of complete rest. Your physical fitness is directly correlated to the strength of your heart. When your heart is in better condition and doesn’t need to work as hard to push blood throughout the body and deliver oxygen to your muscles, your fitness improves. For most healthy adult women and men, resting heart rates range from 60 to 80 beats per minute.

We recommend mindfulness activities such as attending one of our yoga classes, doing a self-guided meditation, or going on a nature or seawall walk!

Attend our Tending the Heart: Finding Meaning Through Presence Workshop on Saturday, February 25th at 1PM at Health + Fitness. Register through our mobile app.
