Who do you want to be in 2021? Each year, we have members pick a word to guide them through the coming year. It’s a lot more fun than making a New Year’s resolution and it can be very effective. Choose a word or a phrase that is meaningful to you; That gives you a mission, passion, and purpose for 2021 and can serve as an easy, quick reminder to keep you on track with what matters most to you this year. To help you figure out your word consider:... What do you want to focus on this year? What do you need more or less of? What would you like to see change? Once you come up with your word, write it down and put it somewhere you can see it. Be creative: Write it on a rock and put it on your desk. Make it your screen saver or phone’s wallpaper. Some people write it on their exercise card to remind them every time they come into the clinic. The ideas are endless. The key is to keep your word front and center so you can see it and live it. Some words people shared last year were: persist, compassion, courage, joy, listen, strength and presence. Share your word with us this year in the comments below! #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

This year has been trying, to say the least. All of us have felt the weight and stress of the pandemic this year. We like this quote to end 2020 because it reminds us that the pressure of the past year will only make us more brilliant and beautiful . This week, we encourage you to look for the ways that 2020 has brought out your best and allowed you to shine. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

This has been a stressful year full of challenges and many of us are starting to feel weary as the COVID-19 numbers are on the rise again. This quote reminds us that we have come this far and now is not the time to give up. We must stay safe and strong together. Exercise is more important now than ever. There is some research to suggest that regular exercisers may have a better vaccine response than non-exercisers. If you are worried about your safety while in the clin...ic, please talk to us. Our goal is to keep you moving. We can connect you with our at-home options (On-Demand or Livestream) if they feel more comfortable for you. The key is to have a plan so you can continue to exercise rather than taking the approach of quitting and picking it up again when this is all over. The body follows a ‘use it or lose it’ principle. We lose our fitness and strength relatively quickly as compared to how long it takes to build it. You didn’t come this far, to only come this far. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

The news this week isn't a surprise: Canadians are eating more, moving less, gaining weight and experiencing anxiety, stress and depression. A survey released early in the week found that one-third of Canadians have gained weight since March, and one-third are exercising less: https://www.cp24.com//canadians-gaining-weight-due-to-covi - as seen by three separate studies including: This study outlined in The New York Times yesterday ...underscoring the pervasive and immediate effects of barely 10 minutes of exercise: https://www.nytimes.com///25/well/move/exercise-omics.html You have heard that sitting is the new smoking - this study shows us exactly how much exercise we need to offset sitting all day for meetings: https://www.sciencealert.com/getting-a-sweat-on-for-30-/amp For the first time the WHO has released physical activity guidelines that include those with chronic conditions. People with chronic conditions should do at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate aerobics per week or at least 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous aerobics weekly. A few times per week, we should incorporate strengthening and balance exercises to enhance their abilities to function well and prevent falls: https://www.cnn.com//world-health-organization-/index.html It's time to get moving and we encourage you to try for even 10 minutes today to boost your health! #InTheNewsThursday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

WIN WEDNESDAY! This week we want to share Stephanie’s story with all of you! The first photo shows her range of motion before coming to LIVE WELL, the second photo shows her range of motion after a year spent with us at LIVE WELL. Her strength and preserverence is inspiring, and we are so blessed to be part of her journey. I was in an accident 11 years ago and have struggled with mobility issues ever since. I have massive headaches, sound sensitivity, and a lot of pa...in in my body. Regular gyms are too loud for me to attend, and when I would exercise at home, I never knew if the pain I felt was good pain or bad pain. I gave up trying. I needed guidance, but I didn’t know where to turn. My mom’s friend from book club mentioned Live Well to her, and my mom immediately called me to tell me about it! I called Brian that night and went to look at the gym the next day. I was an athlete my whole life, but after my accident I was unable to work out. For 10 years I felt stuck, but coming to live well helped me feel athletic again. Though I am still limited, I can feel confident that the exercises I’m given are helping me progress. The mobility in my arms has changed drastically; I have gone from body weight lunges to reverse lunges off of 4 risers while carrying weights! My legs feel stronger, my arms feel stronger, my mobility is improving, and I feel hopeful for all the changes to come in the future! I tell everyone that if you had asked me 5 years ago to draw up my dream gym, it would be Live Well. The gym is quiet, the class sizes are small, everyone there is so friendly and non judgemental. All victories are celebrated, big or small. The kinesiologists take me as I am on any given day. When I feel good, they push me. When I am having a bad day, they change my exercises to suit my capabilities. I feel so supported on my journey to recovery, mentally and physically. I look forward to seeing people in my classes, I have built relationships with people. Live Well has given me hope, and reconnected me with a part of myself that I have missed so much. Thank you for everything you have done for me. ~Stephanie #WINWednesday #exerciseismedicine #findthejoy #

May we always remember. Just a friendly reminder our clinics will be closed Nov. 11th in remembrance. #remembranceday #gratitude #canada #livewellcoquitlam #livewellnewwest

, . Our businesses do have the appropriate safety plans deemed as more than adequate by public health officials. Please check your email for more details. We appreciate your continued cooperation in following our health and safety guidelines. We welcome you to join our LIVE WELL LIVE Zoom sessions i...f you choose not to attend the clinic in person. We have successfully conducted many online sessions since the beginning of the pandemic. Once again we thank you for your ongoing support and understanding as we work together to keep our members, staff, and communities safe and healthy.

It takes a while to feel the gains you get from exercising, and because these gain build slowly over time, sometimes they go unnoticed. Because we get healthier and fitter in small increments, it’s important to pay attention to how your activities of daily living are getting easier. Maybe you can walk a little farther without being tired. Maybe you can push the grocery cart at the store with greater ease. Maybe picking up a grandchild feels less strenuous eve...n though they are growing. These little improvements happen so gradually we often miss them. So this week, think back, what can you do now that you struggled to do before? Take pride in those small gains because, if you keep it up, they will build to something big with time. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

The first three of LIVE WELL's encourage us to approach our lives with intention. We must be intentional when trying to reach any vision we set for ourselves. By setting time aside each week to plan for the week ahead, schedule our exercise sessions and ensure we have a plan to eat well we are intentional about how we want to live....

Welcome to our Fall into Fitness Challenge!! If you haven’t already heard this program will run fromOctober 1st-30th 2020. The goal of this challenge is to earn 25 points per week by engaging in these major components of fitness: *cardiovascular exercise, *resistance training ... *flexibility training The point structure will work as follows: * 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise is worth 3 points. * 6 -10 Resistance or weight training exercises = 2 points * 5 minutes of stretching or flexibility work = 1 point * A LW exercise session would therefore earn a member 6 points - as it typically covers all three of these areas. There will be a draw for a prize at the end of the month for 1 lucky member! Everyone who participates for 4 weeks will get a free gift so let’s go!! #thankfulthursday #exerciseismedicine #livewellbeourguest #findthejoy #livewellbeourguest #selfcare #weareallinthistogether #medicalfitness #livewellnewwest #livewellcoquitlam #kinesiology #clinicalexercisephysiology #ultraprivategym #movementequalshealth

Win Wednesday! This week we are celebrating improved Blood Pressure! Did you know that having high blood pressure and not getting enough exercise can be closely related? ... The risk of high blood pressure (hypertension) increases for all of us as we age, however, incorporating exercise into your lifestyle can make a big difference! If your blood pressure is already high, then exercise can help you control it. At LIVE WELL our highly trained staff of Kinesiologists will design a customized program for you that will incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. According to the Mayo Clinic Regular physical activity is proven to make your heart stronger, which means your heart can pump more blood with less effort. If your heart can work less to pump, the force on your arteries decreases, lowering your blood pressure. Becoming more active can lower your systolic blood pressure the top number in a blood pressure reading by an average of 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). That's as good as some blood pressure medications. For some people, getting some exercise is enough to reduce the need for blood pressure medication. If your looking to manage or improve your health then please come BE OUR GUEST for a free exercise session!
