Even the small efforts matter. Start with what you can manage and progress at your own pace week to week. Here are some press variations I encourage you to try! Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday everyone, Here are some exercise variations and progressions for the lower body (glutes & hamstrings). Feel free to give them a try!

Don’t forget to get up and get active! Here are a few lower body movement variations and progressions!

The Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology just recently released their updated 24 hour movement guidelines! Now more than ever it is important to limit sedentary behaviour and replace it with additional physical activity. Physical activity has been linked to reduced risks of many chronic illnesses. Did you know that even short bouts of physical activity can produce a number of desirable effects! Exercise can not only benefits your muscles, but also your bones, heart, lungs,... joints, immune system, cognition, and overall quality life. In summary the CSEP guidelines to maintain and improve our health are as follows: 1. Be active EVERYDAY! (something small is better than nothing at all) 2. Accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity/week. 3. Perform muscle strengthening activities/exercises at least twice per week. 4. Engage in light activities for several hours each day. (Motion is our body's lotion. Stand when you can!) 5. Try to regularly get good-quality sleep (7-9 hours). 6. Limit screen time to less than 8 hours per day. This can be particularly difficult, with many working from from home and technology readily available at our fingertips. Work effectively, give yourself screen breaks, stand up and stretch. Are you reaching CSEP's movement guidelines? Need advice/ suggestions? We are here to help!
