Training <strong>tips</strong> <strong>for</strong> beginners<br />

Trainer Stacey Causier from Avid Fitness talks about how to get started.<br />

Regardless <strong>of</strong> your current fitness level, setting<br />

goals can make increasing your physical<br />

activity more fun and rewarding. If you<br />

are considering starting an exercise program<br />

talk to your doctor to make sure it’s<br />

okay (it almost always is). The Bruce Denniston<br />

Spirit Run may <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong> perfect goal<br />

<strong>for</strong> you. Remember, fitness is about a lifestyle<br />

that you maintain <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> long-term,<br />

not <strong>for</strong> a single event. Start slowly and do<br />

activities you enjoy. If you can only walk<br />

one block today — do that! Build slowly.<br />

You’ll be amazed how much better you’ll<br />

feel by taking one step at a time.<br />

Get active!<br />

How to keep moving all year long<br />

favourite post-run meal by far is four<br />

scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese<br />

slices on top and sprinkled with Frank’s<br />

RedHot Sauce with lime.<br />

Always a smile on his face, you are<br />

bound to see Greg out on <strong>the</strong> trails or road,<br />

waving to folks as he runs by. Running<br />

makes him happy and he makes o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

runners feel good about <strong>the</strong>mselves.<br />

Physical activity has far-reaching health<br />

benefits, both physically and mentally. To<br />

facilitate a healthy lifestyle after <strong>the</strong> Bruce<br />

Denniston Society’s Donate <strong>the</strong> Weight<br />

campaign ended last month, <strong>the</strong> society<br />

wanted to encourage people to continue<br />

being active.<br />

April through June could be a period<br />

<strong>of</strong> training <strong>for</strong> and participating in<br />

organized walks/runs/marathons,<br />

preferably <strong>for</strong> a charitable cause<br />

such as <strong>the</strong> Bruce Denniston Bone<br />

Marrow Society Spirit Run.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> summer<br />

months <strong>the</strong>re are many<br />

outdoor activities including<br />

paddling a kayak or<br />

canoe, hiking up a scenic mountain path,<br />

or riding a bicycle around Inland Lake and<br />

getting toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>for</strong> a barbecue afterward.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> months <strong>of</strong> October through<br />

December <strong>the</strong> focus might be on sharing<br />

ideas and recipes that will allow everyone<br />

to enjoy <strong>the</strong> holidays without abandoning<br />

<strong>the</strong> goals <strong>the</strong>y set in <strong>the</strong> previous months.<br />

The goal is Fitness Forever and <strong>the</strong><br />

Bruce Denniston Bone Marrow Society<br />

wants to help our community<br />

achieve it!<br />
