CLEVER TIPS

EXERCISE

ROUTINE E

xercise is a key component in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you are new to daily workouts, or if you are just looking to ramp up your existing routine, there are a few things you might consider to achieve success.

“Two of the most important first steps are to set a realistic goal followed by a plan to achieve that goal,” says Stephanie Dupuis, National Director of Personal Training with GoodLife Fitness Clubs. “Being realistic will help make a positive impact on your overall health, but it also needs to fit into your existing lifestyle. The goal should be something you can commit to.”

When getting started on a fitness program, don’t overdo it. Tackle one lifestyle change at a time. “If you haven’t been involved in exercise, your first lifestyle change can be as simple as exercising two to three times per week.

Once you have been exercising for a month incorporate another change into your routine. Your next lifestyle change can be as simple as increasing the amount of water you drink daily,” suggests Dupuis. However, she stresses that your changes should be gradual. “Changing your health and fitness is a lifelong journey and you have time to make changes.”

Now is the Time

to Enter the Housing Market If you’ve been on the fence about buying a home or selling your current one, what are you waiting for? The Canadian housing market is stable, and the majority of Canadians say that real estate is a good long-term investment. Although interest rates have been slowly creeping up, they’re still well below historical levels. And while home values are increasing, they’re still considered affordable. So, why wait? Here are some of the best reasons to buy or sell:

Reasons to Sell

Your home is a valuable asset.

Nationally, home values remain balanced with most provinces seeing increased or stable home values.

Your family or life situation has changed.

Growing families may need more space than couples or families with grown children. If your home no longer fits your needs, it may be time to sell it in order to buy one that does.

Reasons to Buy Low interest rates.

Mortgage interest rates remain flat, on average, making this a great time to apply for a mortgage.

Reap the benefits of homeownership.

Owning a home gives you the potential to build wealth over time as well as the ability to have control over your own space.

If you’re thinking of buying, selling or investing...

215SHERWAY.TBAIRD.COM $469,800

Regardless of your exercise experience, incorporating a warm up into your routine is vital, Dupuis says.

Your warm up and cool down are important for safety.

A warm up doesn’t have to be long–it can be five to ten minutes. That short warm-up will increase blood flow to your muscles and help reduce your risk of injury.”

After your workout, a proper cool down is equally important. Dupuis recommends, “Gradually reduce the intensity and speed of your activity in preparation for stopping your workout.” A proper cool down allows your heart rate to return to normal and can help prevent you from feeling dizzy or fainting.

When you first begin working out it’s not uncommon for your muscles to ache a little bit–not severe or sharp pain, but a small amount of tension. Soreness comes from using muscles that haven’t been used in a while. It’s normal to feel some soreness 24 to 48 hours after exercising. It will go away. To sooth sore muscles Dupuis suggests that you keep moving the day after you work out. Even going for a walk can help. Remaining still will cause soreness to set in.

Most importantly, remember that everyone starts somewhere.

If you need help, don’t be afraid to reach out to a professional.

Dupuis advises, “Work at your own level and incorporate things you like into your workout. Exercise should be fun.” THN www.newscanada.com

home décor

TINA HOLMES , a home décor expert for the GTA Home + Reno Show, says it's important to tackle your clutter head on. “Clutter creates stress. It gives you a sense that your space is in flux and things need to get done. This prevents you from having a relaxing experience in your own home.”

First order of business when de-cluttering is to take out all the unnecessary items. “Be ruthless,” says Holmes. “Over the course of just one year, we collect so many things and you may not realize it, but even small giveaway key chains and old magazines add up. If you have not used it in the past year – and it's not a seasonal item - you should really consider if you still need to keep it. Once you've cleared out all unwanted items, focus on maximizing shelving space.” »h

Home renovation and design experts are happy to give us helpful advice on how to maximize the space we do have.

Holmes points out for example, that the GTA Home + Reno Show is a good starting point for homeowners looking for guidance.

“We have experts on site who can advise the best options for your particular needs. Make sure you bring your floor plan, pictures of your current space, or even magazine clippings of your design inspiration so they can steer you in the right direction.”

Holmes also highlights the show's local exhibitors: “The majority of them are local GTA and Canadian suppliers so they really know the market. They are familiar with the general concerns of GTA residents, they know the standard layout of most homes and condos, and they know the storage requirements needed in changing seasons because they deal with those exact same conditions themselves.” www.newscanada.com
