Readers, do you know the difference between ashtanga yoga, hatha yoga, yin yoga, and Pilates? Neither did I. Or I should say, neither do I. But I’m learning. Following my commitment to get fitter and healthier, I’ve registered for the…

Readers, can you believe it’s already the third week of January? It’s the time of year when I usually realize that my ambitious New Year’s resolutions have failed epically. But this year, I actually seem to be developing a routine…

Just dooooo it!! Turn those resolutions into healthy habits

Posted on: January 7, 2011 Last updated on: January 7, 2011 Written by: Shannon Comments: 0
This year, I will get to the gym more. I’ll confess, that was last year’s resolution too. But I was teaching in the UK and traveling most weekends, so it was hard to get into a routine. Well, that’s my…

Posted on: December 10, 2010 Last updated on: December 10, 2010 Written by: Shannon Comments: 0
Frozen fingers, frozen toes, and it seems, a frozen commitment to staying active as a busy student. Yes, I’m hanging my head in shame. Several times this month (urgh…daily), I’ve taken the subway from St. George to Spadina Station to…

Swimming: A great aqua-tunity to relax and get fit

Posted on: November 26, 2010 Last updated on: November 26, 2010 Written by: Shannon Comments: 0
I’m not a fan of being cold or wet and I absolutely dread trying to squeeze into my hideously unattractive one-piece (which, by the way, squeezes at all the wrong places). Other than taking a dip to cool off while…

Zumba: A party in a work-out

Posted on: November 5, 2010 Last updated on: November 5, 2010 Written by: Shannon Comments: 5
Readers, where would you expect to be if you were: a. Shaking your hips uncontrollably, attempting to mimic a spicy Latin salsa sequence? b. Flailing your arms pathetically, trying to keep up to energizing hip-hop beats? c. Feeling beads of…
