Happy Valentines Day!!!

With all the hearts around today, it's an awesome reminder to take a little extra care of your anatomical heart too!

Get in a little cardio... run, walk, bike, snowshoe, row, however you choose! Get your heart rate up and keep it there for 20min or so. Steady state cardio is great for your heart, aerobic, and mental health!

PSP update on military lane swim - at this time, the pool remains closed. We will post updates.

Movement breaks are key.
Especially when we're working from home where our ergonomics may not be set up for our bodies. Try out this week movement break through your day to break you out of your desk posture.

For additional mobility feel free to reach out to the reconditioning team. We're here for you!

Share. For anyone and everyone who may need it

Blue Monday Survival Guide As Blue Monday comes upon us again, we at CAMH want to help you get through what has been dubbed the most depressing day of the year.

Perhaps the most underrated exercise there is, getting out and purposefully walking every day has so many benefits. Here are just a few. Join in reaping these benefits, grab your shoes (or boots in this chilly weather) and get out to walk every darn day.

Walking was perhaps the best thing that I (the reconditioning team) did for my physical, social, and mental health through the past two years. I challenged myself to get out and walk at least one mile per day for one full year. Each day I would see beautiful things and wonderful people. My body recovered from physical stressors better. My brain recovered from mental stressors better. My spirit recovered from isolation better. My fitness level increased. My mood improved. I got out of my pandemic funk.

Give it a shot. Get out and walk every darn day.

Stay ready, so you don't have to get ready...
The 20mRushes in the FORCE test are often the component that our Reconditioning Peeps see as a barrier getting back to fit. Here's a little four week program to work up to your rushes at home. It's all body weight, all you need is a step/chair/bench for day five.
