No one wants to live forever.


But we want to live as long as possible, in the healthiest way possible


And that's where heart-health comes in.


Did you know that nine out of ten Canadians have one or more risk factors for heart disease? Eating a healthy diet, hitting your exercise targets, lowering your alcohol intake are within your control. I have created a program that is both guided and DIY - and this week, as I am away on business, you are going to stay consistent and accountable to YOUR health.


But I am here for your accountability when I am away - you can stay accountable to me, your coach, by

  1. Send me a message every day. "Strong - DONE" "Cycle - DONE."
  2. Comment on the class in the Portal.
  3. Share it in the What's App Group!


Stay CONSISTENT with YOUR GOALS.


So much is in our control.


Do you know what else is within your control?


Stress.


We think stress is something that happens to us, but our reaction, how it affects us physically - this is modifiable.


When I mapped out Heart Health Month I was going to leave stress to the end, but in a world filled with diabolically horrible news, and in a winter (in Canada at least) that feels like a battle at times, you might not even be aware that stress is living in your body and wreaking havoc on your system


I have included a Wim Hof Breathwork video I did years ago and had forgotten about. It is 11-minutes of gold. I have also included a guided meditation and some great shares.


I would like you to mark your calendars for the first weekend of March - we will book (individually, but as a group) a class together on Saturday March 7th at Othership - cold plunge and sauna is a scientifically-backed method of helping our nervous system regulate - and if YOU win the Heart Health Bingo Card challenge the class is my treat!


Due to my illness, we have rescheduled the live cycle Kardia Athletics. It is an East Meets West Healthy Six- Kardia first official class! Please come and support our community and RIDE LIVE - it will either be March 4th or 8th (finalizing this week) and there are only 16 bikes - let's do this!


Today at 5pm we will have our monthly meal prep. Show up to make your own recipes, from the Portal or our cookbooks, and I have also included an AMAZING recipe for you to shove in your freezer - Orange Ginger Chicken Stir Fry. We will spend an hour (5-6pm) doing a short meal prep - I am going to make a delicious pasta sauce (can also be lentil), and Starbucks Egg Bites. A fun hour to make something for your kids, and something healthy for you


ERIN IN MONTREALMONDAY-THURADAY - PLEASE DO RECORDED CLASSES - and if you want to organize a class together, all you need is a Google Meet - share the link, do a class from the VIMEOS loaded to the portal
