An Environmentalist at A Physical Activity Gathering?
Severn Cullis-Suzuki is known throughout the world for her work in the environmental movement. Why then would Saskatchewan in motion invite her to be the guest speaker at out provincial gathering?
The 2010 Winter Olympics are wrapping up this weekend, I’ve gotta say I’m chocked. I’ve watched at least a few moments of every different type of event. Like most people I enjoy some events more than others. I will totally admit to highly enjoying figure skating, of all types. Those people are athletes for sure. [...]
I am an extreme sports kinda girl. I’m working on building some skills of my own in a few of them. Until then I love, love, love to watch, so the men’s half pipe at the Olympics was a treat. Don’t ask me to explain the names of the tricks or the scoring system. All [...]
It can be an interesting challenge trying to find a specific topic to blog about. This time I was inspired by finding out Feb.3- 9 2010 is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week in Canada. Instead of looking at eating disorders specifically, I thought I’d take a look at what our bodies need! Not only to survive, but to be physically active on a regular basis.
People worry about shape, size, and weight for all kinds of reasons. I think the most important thing to know is that there are healthy ways to meet realistic expectations. People quite literally come in all shapes and sizes, and being healthy is what truly matters.
Fact or Fiction?
Does muscle really weigh more than fat?
In honor of the blizzard Saskatchewan just had, I thought I’d whip up a little something about the shoveling we’re all going to have to do. I had just finished my workout for the day when I decided to tackle the snow pile. By the time I was done clearing a path out to the world, the shoveling had been a more intense work out than the weights I had done. Every year shoveling always used to sneak up and wreck my back for a couple weeks when we’d get a good snow. After a few years in a row of that I learned my lesson. So here are my Snow Relocation Tips!
I was stuck on blog inspiration for this week – I had a couple of thoughts but nothing I was feeling desperate to share with the world. Then I checked my twitter (have I mentioned how much I love twitter.. I love it! [follow me @Kenji22] haha). A second glance at my direct messages revealed a tweet for my “awesome friend Tim” with another idea about how he stays active playing league rec hockey. So this one’s for you Timma!
Hey Everyone! Happy New Year to you all! I wanted to share with everyone a lengthier version of an e-mail I sent out to all of the contacts I’ve made at the 08’and 09’ Student Leadership Conference. As well as the participants of the Lieutenant Governors Youth Forum. Anyway I’ll get right to it; here’s [...]
I’ve never been a hockey player myself but I’m definitely a fan. I’d go so far as saying I’ve tried to play, but actually classifying my actions as “playing” might be a different story. Haha. Thankfully there are many people who are amazingly talented at hockey! So even though I can’t be impressive, I can be impressed by the athletes who do it right. Luckily for Saskatchewan this year’s World Jr. Hockey championship was held here. Two cities, my home town, Regina and S’toon welcomed some of the best young players from around the world to play for gold. I think that’s what is so deadly about watching any competitive sport. It can be inspiring, and usually fires me up to do something myself.
First Hand
Where did a new year sneak up from? It Feels like only a year ago we were all freaking out about Y2K and ringing in the new millennium. It’s a new year and that means a fresh start, big plans, and resolutions of course! I’ve made and shall we say graciously abandoned many resolutions myself. Usually involving working out and getting in shape. This year there will be no resolution. Instead this January 1, 2010 will mark the first day in a gradual endeavor towards a lifestyle change. See I think I figured out why (for me anyway) resolutions don’t work…
My name is Kenji and I work with Saskatchewan in motion, where our goal is to help make Saskatchewan one of Canada's most active provinces! [read more]
