Calling out all Ottawans

in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm Raquel, born and raised in Venezuela with a Lebanese background and living in Ottawa, Canada. I still find it too cold in the winter, so getting to the gym is not always an attractive task. I am looking for friends to exchange exercise and cooking tips to make healthier choices. After having my now 2 1/2 year old daughter I have only maintained the weight that I put on during/after pregnancy.

    Hello,

    Being from Ottawa in the Winter doesn't have much benefits! lol

    But I like going to the Athletic Club 4 or 5 times a week... along with the beautiful trails around downtown if you are into running that is. :)

    Cheers,

    Sorry, not from Ottawa but Toronto. Feel free to add or contact me - I also have two children and the Winter has not been forgiving this year. I still make it out to the gym but always looking for new friends, particularly ones from Canada :)

    Hi, I'm from Ottawa too! I hate the cold and don't leave the house unless absolutely necessary during the winter.
    I do yoga and BodyRock workouts in my living room and if we get a mild night I will take a walk.

    I may be one of the few here who absolutely loves the winter; I spend a lot of time skating on the canal, tubing etc you could also do trail walks in Gatineau park.

    However; if going out in the winter is not your thing I suggest you visit fitsugar.com for simple 10 minute workout videos you could easily do at home. There are different workouts to target different areas. I also find Jillian Michaels home videos a very good alternative when I'm too lazy to go the gym, I've only tried 30 day shred and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism workouts but they are both killlers.

    Good luck and feel very to add me :)
