Before You Begin
Education
- Each of the 7 modules is comprised of several brief videos that can be accessed collectively or individually.
- After completing one video, you can choose the next video from the list.
- Choose your own pace to complete each module, whether in one sitting or spread out over the course of a week, for example.
- With the exception of the Well 4 U Essentials module, each module includes a mindfulness exercise you are welcome to access separately at any point moving forward.
Movement
- The movement session runs through a series of movements from warm up to cool down, focusing on strength, balance, flexibility and increasing your heart rate.
- 3 versions of each movement are provided. Follow whichever example you feel most comfortable.
- You are encouraged to complete the movement session after each education module, and again another 1-2 times throughout the week prior to moving onto the next education module.
- You are encouraged to complete a Get Active Questionnaire prior to starting any of the movement sessions, found here:
- Use this reference document if you answered YES to any questions on the Get Active Questionnaire and have not consulted a healthcare provider or a Qualified Exercise Professional (QEP) about becoming more physically active.
- Supplies required:
- Something to take notes with, if wanted
- Water
- Resistance bands, hand weights or household items such as soup cans
