As we move into spring and the weather warms up, we often change our modes of movement and activities. Remember if you are starting new activities, or re-starting after a pause, ease back into things. Warm up for 5-10 min using a lighter form of the exercise to get the muscles and joints ready for the work. Start with shorter sessions and build up to your goal distance or time. Don’t forget to take those rest days! If you need a massage for post workout care book in at marymassagetherapy.com

Sometimes you need a higher vantage point to see the bigger picture! ⁠
⁠
That’s exactly what Clara Blakelock, Energy Manager at GreenUP, worked with Scott Murison and Rob Arkell of Wild Rock Outfitters to do — by heading to the rooftop of their downtown Peterborough shop to ensure a complete look at their HVAC system to inform news ways to boost energy efficiency.⁠
⁠
By participating in the development of GreenUP's small business energy pilot, Wild Rock is continuing their long-standing commitment to reducing their own environmental impact while supporting their community, leading by example as an original member of Green Economy Peterborough. 🌿⁠

❓Is warming up before exercise really necessary? And what should you do❓
We’ve always been told we should warm up before exercise, but what does that really mean? A good warm up prepares your body for the sport or activity you are planning to do, and decreases your risk of injury. 🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️
