MOST EXPERTS agree that
some form of moderate physical
activity can have positive mental
and physical benefits to our over-
all well-being.

When choosing an activity, we
should consider a few general fac-

tors, I the activity is going to be
very strenuous, it’s always a good
idea to check with your doctor
beforehand,

Choose an activity that you will
enjoy doing, whether alone or ina
group. Finally, the most important
factor is fun, When physical activity
is fun, we're more likely to stick to it
and think of creative ways it can {it
into our fives. ;

Activities such as hiking, swim-
ming, walking and cycling are ones
we can do alone or in a group.
Organized activities are another
option if the idea of contributing to a
team uppeals to you.

‘The local community centre is -
full of new activities you can learn
and challenge yourself with or famil-
iar ones you cun join in on,

For long-lasting benefits, main-
tain a pace and level that is always *
comfortable. Whether you try some-
thing different or create your own
activities, you'll find out how easy
and enjoyable it can be to stay active,

Charmaine Crooks is a North
Vancouver resident and four-time
Olympian currently in training for
the Commonwealth Games. She is a
co-hast of the CBC-TV program
Cycle! and an honorary chairperson
for the 9-1-1 relay.

{t's very simple, really.
Driving above the speed limit
is dangerous. in fact, in British Columbia
speeding claims more than 200 lives
and almost 8,000 people are injured
every year. Mothers, fathers, children.
innocent victims whose lives
will never be the same.
The police are stepping up their effort to
stop speeders. Ultimately, though,
it’s up to each of us to slow down.

Please, Slow Down.
