Our Mission:LIVWell Winners are - GIVE'R!

Over the last 4 weeks, 50 Sun Life staff and family members joined us on a mission towards better health. They spent one week focusing on physical, mental, social wellness and healthy eating, all while completing and submitting their teams log cards.

At the end, one team was selected to win a $50 gift card for the team plus a $100 donation to the charity of their choosing.

And that team was GIVE'R! (Robyn and Joan).

If you would like the opportunity to win a prize while focusing on your health and wellness, join us for our next challenge - ROLLvember! Learn more at https://www.my-fitness.ca/rollvember.

Get STRONG in a new way - follow along on this 8-week program. Each week will focus on how to use strength training to your advantage - to get results. Get stronger, improve posture, and learn new ways to take your strength routine to the next level.

Strength IQ starts tomorrow - Oct 31 - so sign up today at https://www.my-fitness.ca/virtualclasses.

Meet the Optimize Wellness Fair Presenters!

As the Optimize Wellness Fair approaches next week, we wanted to introduce you to the presenters. They come from a variety of fields in the wellness world and cannot wait to share their knowledge with you!

This event is FREE for Sun Life staff members to attend with prizes and special offers being provided at each live session!

Can't make a live session? Not a problem. All sessions will be recorded and sent out to registrants the following day along with the resources provided during the session.

Have you tried a Stackable Workout yet?

These 10 minute focused sessions are awesome for a quick workout, or to stack them together for a customized workout! You can find them in the myFitness Video section.

Why not give this combo a try - CORE STRENGTH (body weight) and COMBINATION MOVES (requires weights - dumbbells, water bottles, etc.).

If you have any questions about Stackable Workouts, let us know at [email protected] or visit https://www.my-fitness.ca/stackable.

Our Waterloo-King location will be unstaffed and there will be no live virtual classes taking place on Monday, October 9th for Thanksgiving.

We hope you all have a safe and healthy weekend and we will see you back on Tuesday!

NEW myFitness Blog Post - TARGET HOPE

Cup half empty or cup half full? This simple litmus test can serve as a general indicator of your hope baseline.

The hopeful stoically reply that the cup is half full. The hope deficient focus on the empty.

Whatever your starting point, hope alone is not enough. Whether your mental needle leans to the positive or to the negative, the key to a brighter future is taking steps to actively fill your cup.
