Fitness Tip Thursday: Our Top Tip of the Week to Improve Your Health and Fitness

 

harbourfront skatersJanuary is not the easiest month of the year to maintain your health and fitness! It’s cold, dark, the days are short, and there are a million other excuses for hibernating in your family room with your pyjamas on. Luckily, there are some fantastic event planners in Toronto who understand what Torontonians need the most at this time of the year: a reason to get bundled up and get outside for some fun, fresh air, and fitness!

Today’s fitness tip is:

Try ice skating!

It’s a fun and social way to enjoy the winter, and a 150 pound woman can burn approximately 500 calories in an hour of moderate ice skating! There are some great (and FREE!) ice rinks in Toronto, and skate rental costs less than two cups of coffee or a netflix movie! 

Check out the following skating parties at Harbourfront. From January 3 onwards, the best DJ’s take over the sound system and the rink becomes a party. Call up your friends, it’s time to make a plan for a fun night of music, laughs, and fun exercise:

Free ($8 for skate rental). 235 Queens Quay W., harbourfrontcentre.com.
