V!VA Workout: Extended Arm Raises
One great exercise routine we use in our V!VAfit program is Extended Arm Raises with resistance bands. This exercise helps build muscle and endurance in your arms, which is helpful for picking up grandchildren or delivering hugs.

Stand on the resistance band with both feet (sitting or standing). Place your arms at your side arms extended, raise your arms up and out, lower your arms slowly and repeat 8 to 15 times.

If you don't have a resistance band, you can also use two full soup cans from your pantry! You can use bigger and heavier cans as you grow stronger.

Lunch and Learn Seminars at the Waterside
Every month, Waterside hosts a Lunch and Learn event that is open to the public. These educational seminars are hosted by experts in their respective fields and focus on a wide range of topics from personal finance to physical fitness to gardening tips. Each event is followed by a cold buffet lunch provided by our Culinary Team from The Shores dining room.

This month's topic is The 7 Aspects of Wellness, hosted by Manali Haridas, owner of Zen for You and takes place on Thursday, February 16 at 12:30pm.

If you would like to join us or learn about upcoming dates, please call 613.253.2010.
