Our Life By Design Challenge for July has been to Get Your Weekly Dose Of Vitamin N… How did you do, btw?  I upped the ante a bit and challenged myself to explore at least 1 new trail each week… And I made it to 7!

For a complete list of the best, family-friendly Kanata trails, check out this post!

The Best Gatineau Park Trails

Normally I get my Vitamin N playing across the Ottawa River in Gatineau Park and I’m often asked “What trail should I do?”

Over the past 3 weeks I have covered the best Nature Trails in and around Kanata.  On today’s episode, I want to take you into my favorite Ottawa Playground – Gatineau Park.

I love my Sundays… It’s a free day for me, a day to not think about or do anything relating to business.  If you know me, then you’ll know that this is an extreme challenge for me…  I’m super passionate and love what I do, so it’s often hard to switch off.

In order to make sure I stay true to my ‘Free Day’ objective, I’ve had to institute some rituals and habits to keep me occupied.

One of my Sunday rituals is to get out into nature, regardless of the weather.  I usually head to Gatineau Park to do a trail run, hike, snowshoe or simply head out cross-country and see what obstacles I can find (see the video below…:)

We’ve all heard the rumors… Squatting is hard on your knees and absolutely terrible for your back, right?

In fact, I used to be one of those ‘experts’ who swore by this… Well intentioned of course, but poorly informed…

We just finished our annual 30 Day Squat Challenge and I’m so proud of everyone who participated all the way to the end! I’ve been sharing specific exercise videos on Facebook to help fix the most common problems people have…

Here they are all in one place:)
