The thing I like about hiking is it's good exercise and it gets better you out in nature. While the benefits of exercise are well-known, being in nature has benefits as well. It's associated with better mental health and less stress. Trees give off phytochemicals called phytoncides which are believed to have restorative properties such as lowering blood pressure. This is the basis of 'forest bathing'. A process in which you spend time in a forest.

While in treatment earlier this year, I started playing pickleball. The program had a court and even in the rain we were out there (it was February so there wasn't much choice). It was a great outlet for us and built community within the program.

Sitting too much? Our new study in 105,000 people published today in JAMA Cardiology indicates sitting for more than 6 hours per day is associated with early death and heart disease.

This beautiful Iris was on my morning walk. Being with nature has relaxing and restorative benefits. Even pictures of nature!

New balance training toy! Got this board to improve my general balance and core strength, as well as dryland training for surfing. This is the before picture. Hopefully I'll work up to the roller and videos.

Scan the QR code, play the game, have fun, learn about COVID vaccines and enter to win a gift card. Working with @scienceupfirst , @the_core_ubco and BC CDC, we're launching our interactive new game COVID Chronicles to provide a fun way to learn the benefits of vaccination against COVID-19.
