It’s that time of year again. Calgary restaurants and shops have hay bales in their doorways, locals have swapped their business attire for plaid and the smell of pancakes fills the air!
Yes, it’s the Calgary Stampede: 10 days of country music, cowboy boots and endless pancake breakfasts. And most of them are free!

Golf is a great form of exercise with a regular 18 holes clocking in at approximately 10,000 steps and burning an estimated 2,000 calories. And there are more health benefits to a game of golf. Getting outdoors can help us sleep better and the socialization is important for our emotional health. Planning that next shot sharpens your focus and requires strategic thinking that helps keep the brain healthy as we age.

What’s your fitness goal? Whether it’s to lose fat, gain strength, train for your favourite sport, complete an Ironman, or improve your overall health, our INLIV personal training team can get you there with the help of our medically-based fitness assessment.
Utilizing a wide range of medical screening tests, blood tests and health evaluation, our fitness assessment goes far beyond what you’ll get at a regular gym or workout facility. And that helps your results go far beyond, too! It all starts with an extensive assessment to establish your health benchmarks, determine specific limitations and challenges you face, and set a clear plan in place to move you along your wellness path.

Are you spending far too many hours at a desk, hunched over in your chair, staring at the computer screen? And in the evening after dinner, you sit watching tv until it’s time for bed? All that sitting is bad for your health and recent studies have shown that how long you stay sitting at a time will increase your risk for an early death – even if you are exercising regularly.

Summertime is finally here, and with the longer days and mild nights, many people are ready to travel and take full advantage of the season. In the spirit of Canada’s 150th birthday coming up this July, here are some of our country’s most incredible places to spend some time away, with a family or on your own. At INLIV we love to explore and enjoy the great Canadian outdoors, and we particularly like to hike, bike and get some physical activity while we are at it. In a country as big and diverse as ours, there’s something for everyone – no matter what kind of experience you prefer!

As the weather turns warmer, there are few things better than getting outside to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. And with a city that’s full of bike paths, you can often find our staff out on two wheels, getting their exercise. It’s something that’s very important to us – and that’s why many of us have signed up to do the Branch Out Foundation’s bike tour this summer, in Panorama, BC!

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, along with all the piles of candy and chocolate that come with it.

A healthy heart begins with a healthy lifestyle – and once you get in the habit, it’s easy to maintain.

But before you know it, your gym bag and fitness goals are gathering dust under the couch.
