Stay Fabulously Fit in Fun Ways During the Dreaded Winter Months

With the cooler weather approaching, we must bid adieu to using the outdoors as our vast and endless fitness centre (although I know there are some die-hard outdoor enthusiasts who dig getting fit in bone-chilling temperatures. Well done to you!) For most of us, running through our regular routine and rotation of the various equipment at our indoor local fitness centre, throughout the winter months, can often get monotonous, mundane and downright boring. Have no fear! I'm here to share about numerous establishments that allow fun alternative methods for burning calories and keeping fit throughout the festive season and on into the dreaded looming deep-freeze that is Canadian winter.


Cirque-ability


'Cirque-ability is a Toronto aerial, acrobatic and fitness studio. In 2008, Heather Kentner opened up Cirque-ability in a small west end loft. Heather created a studio where students of all ages and abilities could have fun participating in circus inspired classes. Students come to Cirque-ability to learn the art of circus, improve their fitness and have fun! However, the real success that comes from discovering your “cirque-ability” is feeling inspired to do the things that you never thought possible.'

The Yoga Lounge

'The Yoga Lounge is now in its seventh year. It is open seven days a week to provide more than forty classes and workshops. We offer a very comprehensive yoga program that ebbs and flows to assist the mind and body in adapting to the ever-changing environment we live in. Weekly classes range from gentle restorative to stretch yoga (a studio favourite), progressing to a hatha practice that often threads Iyengar elements, which raise consciousness of the importance of anatomy and alignment. Ashtanga/vinyasa is a flow of yoga postures and is also a studio favourite. This type of practice can give even those already in good physical condition a serious workout.'
