Workout: We biked from Vanier College to Parc-nature du Cap-Saint-Jacques. There, we had time to enjoy the beach and do some paddle board. The ride was a total of 60 kilometers and took around 5 hours.

What type of workouts and physical activities do you like?

I enjoy cardiovascular activities such as running, swimming, and biathlon (cross-country skiing and rifle shooting). I also really enjoy playing volleyball and any nature-related activities such as hiking.

Do you prefer going to the gym or working out at home?

I prefer going to the gym because being surrounded by people with who I share common goals motivates me.

Weights, yoga, biking, or running; what could you see yourself doing for the remaining weeks of this program?

I would see myself biking because this class made me gain interest in biking. Also, it is the easiest exercise for me to fit in my schedule as I can easily bike to work or to a friend’s house.  

What could you see yourself doing as exercise for the remainder of your life?

I would see myself swimming because it’s something that I really enjoy and can do with friends to keep me motivated.
