Are we experiencing spring, for real?
Is it just us or is everyone feeling a little hesitant to believe spring might actually be here? Spring is a time of planting seeds – the same is true for our wellness. Following nature’s natural cycles makes wellness routines simple. Spring is the perfect time to plant – or re-plant – the seeds for your health. We have a few helpful tips whether you are just starting out or are a well-versed fitness enthusiast! Read on for a few simple ways to cultivate wellness this spring season:
Get Your Movement In
It sounds simple but awareness is key. We know that moving more and sitting less matters for your health. Ensuring you are moving throughout your day is a simple and easy way to bring more movement to your life. The Government of Canada recommends being active for a minimum of 2.5 hours per week – at Vivo, we have plenty of ways for you to meet and exceed that goal!
From sun-up to sun-down, we have drop-in group fitness classes, led by expert instructors, that are guaranteed to get you moving. If you’d prefer a self-led movement session you can swim, climb, lift, run, or skate your way to achieving your movement goals. Vivo Members enjoy access to all areas of the facility – learn more about becoming a member today.
Regardless of how you want to get there, Vivo is your go-to when it comes to your wellness goals.
Spend Time in Nature
Our connection to nature is not to be taken for granted! We know the profound effects that nature has on our bodies and minds – and we encourage you to explore those. Get outside in the morning sun, head for a walk in-between meetings, walk barefoot in the backyard while making dinner, or lace up for a run through the neighbourhood. Being outdoors boosts your mood and vitamin D – giving you a double-dose of goodness when paired with activity!
On days when the weather is less-than-agreeable you can head to Vivo’s Indoor Park to experience nature without the rain or wind. Our Indoor Park has been designed to follow the sun’s cycle, supporting your circadian rhythm despite being indoors!

Connect with Friends & Family
The more, the merrier! There is a reason this saying exists – social connections are critical to our overall wellbeing. Spending time with loved ones makes us feel happier because it reminds us that we all belong. Head to yoga together, walk the boardwalk in the Indoor Park, run side-by-side on treadmills or outside – making time for meaningful connection is definitely a seed worth planting!
The habits you plant now will grow overtime. Nourish them with consistency and excitement and by summer you might just find you have grown your wellness goals into sustainable habits. We are here for it. Become a Vivo Member today and experience the supportive community waiting for you!
