stay motivated and active this season

L

iving an active lifestyle is important for staying healthy all year round.

The trick is to find something you enjoy doing. That could be walking around your neighbourhood, following along a YouTube yoga or workout video, or going out for a bike ride – just get moving.

Activity is important for our mental and physical health, but it can be difficult to find a consistent workout style that’s right for you. Here are some tips to help you stay motivated and active this season:

set up your space Working out at home can be challenging, especially if you don’t have

the space or equipment. But creating an area can be as easy as moving a coffee table out of the way and investing in simple products like skipping ropes, yoga blocks and mats, walking sticks and ankle weights.

You can find a great selection of products for your home gym from Decathlon, a Canadian brand found on the pcexpress.ca marketplace site.

create a support system Consider staying active with someone in your bubble, whether that be a friend, family member, neighbour or a personal trainer who can help motivate you to meet your goals. With a little creativity, finding ways to stay active this season doesn’t have to be daunting.

find your groove Many people find it helpful to start the day with some type of movement.

This can be a great way to maintain a routine no matter what time of day you choose to get active. Walking your dog on lunch break, a virtual class, jumping jacks, skipping, resistance training or at-home weightlifting can all be great ways to find an active groove.

dress for success Workout gear not only looks good, but it’s comfortable, which is important during your workout. Take advantage of the athleisure wear trend and throw gym clothes on at every given opportunity. ■ — News Canada

Home office ideas

to boost your creativity

A

fter so much time at home, it’s no surprise if you’re in need of a creative boost. One of the great things about working from home is that you’re much freer to personalize your workspace. This means you can decorate to boost your mood and motivation.

Here are some updates for your virtual home office to help get the juices flowing:

4Rent.ca

October 23–November 20, 2021

fresh visuals Swap joyful artwork on your desk or walls regularly to keep your environment fresh. Better yet, install a gallery shelf above to house easily changeable prints, family photos and knickknacks that inspire.

pretty plants Bring the outside in with any plant you like. Choose air purifying ones

like snake plants for the full benefits, but even a fake plant is better than nothing since green is said to be a colour that promotes productivity.

point of view Change your perspective and activate your imagination by adding another seating area to your workspace if you can. A comfy chair is a great alternative for when you feel chained to your desk. You can even try stacking

17

books for a makeshift standing desk to achieve new heights for a new outlook.

the right gear Sometimes it’s old tech that’s getting in your way. Whether it’s adding a second monitor like you had at the office or upgrading your old camera to the latest from Sony for enhanced

video calls, livestreams or media projects, new tools can expand your possibilities. Even little things like a mini tripod, a grip for hands-free camera control or studio lighting can also improve your output.

How to find

family history info for free F

amily history is a world many of us would love to explore. However, a mistaken belief that it’s an expensive hobby requiring pricy subscriptions or trips to a special library are holding back many would-be genealogists.

Fortunately, you don’t necessarily need to pay for the information you need. The Canadian census is one of the best tools available for research into family history. And you can find it all for free.

Nearly all the available Canadian censuses are freely accessible through Library and Archives Canada, and the censuses from 1825 to 1926 can be individually searched using an online database.

You can learn many things from the census. But remember that every census is different because the questions change from census to census, as do the possible responses people could give. These changes reflect how Canadian society has transformed from one generation to the next.

In general, since 1871 you should be able to track your ancestors by the following information: • age • sex • marital status • country or province of birth • religious denomination (after 1951, questions about religion have only been asked every ten years) • ethnic origin • occupation • education The earliest censuses might be missing certain information since weather or environmental disasters could make it impossible for all the information to be collected back then, or original records may have been lost to fires or water damage.

Family history can teach us so much about how our lives came to be.

While it’s not always easy to find the information you want, finding free resources like the census can sure make it easier. The census is a great place to start. The 2021 Census starts on May 3. Find more information or complete your census at census.gc.ca. ■ — News Canada

moving bulky items

BY CHUCK RESNICK

When it comes to moving households, handling large, bulky items is a challenge, especially if you decide to do the moving yourself. Here are a few tips that can help.

W

hether it is a pool table or piano, consider hiring a professional moving company to transport your large, bulky items. Ideally, neither you nor an inexperienced mover should be learning the process while handling your large, bulky possessions. This process is not without its risks, and here is how you can prepare:

pool table A pool table must be disassembled before moving it. Depending on the age of the table, you may or may not have the original documentation on how it was put together and how to take it apart. Usually, the side rails and pockets come off, and the felt must be carefully removed.

Depending on the size of the table, it will be composed of up to three large, heavy pieces of slate that comprise the playing surface. These slate surface pieces are often held into place on the frame with screws covered with bees wax. You have to know to look for these; otherwise you can do damage. Each section of slate has to be wrapped in moving blankets. At Two Men and A Truck® – Canada, we also stretch wrap them so we can get a better grip. The slate pieces should not be laid flat in the truck, as being jostled during the trip will create stress points that could cause cracks. The slate pieces should be secured vertically at the sides of the trick and should not come into contact with anything else

during transport.

When it’s time to reassemble the table at the other end, it’s important to realize just how heavy it is and place the sections of it carefully, realizing that its weight can have an effect on floor-bearing capacity. Ideally, pool tables should go into a basement on a concrete floor.

pianos

It takes a minimum of three people to move a piano. The process begins with removing the pedal system, which must happen in a systematic way for the number of bolts that hold it onto the instrument. Pad wrap everything with moving blankets and stretch wrap each piece for added protection.

The process for dismantling the rest of the piano depends on the type. Usually, one leg has to be lifted and unbolted to come off. We leave the bolting system attached and pad wrap & stretch wrap each leg so nothing is lost.

At this point, we lower the piano gently on its side onto a special piano sled.

Then, we remove the second leg while at least two people are supporting the piano. At this point, we shift the piano to the upright position at the edge of the sled, which has an indentation to accommodate the lid overlap so the piano does not touch the floor. It sits on a cushioned blanket and secured to the sled to prevent pressure points while being moved. Then it becomes easy to remove the final leg.

We pad wrap and stretch the piano body, then ease it onto a special dolly and wheel it out the door. The piano should remain on the dolly, which becomes part of it during transport. We strap it to the side wall of the truck, halfway between the two wheel bases, for the least amount of jostling.

Once it is reassembled in the new home, it is critical that the owners have the instrument retuned, as there will be some unavoidable changes from the move.
