6 ways to start and stick to a fitness routine
Starting and sticking to realistic fitness goals can transform your health and wellbeing. The key is to begin with clear, achievable goals and create a plan that fits into your lifestyle.
Starting and sticking to realistic fitness goals can transform your health and wellbeing. The key is to begin with clear, achievable goals and create a plan that fits into your lifestyle. Here’s how to do it:
set specific goals
Large and vague goals can quickly become daunting. Instead, set clear objectives and break them down into manageable milestones. For example, steer clear of aims such as ‘be healthier’ and ‘get fit’ and instead set specific targets such as running 5 kilometers without stopping or being able to do 50 push-ups in a row.
make it convenient and enjoyable
When it comes to sticking to a fitness routine, convenience and enjoyability
are important. Creating an at-home workout space will help keep you on target and allow you to incorporate fitness into your day without a commute and with minimal costs. Invest in equipment that is conducive to your goals and that you find enjoyable to use. This doesn’t need to be costly – online marketplaces such as Temu offer a variety of budget-friendly workout equipment, from weights, to skipping ropes, workout mats and more.
create a schedule
As with anything, consistency is key. Set aside specific times for your workouts, block them out on your calendar and treat them as non-negotiable appointments.
track your progress
Keep a journal or use a fitness planner to track your workouts and
progress. This not only keeps you accountable but also motivates you by showing how far you’ve come.
make it social and fun
Working out doesn’t have to be limited to the gym. Diversify your fitness routine by signing up for recreational sports or grab some friends and gear and try out a new one. You don’t have to break the bank on equipment though, you can find affordable gear such as frisbees, pickleball rackets or portable badminton sets online at places like Temu.
stay flexible
Life can be unpredictable. If you miss a workout, don’t give up. Adjust your plan as needed and keep going. ■

Banks are required to offer products that are appropriate for you, so take the time to accurately describe your financial situation. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, and make sure you understand the mortgage you want.
Becoming a homeowner can be equal parts empowering and daunting. It comes with increased independence and the opportunity to build equity, as well as responsibility for the property and managing your mortgage.
Even though a mortgage might have a 25 or 30 year total term, you’ll still need to make decisions on it periodically. That’s because your contract lasts for a shorter term, that can range from a few months to five years, or longer, before it has to be renewed. Renewal is also an opportunity to review your mortgage needs and make sure you have the right product for you.
To help you find the right mortgage, consider if:
• Your budget has room for increasing your payments to pay off your mortgage sooner, which helps save on interest.
• You’re likely to make additional payments.
• You’re satisfied with the services offered by your current lender.
You don’t have to renew your mortgage with the same lender. If you find an option that better suits your needs, you can switch. Start shopping around with various lenders and brokers a few
months before the end of your term, to know what they offer. If you’re considering switching, make sure you find out about any fees or costs that come with going elsewhere. If you decide to keep your current lender, you may want to renegotiate a new interest rate. Tell them about any offers you’ve received from other financial institutions or mortgage brokers—your lender may ask for proof, so make sure you have the information on hand.
If interest rates are lower than they were at the start of your term, it could be a good opportunity to switch to a fixed rate. Locking in your payments at a lower rate can save you a lot of money in the long run.
Banks are required to offer products that are appropriate for you, so take the time to accurately describe your financial situation. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, and make sure you understand the mortgage you want.

fraud prevention: 8 things your bank would never ask you
Financial scams and fraud come in many different forms. Sometimes they arrive in the form of a text message, email or phone call, and often are designed to look like they’re coming from your bank.
According to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre, a common type of financial fraud involves scammers posing as bank employees in order to trick their victims into disclosing their banking or personal information.
Countless Canadians have seen these fraudulent messages. Sometimes they’re as simple as a text or email that says the potential victim’s bank account has been frozen, with a link to a fake website where the user is encouraged to enter personal information to “unlock” their account. Other times these scams involve the fraudster phoning a potential victim and pretending to be a bank employee who needs their help as part of a fraud investigation.
Ultimately, the goal of many of these scams is to steal the victim’s personal or banking information to gain access to their accounts, or to get the victim to wire money or purchase gift cards and send the funds to the fraudster.
strict rules around legitimate banking communications
While your bank does require you to disclose certain personal informa-
tion to confirm your identity and provide you with services, there are strict rules governing what they can ask you to disclose, and how they’re allowed to do it.
One of the best ways to protect yourself is to learn what your bank would never do or ask you to do. Your bank would never:
1. Call you to ask for personal information.
2. Ask you to keep a secret or be dishonest.
3. Threaten to cancel your services or ask to remote into your device.
4. Try to rush you into doing something.
5. Ask you to help with an investigation.
6. Ask you to purchase gift cards or cryptocurrency.
7. Ask you to transfer money as part of an investigation.
8. Request access to your computer.
how to help protect yourself from scams
Here are some other tips to help you stay safe from fraudsters:
• Get educated. Understand your responsibilities as an accountholder or cardholder. This information is provided by your bank. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre can also help you learn more about common fraud scams.
• Enable two-factor authentication. Investigate the security settings of your email provider, social media platforms and banking apps, and
enable two-factor authentication wherever available. This offers a higher level of security for your online profiles.
• Stay informed. Take advantage of bank services that can help warn you of problems. For example, if you’re a TD customer, their fraud alerts service can send you text messages notifying you if suspicious activity is detected on your credit card or access card, as long as a current mobile phone number is on file. ■

from prep to plate: how to avoid foodborne illness at home
Every year, one in eight Canadians get sick each year from eating contaminated food, and research shows up to 40 per cent of these cases happen at home.
While the food we eat in Canada is among the safest in the world, it’s still important to handle it safely to help protect your family from food poisoning by following some simple rules:
store your food properly
Always keep raw meat in the refrigerator, ideally on the bottom shelf to prevent juices from leaking onto other foods. Freeze ground beef and other raw meats that won’t be used within one to two days. Refrigerate any vegetables and fresh fruits that need it – this includes all pre-cut produce and packaged items labelled “ready-to-eat,” such as pre-washed salads or cut fruit trays. Ask your grocer if you’re not sure whether specific items need to be refrigerated.
set the right temperature
Make sure your food never reaches the “temperature danger zone” between 4°C and 60°C (40°F to 140°F) where bacteria can grow quickly and cause food-related illness by using the proper temperature settings. Your freezer should be set at -18°C (0°F) or lower, and your refrigerator should be set to 4°C (40°F) or lower.
keep your kitchen fresh
Change kitchen cloths and towels daily or use paper towels to wipe surfaces to avoid the risk of crosscontamination and the spread of bacteria. Avoid using sponges, as they’re harder to keep free of bacteria. Sanitize countertops, cutting boards and utensils before and after preparing food.
plan your defrosting ahead
Thawing meat should be done in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Sealed packages can be thawed in cold water. Only defrost in the microwave if it’s something you’re going to cook immediately. Meat should be completely thawed before cooking so that it cooks more evenly.
use a digital food thermometer
When cooking, meat can turn brown before all the bacteria are killed, so use a digital food thermometer to be sure food is cooked to a safe temperature. Always insert the thermometer through the thickest part of the meat, avoiding any bone. For thin food, such as burgers or chicken breasts, insert into the side. Remember to clean your thermometer according to manufacturer’s instructions between readings to avoid cross-contamination.
