The Healthy Eating, Activity and Lifestyle (HEAL™) program helps adults of all ages and fitness levels develop lifelong healthy lifestyle habits.
If you feel unhealthy or believe you could be eating and exercising better, then HEAL is the program for you.
HEAL is available as a group program or on-line.
The group program is run over a 6 or 8 week period, with 2 contact hours per week including:
- 1 hour of gentle exercise - low-moderate intensity physical activity that anyone can do
- 1 hour of lifestyle education.
You will also receive health consultations at the start of the program and after completing the program. The consultation are designed to assess your current health status, fitness level and measure your progress.
