This is my ‘exercise’ face!

Hey Canada! (And anyone else who stumbled upon this…)

Welcome to ‘This Week’s Workout’ – a new fitness series on CBC Radio 1. Each week I attempt to do a new kind of exercise to see what motivates me and helps kick my butt into workout mode. This blog will have:

  • My fitness results.
  • Links to the apps I’m using.
  • Links to the people who are training me.
  • Pretty embarrassing pictures of my back fat.
  • ‘The Great Canadian Cardio Playlist’ that I have compiled with links to the songs so you can get them on Itunes.

THE PHYSICAL

The YMCA treadmill told me to consult a doctor before starting a new exercise regime, so  I went to see Dr. Kathy Van Zeyl , a naturopathic doctor who specializes in sports medicine and clinical nutrition at the Davisville Health Clinic in Toronto.

Dr. Van Zeyl gave me a clean bill of health, though my blood pressure is a little low. Yay! More salt for me!

She also calculated my Body Mass Index and Waist to Hip Ratio, which is a good way to figure out if your weight is a healthy number for your height and age. Turns out I’m within a healthy range, but because I’ve gained 15 pounds in the last 2 years, she figures my metabolism is slowing down (I’m 43) and I need to do more exercise to stay healthy.

Dr. Van Zeyl also took my measurements. Which was a rather sobering experience.

Why There Are Fewer Women in Comedy

281cleavages

Way back in 2005, I was asked by Definitely Not the Opera on CBC Radio 1 to investigate why there are fewer women in comedy than men.

Recently, this debate has come up again – and I was asked to repost the doc. Luckily, CBC Radio never deletes ANYTHING and I was able to find the story and share it with you!

If you’d like to give it a listen, the audio is posted HERE on the ‘Leave it to Cleavage’ website (the all-female corporate improv comedy group I work with.)

Give it a listen, share, ‘like’ and comment away!
