Academic Family Health Team

Finding it hard to get motivation to increase your physical activity?
Do you feel overwhelmed implementing more movement in your day?
Has your doctor advised you to increase your physical activity and exercise but you are unsure how or where to start?

This group workshop is aimed to help support patients who have difficulty implementing movement and physical activity in their day. In the workshop, we will focus on broader thinking of what movement is, promote physical literacy and create a supportive + interactive environment to achieve your own physical activity goals. There will be a strong focus on creating a personalized movement plan that is collaborated with other interprofessional healthcare providers and participants in the group.
