On May 5^th, Optimyz Live Health Expo opened its doors for a second show day in Toronto. It was an exhibition on health, fitness and active lifestyle, with a focus on runners and the upcoming marathon the following day. After browsing a few hours with my husband, we picked up a few flyers to take home with us and share the information with those interested in the products we noticed at the show. There were quite a few interesting inventions, such as cooling towels that do not need to be refrigerated; they cool down when you whirl them in the air.

We also found P28 bread and bagels, a new protein product, which we tried a couple of days later. They are baked with 28g of protein and make a good alternative to meat. I have found it sweet and chewy, so I would only have it with jam for breakfast or after a workout. The best product I bought were a set of Run Girl Run tops that are made right here in our province by Regatta Sports. They will come in handy while teaching or working out.

The Uptown Sidewalk and Fall Fest community event at Lansing Residence were such wonderful opportunities to talk to members of two Torontonian communities about water exercise. For some it was the first time they had heard about it; for others it was encouraging to hear that they can have one-on-one sessions or classes in their building or close to their home! Gail Alexis from Lansing invited me to be part of their event and make the weekly class available to the residents.

At the Uptown Sidewalk, Margaret Cheung from Anne Johnson Health Station graciously gave us some of their space in order to display articles, video and equipment. We had beautiful, sunny autumn days, where more people discovered aquafitness!
