    Hundreds converge on Vancouver to oppose health mandates

    Protesters disrupted the route of a truck convoy and other vehicles that travelled from Langley to downtown Vancouver on Saturday in opposition to COVID-19 health mandates and to show support for the “Freedom Convoy” that converged in Ottawa last weekend.

    At Kingsway and Broadway streets, protesters stood and biked in front of the convoy, blocking traffic until police temporarily rerouted several large trucks, to the cheers of protesters.

    “I don’t necessarily love the idea of blocking roads, because it does make things worse for any type of emergency service and ruins everyone’s day,” said a protester named Madeline, who called the convoy of trucks an act of racism, “because it’s throwing that in the face and billions of people in the world that don’t have access to that health care.”

    Protesters have paralyzed downtown Ottawa for the past nine days, with some participants waving Confederate or Nazi flags and some saying they wanted to dissolve Canada’s government.

    U.S. surpasses 900,000 COVID deaths

    The coronavirus pandemic reached a grim new milestone in the United States on Friday with the nation’s cumulative death toll from COVID-19 surpassing 900,000, even as the daily number of lives lost has begun to level off, according to data collected by Reuters.

    The latest tally marks an rise of more than 100,000 U.S. COVID-19 fatalities since Dec. 12, coinciding with a surge of infections and hospitalizations driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant of the virus.

    Preliminary evidence has shown that Omicron, while far more infectious, generally causes less severe illness than earlier iterations of the virus, such as Delta. But the sheer volume of Omicron cases fuelled a surge in hospitalizations that has strained many U.S. health care systems to their limits in recent weeks.

    Preparing for whatever post-pandemic’s ‘business as usual’ looks like

    The COVID pandemic has permanently changed things for theatre companies, tourism operators and event organizers, even though the rest of society wants to get back to normal.

    “(The pandemic) teaches me … that our business model has to be fluid and that you can’t get frustrated with endless planning cycles,” said Peter Cathie White, executive director of the Arts Club Theatre.

    So, while Cathie White is confident that patrons will get the same old in-theatre experience when the Arts Club raises the curtain on its production of Kim’s Convenience at the Stanley Industrial Stage on Feb. 24 (with everyone around them wearing masks), behind the scenes, things work a little differently.

    Fitness: Your home gym should fit your space as well as your budget

    Whether you live in an apartment, condo, town home or single-family dwelling, here are some tips on how to set up a first-rate home gym.

    Article content

    Office, classroom and now gym. Homes are bursting at the seams to make room for activities that weren’t part of the original floor plan. And while local gyms will eventually open up, the flexibility of working out at home has plenty of active Canadians contemplating turning their makeshift home gyms into something more permanent.

    Article content

    While it’s a rare for a home gym to rival the inventory of equipment and exercise options found at your local fitness club, it’s possible to set up a home workout space to fit any budget or floor plan. Compact or spacious, expensive or bargain basement, high tech or old school, garage, basement, spare bedroom or studio apartment, the best home gyms are efficient in both the space they occupy and the workout they offer.

    Whether you live in an apartment, condo, town home or single-family dwelling, here are some tips on how to set up a first-rate home gym.

    Who’s going to use the space?

    The first step in setting up a home gym is making sure it’s stocked with the right equipment. Before you decide which machines and weights to buy, talk with all potential users to make sure there’s something for everyone. A house full of adults and teenagers will equip their gym differently than a couple in their 60s. Just like the home gyms of a marathoner and a Crossfit enthusiast will probably feature vastly different pieces of equipment. Home gyms that get the most use are built around the fitness goals of its users.

    Decide on the gym’s primary function

    Do you want your home gym to fill in for days when your regular workout is inaccessible, like a runner who uses a treadmill on days when work, family or weather makes it impossible to put in the miles outdoors? Or maybe your idea of the perfect home gym is one designed to complement rather than replicate your regular routine, similar to a cyclist whose gym is equipped with weight-training equipment instead of a stationary bike. Then again, maybe you’re planning on getting rid of your gym membership in favour of a fully equipped, full-service home gym. The more a gym delivers on your fitness goals not only is it more likely be used, you’re less likely to waste money and precious space on pieces of equipment that collect more dust than sweat.

    Create a floor plan

    If space is limited, decide what pieces of equipment you can’t do without and work around that footprint to create the rest of your gym. Don’t pack the space so tight there’s no room to put down a mat, swing a kettlebell or do a couple of walking lunges. Many exercise equipment manufacturers have models geared to small spaces, which is helpful when square footage is tight. When looking for large pieces of equipment like treadmills or squat racks, take the time to review the wide range of models and sizes available. Include room for accessories like a fan, storage for weights and enough wall space for a mirror.

    Consider starting small

    If budget is your primary consideration, start with a few key pieces of equipment and build your inventory slowly as your needs become more defined and your bank account more robust. The best bang for your buck is versatile equipment that trains more than one body part or facilitates a variety of exercises. A pair of adjustable dumbbells that replace anywhere from eight to 16 individual sets of dumbbells with one paired set, a step, mat, resistance bands, skipping rope and kettlebell are good choices. Eventually you can add a weight bench, cardio machine and whatever else you need to fulfill your fitness needs — but don’t be surprised if your initial budget-conscious home gym fits the bill for years to come.

    Set up a smart gym

    What started with the revolutionary Peloton bike has exploded into a new industry of connected exercise machines that offer more variety in terms of workouts. There are treadmills, bikes, rowing machines and space-saving mirror-type devices that offer everything that made the Peloton so popular: livestreamed and/or on-demand workouts led by high-energy trainers and a screen with a real-time display of your personal exercise metrics along with a leaderboard of exercisers doing the same workout from homes around the world.

    Admittedly pricey, smart exercise equipment brings the energy of a community gym into your home. The guided instruction and extra motivation of a lively online community of exercisers sweating with you comes with a monthly subscription fee.

    A great option for small spaces, smart exercise machines fit easily into a spare bedroom or an under-utilized corner of an apartment while offering a large variety of workouts both on and off the machine. They also have lots to offer beginner and veteran exercisers alike, which makes them great for homes with multiple users.
