Fitness Education

The PSP Fitness team would like to educate the CAF population through interactive workshops and up to date research articles to bring your training to the next level.

Workshops

PSP Ottawa-Gatineau Fitness Workshops are designed to help members take personal fitness to the next level. Participants should expect to learn new training skills and master techniques to optimize physical training. As a busy Defense team, we often ignore fitness education and knowledge to get an intense workout in but this can sometimes lead to negative outcomes.

Depending on the needs of our participants, members can register for any of our Core workshops to learn more about training techniques. Participants can explore a broad range of topics from goals setting, learning about training principles, to gaining confidence in the gym with knowledge of proper mechanics and exercise technique and selection. 

Exercise is Medicine - Conference with dr. Darrell Menard

Dr. Darrell Menard, a Canadian Armed Forces track and field record-holder, Member of the Canadian Forces sports hall of fame, and Surgeon General's specialist advisor in sports medicine, delivered a wonderful presentation “Exercise is Medicine” at NDHQ(Carling) on 24 April 2019. The presentation covered four main points:

  1. Over the last 20 years, inactivity has become a major risk factor to the health of Canadians.
  2. Regular physical activity will significantly reduce your risk of developing many chronic medical problems such as depression and diabetes.
  3. Being physically active won’t just add years to your life but more importantly it will add “life to your years.”
  4. It is never too late to get started!
