Jill Robertson's Healthy Living Tips

Nutrition Tip – The Skinny on Starving Yourself
It is critical to eat SMART not LESS. Eat healthier snacks throughout the day instead of depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to function properly.

Training Tip – Heat Things Up, Cool Things Down
Always perform a proper warm-up and cool down routine. Warming-up increases blood flow to muscles and reduces post exercise stiffness and soreness, while decreasing the risk of injury. A proper warm-up should last 10-15 minutes and look like this:

3-5 Minutes of light to moderate exercise – brisk walking, light jogging or skipping
5–10 Stretching head to toe – hold each stretch for 15 seconds no bouncing.

Note: It is a good idea to stretch the muscle being used between sets of each exercise

Introducing Dean Tina Di Simone

Well, what can I say? I have completed my first week at the beautiful King Campus and what a week it was. On my first day, I was greeted with the warmest welcome anyone could imagine - - thank you all for helping make my first week so comfortable.

A bit about me. I was born and raised in Richmond Hill and moved to Windsor to attend university. After completing a B.A (Hon. Psychology) I was hired by St. Clair College and spent the better part of the past 15 years learning about the Ontario college system. I earned a masters degree from the Univ. of Calgary (Continuing Education) and shortly thereafter, began my doctorate in Education at U of T (still plugging away on this one). So, after 20 years away, I have returned home to begin a new chapter of my life at Seneca College and I'm looking forward to every new adventure.

Kingfest 2007 was an amazing show...

Kingfest 2007 was an amazing show with three days filled with Canadian talent rocking King Campus. Friday night opened with a hip party featuring bands such as Sloan and the Trews. Saturday and Sunday saw acts small and large bring together music lovers in an amazing setting. From the romantic proposal of a local couple during Sarah Harmer's performance to Bruce Cockburn's encore, the magic of music was evident. Thanks to all the Senecans who committed countless hours to this event! Special thanks to Carmen Schlamb for contributing her photos to the blog, watch her website www.carmenschlamb.com for more KingFest photos. We can't wait for next year's show!
