ISC Workshop: The Joy of Exercising during the Covid Time

The pandemic may have made gym visits more difficult and less frequent, but it should not stop us from exercising and keeping fit. On August 14th, we were honored to have Beirong Xiong, a cancer survivor and a member of the Canadian National Senior B Women's Dragon Boat Team, to deliver this inspiring workshop session: The Joy of Exercising.

During this session, Beirong shared her story of battling with breast cancer, which was a wake up call for her to realize the importance of healthiness, and how she started her journey of exercising. With her own experience and many photos, Beirong demonstrated the tremendous benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle, which could prevent chronic diseases, and even significantly slow down the aging process for women. In addition, Beirong provided many practical introductions to start the fitness exercise at home. Members attended this workshop were immensely impressed by Beirong's story and her charming personality, and many have already started their own fitness journey after this workshop.
