Life Design Workshop with Dr. Ana Campos – Tuesday, April 6th, 11:30-12:20pm
Let’s think about some of those big questions: Are you picking your career for the right reasons? How do we define success? Are there some dysfunctional beliefs that you’ve been taught that are holding you back from finding happiness in your future? Dr. Campos will explore some strategies to help you get comfortable with trying new things, experiencing failures, and building healthy plans for pursuing your goals.

Here are some details about the session from Dr. MacDonald:
- It will be approximately 30 minutes long (including warm up, cool down and stretching)
- No equipment is required (feel free to bring small hand weights if you have them) and a matt or carpet will make you more comfortable for some exercises.
- If you have a bike, treadmill or stairclimber at home you are welcome to use that during the class instead of the exercises I demonstrate.
- You will need a space to do both standing exercise and exercises on the floor (sit ups and pushups etc).
- You can leave your camera on or off, whatever keeps you comfortable.
- Feel free to wear McMaster themed clothing!
- The music is chosen by me but I do take requests.
- Dancing between exercises is encouraged but not required.
- Classes are interval based and modifications are provided for all fitness levels and abilities.
