A grocery store, two kids, and a movement reminder

4/20/2025

Now, for a little story…

This week, I took my two kids to the grocery store—something we don’t do often. I gave them a $10 budget to pick out anything they wanted. For one son, it was easy. For the other? Not so much.

My little foodie didn’t hesitate. He proudly picked out spicy mango slices, coated in chili powder and paprika. Let’s just say—I had my doubts.
Picture

​At home, the first thing he did was try them.

One bite in, his eyes widened.

They were spicy.

But instead of giving up, he left the rest on his plate and returned for tiny bites throughout the afternoon.

What struck me most was his approach: he knew instinctively that the way to handle something bold and unfamiliar was to try a little at a time.

That’s a message we can all take into our own health and movement routines.

Trying something new—especially in movement—takes courage and trust.

But it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

It can be just a little.

One step. One extra walk. One stretch. One mindful breath. One bite.

So if you're thinking about adding something new, remember: small is mighty.

This is exactly the philosophy behind our new 25 for 2025 Walking Challenge, now open in The MedFit Movement Studio. Over 25 weeks, the only goal is to walk an extra 10 minutes a week.

That’s it.

A small, spicy mango-sized bite.


In May, we’re also kicking off virtually:

🌶 Mindful Movement (new themes each week)

🌶 Everyday Yoga (gentle, doable yoga to fit real life)

🌶 Movement Rx (focusing on spinal mobility this month)

​
Come take small steps with us, wherever you are.

And yes—I tried the spicy mango too.

One tiny slice was more than enough for me.

But I’ll keep nibbling, just like we all can when something new feels bold, a bit scary… or a little spicy.

Happy Easter,
Lisa
