Eighteen months into my journey as an entrepreneur and business owner, I’ve realized something: business ownership is a lot like staying physically active. There are highs and lows, moments of doubt, and moments of sheer joy. Some days, it feels like an uphill climb; other days, it’s like coasting on a bike with the wind at your back. Sound familiar? Just like exercise, running a business requires resilience. You don’t always see the immediate benefits, but you know deep down that every little step counts. And just like physical fitness, success comes from consistency, exploration, and the courage to try something new. If you’ve ever tried to stick with an exercise routine, you know exactly what I mean. Some days, you feel strong and energized. Other days, you wonder if it’s making a difference at all. But then—out of nowhere—you realize you’re moving easier, standing taller, and feeling better. That’s why I’ve always known I wanted to create group programs within The MedFit Movement Studio—to offer a space where movement feels possible, approachable, and rewarding. And today, I’m thrilled to introduce something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time: Movement Rx – Your Movement PrescriptionStarting March 4, this small-group online program will give you the expert guidance, support, and motivation you need to move in a way that truly serves you.

Picture this. You’ve decided it’s time. You’re starting a new exercise routine, and this time, you’re determined to stick with it. You’ve got the motivation, the plan, and maybe even some brand-new workout gear to kick things off. And, of course, you’re going all in. Because everywhere you turn—social media, fitness ads, well-meaning friends and family—the message is the same: More is better. So, for two weeks straight, you push yourself to the limit. Every day, you commit to at least 45 minutes of high-intensity workouts. You tell yourself that feeling sore means progress. That struggling to climb the stairs the next day is proof you’re doing it right. But then… something shifts. Your legs feel like they’re dragging cinder blocks. Your arms protest when you try to lift your morning coffee. You’re exhausted, not energized. And suddenly, the thought of lacing up your shoes makes you cringe. Has this happened to you? Have you ever thrown yourself into a new fitness routine with the best of intentions, only to crash and burn a couple of weeks later? You're not alone. The truth is, we already ask a lot from our bodies. Daily responsibilities—work, family, errands, caregiving—require energy. And when we add too much, too soon, too fast, and too hard, our bodies push back. This is when exercise starts to feel like the enemy. When pain creeps in, frustration takes over, and we tell ourselves: Exercise just doesn’t work for me. It always hurts me. But what if the problem isn’t what you’re doing? What if it’s how you’re doing it? That’s the real game-changer. In my work, I don’t just help people figure out what movement to do—I help them understand how to move in a way that supports their body, rather than breaks it down. Movement should feel good, not like a punishment. It should build you up, not burn you out. Because sometimes, less is better. And sustainable movement? That’s where the real magic happens. ✨ Stay well and happy moving, Lisa Let’s Talk About It!

Let’s find a way to move smarter, feel better, and truly enjoy the process. See you there! 😊 Would it surprise you if I said that when it comes to pain, doing something is usually better than doing nothing? I get it—when you’re dealing with aches that just won’t quit, the last thing you want to do is move. You might even feel like resting is the best way to avoid making things worse. But here’s the thing: science says movement can actually help reduce pain. Why Moving Through Pain (Gently) Works Pain is a signal from your body, and it’s easy to interpret it as “stop everything.” But research suggests that moving the parts of your body that feel good—even if it’s just your wrists, ankles, or shoulders—can trigger your body to release feel-good hormones that help reduce discomfort elsewhere. 👉 One study found that gentle movement can help people with chronic pain feel and function better over time. 👉 Another study supports the idea that even small bursts of movement—called “exercise snacks”—can improve overall well-being. So, instead of avoiding movement altogether, try this: 💡 If your back hurts, try gently rotating your wrists or ankles. 💡 If your knees ache, roll your shoulders. 💡 If standing is uncomfortable, try moving while lying down or in water. Even the tiniest movement—done consistently—can make a huge difference. A Meditative Twist on Exercise Snacks You might have heard about “exercise snacks”—those short bursts of movement that can be sprinkled throughout your day. But what if you combined them with mindfulness? Taking a few deep breaths as you gently move your fingers, toes, or shoulders? That’s an exercise snack with a meditative twist! It’s a simple, effective way to ease tension and improve your well-being. 👆🏼 Stay tuned for more on this at the end of the email and my special offer! But first....
