Feel-good movement starts with this question

Hey, 

Lisa here.

And this week, I’m bringing up something personal.

Something that’s woven into our daily lives, our routines, our memories—and often, our movement too.

You might be wondering… what the heck is Lisa talking about this week?

I’m talking about music.

Yep.

That beat, that rhythm, that melody that lifts us up or calms us down.

Music has been around forever, and it’s been moving with us for just as long. Think drum circles, clapping games, singing as we work or walk or stretch. Music and movement go hand in hand—and I bet it’s part of your routine, too.

So, I’ve got a fun little question for you this week:

👉 What’s your favourite song to listen to when you exercise?

It could be the one that gets you pumped.

Or the one that helps you keep going. Or maybe the one that just brings you joy.

You can comment below with just one, or up to five songs if you’re feeling generous. I’m making a community playlist—something we can all move to, inspired by you.

And you know me… I love to dig into the science. There’s a growing body of research showing just how powerful music can be when we move our bodies:

🎧 Music can boost enjoyment during exercise. One study found that people who listened to music while working out rated the session as more enjoyable than those who didn’t—even when doing the exact same thing!

🎶 It can also increase endurance and intensity. Music can reduce perceived effort, making it feel easier to go longer or push a little harder.

🧠 And on the brain level? Music can actually help regulate mood, reduce fatigue, and even improve coordination. It’s a full-body, full-mind experience.

We live in a time where we can carry an entire library in our pocket—thank you, earbuds and smartphones! So let’s tap into that, together.

Scroll down and comment about your favourite workout tune (or five).

Oh, and one more thing! I haven’t picked a name for our community playlist just yet—and I’d love your help. If you’ve got a creative spark or a fun idea, let me know. Something like “MedFit Moves” or “Move With Lisa: Community Beats”—or maybe something totally unexpected! Let’s name it together.

A community playlist is in the works—a mix of your favourite workout songs that I’ll share in an upcoming post so we can sweat, smile, and groove together.

With music in my heart,
Lisa 💗
