Will you be like Les?

​Meet Les.

Les has been going to his local YMCA at 7:30 am since 1983.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are dedicated to resistance training.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are dedicated to cardiovascular exercise.

He says, "If I don’t feel like going to the gym, I go anyway because the gym has paid me back many times.”

AND Les is 100 years old!

It is the fascinating and inspiring stories like Les' that have driven my passion project, The Why I Move Project, for almost 10 years!

The Why I Move Project grew out of my professional realization that when people have a WHY they are more connected and committed to their physical activity and exercise.

It is a purpose driven approach that helps you along your journey.

Physical activity and exercise IS a journey.

I can guarantee that it isn't a linear straight line and it looks more like the Toronto Stock Exchange. However, for all the ups and downs, there is an overall linear climb.

The linear climb happens over many years and there is a reason WHY behind it.

The goal of The Why I Move Project is to help ignite an inner awareness to what you think, feel and experience when you are physically active. Making your movement more mindful and connected to what you personally receive from it.

One of those days when it feels like a slog to be physically active, bringing your attention to your WHY and it can help you move along…literally.

What can you do now to connect to mindful movement?

✔️ Head over to The Why I Move Project website and explore all the stories and quotes from people just like you!

✔️ Go to the Resource section and watch the educational video.

✔️ When you are on the Resource page, download the Your Emotions and Physical Activity Choices Worksheet. Complete it for yourself and see how your own emotions are linked to physical activity.

✔️ Formulate your own WHY. And share it! Who knows what your story can do for someone else striving to be more physically active!

As always, I am here to support you in your physical activity journey.

I help you to move better and move more often. AND find your WHY!

Stay well and happy moving,

Lisa
