Movement practice every day for July. We begin tomorrow.
Twenty minutes minimum, your choice. Walking, running, weights, yoga, whatever makes you feel good. You do not need anything fancy, or you can be as fancy AF.
Some people love accountability, and if you are that person, you can use this thread to check in here. You can also use your IG account or partner up with a friend. This is not required….but I can tell you from experience that it helps—a lot!
You will not be receiving an email every day. You must save the URL and check back in via this link.
The most important thing to remember is that this is a good thing. Taking care of yourself and putting yourself first allows you to show up for all your loved ones and responsibilities in the best way possible.
As promised on day one, for anyone starting and completing this MVMNT challenge, I am gifting two months of the paid subscription portion of this newsletter. If you are already a paid subscriber, you can gift a friend with the two free months (Please make sure they want it first, that's very important to me).

7/31. A 36 minute walk but I am assessing a 5 minute penalty because I stopped to watch and listen to woodpecker hard at work. Walking was good for my body, but watching and hearing birds, seeing big spiders waiting in their webs, hearing the trees in the breeze - all that was good for my spirit. Loved this challenge and I plan to keep moving every day. Thank you Mia!
Hour and 15 minute walk in nature today versus my usual street route. Didn’t want it to end! Have enjoyed this movement month and logging and reading about the various ways everyone has moved. I’m inspired by you all!!
Today I went to a full body weight workout session at a place I hadn’t been for a while. Great workout and even better to push my ego aside and just show up and do it! Took the usual walk this evening too.
Sat, Jul 29. And a 29 minute walk with my husband. It’ll be a busy day so doubt I will do much more but will work in exercise snacks of squats and balance.
50 minute step and strength class by c dorner fitness. Yesterday did not log but got 10,000 steps by lots of walking at work and walked to and from a meeting downtown. Have a good weekend everyone!
One hour paddleboarding today - I always appreciate the instant biofeedback of a deep breath as I navigate (ok, fairly gentle) boat waves without disgracing myself, haha!
Being heartbroken is definitely a good excuse to take a rest day. I'm GenX, and my favorite movies to watch when I'm feeling heartbroken are actually "Gross Pointe Blank" and "Blue" (actually "Bleu" with Juliette Binoche) If may make a suggestion?
