Winter has a funny way of shrinking our world. Cold temps, short days, and suddenly our “movement radius” becomes the couch → kitchen → car → gym → couch. This week’s newsletter is all about expanding that radius again, reconnecting with our community, and leaning into the fun side of fitness.
Let’s dive in.
This month’s challenge is all about low-intensity movement outside of your workout hour.
Why steps?
Because fitness isn’t just what happens during class—it’s what happens the other 23 hours of the day. Walking improves circulation, recovery, joint health, and overall energy levels without beating you up.
Winter makes this tougher, no doubt. But that’s exactly why it matters.
