Gratitude in motion: your workout soundtrack


Well hello,

This Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, I’m feeling extra grateful—for your energy, your stories, and the ways we inspire each other to move. Earlier this year, I asked our community to pick songs that get you moving—and now I’ve turned them into a workout playlist just for you.

It’s designed to move with your body:

  • We start gentle to warm up

  • Build into high-energy tracks to get your heart pumping

  • Peak with songs that make you feel unstoppable

  • And wind down with a smooth, mindful cool-down

Think of it as gratitude in motion—a way to honour your body, your effort, and this community we share. Whether you’re walking, dancing, or hitting the gym, let these songs carry you through a full-body reset.

I’d love to hear which song gives you the biggest boost, or any tracks you’d add. After all, this playlist is ours together.

🙌🏼 Thank you to Shirley D, Melora J, Elaine B and Theresa W for contributing to this fun playlist!

With energy and gratitude - stay well and happy moving,

Lisa

P.S. Press play this weekend, feel your body, and enjoy moving to the beat of our community!

Hi Reader, This week, a client asked me a question that I just had to share: “What do you think about fitness rings?” I love when clients ask detailed questions like this—it’s a chance to dig into the science and see what’s really useful versus just flashy tech. Fitness rings are getting really popular, and it’s easy to see why. They’re small, comfortable, and they give you a lot of information about sleep, recovery, and movement habits. From an evidence-based perspective, here’s what the...

Hi, Olivia started working with me in the Fall of 2004. Yes, 2004. Over 20 years ago. At the time, she had signed up as a study participant in a research trial at the University of Alberta. I was managing the fitness center where the study was being run, and the focus was on how exercise could impact long-term outcomes of women at risk of breast cancer. Olivia didn’t have breast cancer, but she wanted to give her time to contribute. She was randomized into the exercise group—and she showed...

Hi Reader, I recently started listening to a new podcast called Relish. And no, not the green stuff. Although my thoughts went there first too! It’s hosted by Alyssia Seneik, who I first discovered through her brand Mind Over Munch, where she shared creative and healthy recipes. Now she’s branching into mindfulness, bringing that same creativity to how we think and move through life. One episode really hit home for me, and it made me think of you—my wonderful email community—as well as some...
