Hi there, So let’s start here… I was standing in the grocery store the other day—right at the checkout. You know that moment where you’re waiting in line, half-looking at the magazines, half-thinking about what you forgot to buy. And there it was. A Reader’s Digest issue… talking about AI. It caught my attention. Not because AI is new. But because of where it showed up. Right there. It made me pause for a moment. Because over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about how technology has shaped the way we move. From Walkmans… And now—this. This is something I hear a lot: “I’m not sure about it.” And honestly, that makes sense. We’ve seen this before. New technology shows up… I ended up reading the article, and what I appreciated most is how it approached AI. Not as something you have to jump into… But something you can understand—and use—within your own comfort zone. From a movement perspective…this is where I think things get interesting. Because AI isn’t about replacing your body or your experience. It’s another tool. A way to ask better questions. But here’s the key: You don’t have to go all in. You don’t have to figure everything out. You can stay right where you are and simply be curious. So let me ask you this: What if AI wasn’t something to master but something to experiment with? Next week, I’m going to share something I’ve been working on. It’s simple. For now, if you’re curious, take a few minutes to read the article. And just notice what stands out.

Hi Reader, Last week, I asked you to consider a question: How much is enough today? A member of our email community replied to say that she agreed wholeheartedly with the message—and that it was a unique way of thinking about physical activity and exercise. I think it feels different because most of us have been taught to measure movement by the maximum. How far did you walk?How much weight did you lift?How many minutes did you exercise?Did you complete the entire workout? We don’t often talk...
Good morning Reader, A few months ago, I wrote about how better movement starts with better questions. Lately, one question has come up again and again in conversations with clients. "How much should I do?" It's a great question. As a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, I can absolutely help answer it. I can recommend sets, repetitions, intensity, and progression. But I've realized that sometimes my job isn't telling someone how much to do. Sometimes my job is helping them learn how to know....
Hello Reader, Here's something that people often don't expect about my work. Sometimes I'm not helping someone prepare for today's exercise. I'm helping them prepare for something that's happening weeks—or even months—from now. It might be a vacation. A hiking trip. Playing with grandchildren. Or, in one recent case... A snorkeling adventure. At first, you might think the concern was the snorkeling itself. It wasn't. It was getting there. Many snorkeling adventures don't begin by jumping off...
