Hi Reader, Last week, I shared a small moment from the grocery store… Seeing AI show up in a Reader’s Digest, right there in the checkout aisle. It felt like a shift. From something distant… So let’s come back to that for a moment. Because this is where people often get stuck. Not because they’re not interested. But because they’re not sure how to begin. From a movement perspective, AI isn’t here to replace your body, your experience, or your intuition. But it can be a tool. A way to ask better questions. So I created something simple to help with that: Better Movement Starts with Better Questions This is also where AI can become useful. Not as something complicated or overwhelming. It becomes a tool to help you reflect on your body in a more structured way. This guide shows you how to do that—step by step. Inside, you’ll find a simple way to: • Understand how your body is moving right now These are the same types of questions I ask my clients when we’re working together. The difference here is that you can start exploring them on your own. Nothing complicated. Just a place to begin. Because this is something I see all the time… People try to do more. More exercise. But often, what actually helps is asking a better question. You’re not broken. Your body is giving you information. This is just a different way to start listening. If this feels like something you’re ready to explore, you can download the guide here:
Next, I’m going to walk through this guide myself—and show you exactly how I’d use it. Not perfectly. Just honestly. More on that soon. Stay well and happy moving, Lisa P.S. If you’re not sure where to start, begin with Question #1. There’s no need to go through the whole guide. One question is often enough to notice something new. Supporting you in your physical activity journey.Together, we will use thoughtful and considerate movement to reprogram how you live in your body. Let's teach your brain to soften the intensity, and to grow your own ease.
Using exercise science, kinesiology, and yoga therapy, we can find a place that will not only allow you to move better and move more, but also increase the quality of your life.

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...
Hello Reader, I hope you've been enjoying this little series on resistance training. One of the things I love about exercise science is that it continues to evolve. As new research emerges, we have opportunities to refine what we know and, perhaps more importantly, how we apply it to everyday life. Last week, we explored research suggesting that approximately 90–120 minutes of resistance training per week may provide the greatest long-term health benefits. As encouraging as those findings...
