WELCOME TO THE MOVE MORE INSTITUTE™ 

Most fitness professionals want to get you exercising more. Not me. I'm a fitness professional with a radical idea: don't exercise. If you hate that 6:00 am bootcamp, don't do it. Just get up off your butt and move more. You know, how our grandparents used to live. 
Let's face it - everyone is too sedentary these days. It's as if we've reversed the evolution of man. You know you need to move more, but how? Do you spend more than half of your waking hours sitting without much movement?  Want to learn how to add more movement and physical activity to your daily life? Not sure how to eliminate the “convenience setup” at your desk? Then join The Move More Institute™! Helpful advice, easy to implement solutions, not to mention fun exercises for anywhere. Check out the videos on this page.

Move More! Tips

WatchedPot"A watched pot never boils"
“A watched pot never boils” - so step away from the stove and move! Your life is busy and you can’t seem to find the time to get to the gym. You’re not alone. Only 15% of Canadians meet the physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. What’s more, Canadians also spend 10 hours per day being sedentary.


But you don’t have to be sedentary. What I’m suggesting is “pre-exercise” - non-exercise activity, i.e., snacks of movement, peppered throughout the day. “Snacks”…”pepper” - yes, these food references are intentional. Because there are many food-related scenarios in your day when you can add a little movement. Like when you’re waiting for that pot of water to boil. 

  • pace: walk around the kitchen, throw in a couple of loops around the table
  • balance: work on your balance by standing on one leg for a minimum of 20 seconds [hint: the timer is already set, so you can track your progress]
  • alphabet: draw the letters of the alphabet with your foot - while you're balancing on your other leg.

Remember: if you move more, you will feel better. Guaranteed.

Land Acknowledgement

I live and work on the traditional and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory. Algonquin people have lived in the Ottawa Valley for at least 8,000 years before the Europeans arrived in North America, and are the customary keepers and defenders of the Ottawa River Watershed and its tributaries. From coast to coast to coast, I acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory of all the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations people who call this land home.
