The Good Health Walk is a one of a kind community event to raise awareness for the one thing everyone values – HEALTH.

Essentially all charity based walks and runs aim at bringing attention to and raising funds for the treatment of different diseases and illnesses.  In no way is this a negative but it does speak to our cultural focus on disease treatment as a path towards health.

What does your Lift Heavy schedule look like?

Can you please share YOUR training program?

This looks awesome! What gym has the equipment and space for me to train like this?

It seems after every Move By Design seminar, we get tons of questions like these, so I thought I’d share my own personal training framework with you.

We are Designed to be active, really active.  In fact, we have clear indicators that our body requires different types of movements and at a higher frequency than is currently “normal” for the average Kanata resident.

For most of human history we had to work for our survival—literally working with our hands, arms, legs, and feet using all of our muscles and energy systems to obtain food, shelter, and security. Physical “fitness” was an absolute necessity for survival. If you couldn’t sprint or climb it often meant going hungry or even early death and the end of the line for your genes. Walking, foraging, crawling, twisting, climbing, squatting, pushing, pressing, lunging, jumping, throwing and carrying were the basic movements that helped shape human evolution for over two million years.
