Last week, I interviewed November Project co-founder Brogan Graham about the evolution of this fascinating free fitness movement. In the second half of my two part feature on November Project, I sit down with the happy leaders of its Ottawa chapter. On fine form, Liz Mackenzie and Lauren Carter shed light on the mental side of community building and co-leadership. We talk bananas, bounces, and burpees and get the inside scoop on what makes this worldwide fitness movement so successful in Canada's capital. (Oh, and keep an eye out for the outtake.)

I couldn't let November pass without featuring one of the most successful free fitness movements of our time. It all began as a dare between 2 rowing pals. From Iceland to Indonesia to Indianapolis, November Project catches sunrises in 52 cities across the globe. In Part 1 of this special HEA feature, I chat with its philosophical co-founder, Brogan Graham, about NP's origins, evolution, and even the moment it outgrew his control and his wildest expectations.

Time to call B.S. on another toxic artifact of today's fitness culture. In this episode, Kelly jumps on a recent exercise physiology study in a scientific journal called Sport to destroy a common adage floating around social media. So is it "fit for the pit"? Let's let science have its say.

Latest Review (Audible):

I'm a hard sell when it comes to books. If it doesn't grab me, I'm out. But the questions it asks at the start caught my attention. It never let go. After a refreshing analysis of fitness culture, it soon breaks into how to overcome the barriers we face, not by exercising better willpower, but by building a fitness routine based on something really personal... how you actually want fitness to feel.

The adage is true, "Every Journey Starts with a Single Step", even if you're a professional explorer. Ray Zahab's transformation has included many, dodging rattle snakes and polar bears in the process. This ex-smoker has piled up over 15,000 KM of expeditions on foot in the most inhospitable corners of the planet; the Sahara, the South Pole, Death Valley, and Baffin Island (to name a few). But as he says he still "puts on his pants one leg at a time like everyone else". Tune in to hear about his evolution, one that Ray says "has no finish lines".
