Does movement require special exercise equipment? It doesn’t. In fact, you likely have everything you already need to get started. Exercise equipment is great, but it’s usually not a requirement.

Most importantly, exercise equipment likely sends us a signal to exercise. When…
I love movement and I love celebrating, thus I always strive to create movement-rich celebrations. For years, I’ve done a movement advent calendar at the end of the year as a thank you to my readers, and as a way of inspiring people to move more in their daily lives.
