Why Moving Every Day is More Than Just a Workout (Tip 2 is ??)

Hey Trailblazers,

I this weeks edition finds you well!

I had a fantastic conversation with Russell Rogers on the latest episode of Blaze Your Own Trail.

Russell, the man behind Move Today 365, shared some incredible insights on the importance of making the choice to move every day.

It’s not just about hitting the gym or running marathons - it’s about finding joy in movement, whatever that looks like for you

Russell’s journey started in Modesto, California, where he grew up on a ranch.

He was always active, playing football and basketball with his neighbors until midnight.

This early love for movement shaped his life, from his days as a youth pastor taking trips to Mexico, to his landscaping business, and now his movement initiative.

He shared how these experiences taught him the value of staying active and connecting with others through shared activities.

One of the standout moments from our chat was when Russell talked about starting his movement walks.

What began as a simple idea for a community walk along West Cliff turned into a monthly event that attracts dozens of people.

It’s not just the physical activity that matters – it’s the sense of community and accountability that keeps people coming back.

What really struck me was Russell’s emphasis on the simplicity of movement.

You don’t need fancy equipment or a gym membership.

Whether it’s breakdancing in your garage, playing cornhole, or just walking in your neighborhood, the key is consistency.

As Russell said, “We have a choice every single day of what we’re going to do with our day"

If you’re struggling to stay active here are some tips Russell suggests:

• Find something you enjoy and make it a part of your routine.
• And don’t be afraid to fall off the horse – the most important thing is to get back up and keep moving.
• Having an accountability partner or community, like the one Russell has built with Move Today 365, can make a huge difference.

Russell’s story is a reminder that movement is more than just physical exercise.

It’s a path to a healthier, happier life.

So, let's take a page from his book and make the choice to move every day!

Whether it’s a walk, a dance, or a game, let’s get out there and enjoy the simple pleasure of being active.
