Safe and Sustainable Movement
If you experience chronic pain, fatigue or struggle with your mental or physical health, it can be difficult to add activity into your life. Pace and Progress works to find movements that are challenging without sending you into a flare, causing you pain, or leaving you feeling discouraged.
About Me
According to the Canadian Movement Guidelines, a person is supposed to try to get 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity, and at least two muscle strengthening activities using major muscles groups per week.
But these guidelines cannot tell you how to achieve these numbers if you have difficulties with mobility or barriers to different kinds of traditional exercise.
This is my older sister, a strong woman who suffers from fibromyalgia. She has tried traditional training and working out but always found herself pushing too hard and experiencing terrible flare-ups of chronic pain caused by her condition.
And she is the reason why I am so passionate about making movement accessible for everyone, making movement possible for everyone. The goal is to make movement guidelines look less daunting and more achievable, no matter what hand life has dealt you.
Movement that meets you where you are at.
