Everyday life is full of small choices and opportunities to move more. Whenever possible I choose the stairs. It’s the healthier option and an easy way to add mini workouts into your daily routine. #GymOfLife

I wrote 👆about how Hillhurst Sunnyside is a #15MinNeighbourhood and while the streetscape is car focussed in 2022, it can provide you with the #GymOfLifehashtag/GymOfLife" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#GymOfLife if you let it.😉

Another Excellent video from @notjustbikes 👏

There are many reasons why having more active mobility is a good thing and the reasons explained in this video are at the top of my list!

What’s the best part about walking from Sunnyside to @Villageicecream in Bridgeland?
A. The great city views
B. Burning as many calories as you’ll eat
C. The Ice Cream

Three things Active Mobility Infrastructure can deliver for #Calgary are things everyone values:

1. #Freedom, especially for youth & their parents
2. #Health both physical and mental
3. #LowerCost mobility than cars

Some may argue, gaining those 16 min is exactly why they would drive given their busy day. I get that.
On the other hand, I was able to multitask by getting some fresh air and activity in my day which I wouldn’t have accomplished had I driven. https://youtu.be/KPUlgSRn6e0

So for an extra 4 min each way, 8 min total, I benefited by having 13+13=26 min of moderate activity and fresh air in my day. If I had biked for both drop off and pick up I’d have spent an extra 16 min travelling vs driving and had 52 min of activity.

So here’s what I did… I took 22 min total of what would be driving, added 10 min and in exchange was able to get 32 min of moderate exercise. #multitasking #GymOfLife

I had to run an errand and wanted some fresh air and exercise… so I rode my bicycle. 🐤🐤🥌
It’s called the gym of life.

It's not exercise, it's just how I get around town. #GymOfLife

I’m about 15 minutes in an all I can think about is I join the #gymoflife
