Spotting the window kitties and window plants - I’m not the only one who sees this as a benefit of walking/biking!

Yesterday I posted "the 25 micro-habits of high impact managers" that often go unnoticed, but can make a massive difference to the health/performance of a team, by @firstround https://t.co/cwU1rBgP0V. @tnvora did a brilliant job turning it into a sketchnote #AYearofTweets2021

We are recruiting adults living in large bodies for research about physical activity promotion and weight bias. Please RT and share with anyone who might be interested!

Our lab’s open letter to parents: How the draft K-6 PhysEd&Wellness curriculum risks:
⬆️preoccupation on body weight & shape (risk factor for obesity & eating disorders)
⬆️weight-based bullying
⬆️binary & externally measured def of health, rather than an embodied experience

“This curriculum does not align with any of the latest research about how to address physical, mental, social, or emotional health issues related to obesity or eating disorders." Body Image Lab letter to Alberta parents. Read the letter: https://t.co/yRF9Yb1YiL #abed #curriculum

"It's deceptive because at first glance it seems like maybe it seems reasonable. But when you look at it further, there are a number of concerns." @UCalgaryEduc’s Shelly Russell-Mayhew raises red flag over health and wellness curriculum. https://t.co/eF1PhZ2L5u #abed #curriculum

"#Exercise bloggers offer dubious advice, study suggests" https://t.co/lcraeyN1dx via @UAlberta Great work by @ChoicesAddUp @MyreMaxine @trsulzberry

Be careful about "undertaking some of the exercises prescribed on the blogs—especially if they sensationalize results."

Everyone, at every weight, should try to live their healthiest enjoyable lives. Fitness vs fatness stories present unhelpful false dichotomy
