Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
Hello out there!
It’s been a while since we last posted a blog here. This summer ended up being a really busy time for me and Rob. Rob has an exciting event coming up this weekend that he’s been working really hard at (more on that in a bit). Speaking for myself, I’ve been busy with a few things, including finishing up my articling term to hopefully become a lawyer very soon. Oh, and the other thing Rob and I have been working on all summer? That’s right, NP SUMMIT 13!!!
I’ve lived in Edmonton my whole life and after coming to NP Monday workouts for a few years, I honestly thought I’d seen most of the interesting places in our beautiful city. However, I was introduced to a whole new spot at our workout yesterday. Of course, the Muttart Conservatory isn’t new – we’ve worked out there multiple times before. However, I had no idea you could go on the roof, and what kind of views you can get there. Thanks to Kristina for suggesting it for our group photo! There’s something about exploring somewhere new that is so exciting. Also though, it’s an absolutely stunning view of the skyline, river valley and pyramids. I think this is now one of the greatest group photo locations I’ve been to. We’ll definitely be back!
Howdy! In case you’ve missed our Instagram post, here’s some very important info about the upcoming Old 96er Days this summer!
July 3. September 4. Which challenge will you choose?
Lift each other up,

Announcements
It’s almost time for the hardest workout in all of November Project: the Old 96er.
The Old 96er is a special workout we hold twice per year at Commonwealth Stadium. On these days, we open the stadium up a half hour early, and you have 59 minutes to complete two laps of the stadium stairs (or as much of it as you can). Of course, we’ll also have our typical 6am workout happening concurrently if you want to just do 30 minutes. And if you want to come just to cheer, that’s totally welcome too!
If today was your first time joining a NP workout, welcome! I hope you had the best morning! I know joining a new group for the first time can be intimidating and uncomfortable so I want to thank and congratulate you for coming out.
I thought I’d use the blog today to share a few facts about November Project with all the newbies and let you know who we are and what we’re about. So here you go:
Just like the McRib, Newbie Day is BACK!
You may remember this initiative from the past. I’m not sure the last time we did it, or how many times it’s happened, but I know it’s been done. The idea is simple, and it involves your participation: on June 5 bring a friend (or 2, or 3, or 10)!
Howdy! This brief blog comes to you during the intermission of the Oilers’ game. I’ve got about 17 mins until the third period starts to write it and get it posted, so here we go!
Today, I’m going to focus on our announcements (see bottom of the blog). There’s lots of good stuff coming up this week!
I think most people would know what I mean if I told you to meet at the blue sculpture/water-feature on the Victoria Promenade. As long as I can remember, this artwork has existed at the top of Victoria Hill, on the east end of the Victoria Promenade. It’s a pretty significant landmark, but I’ve never known much about it. Turns out, there’s not a lot out there online about it either. I did a quick Google search, and didn’t find come up with much, except that it’s called “The Oliver Convergence” by Tony Bloom.
Howdy! I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, so here’s a little update about me. It’s been a busy time – I started a new job as an articling student at a law firm last week. I have four months of articling (articling is like a practicum to become a lawyer) and then I get “called to the bar” (i.e. become a lawyer). After the four months, I’ll be back to my regular job at Stantec. I’m excited about this fun new adventure for the summer!
Well, this was the last Monday in April, which means the inaugural Mural Month has come to a close. I don’t know about you, but I think Mural Month was really fun. We learned some things and visited some brand new locations, including a couple back alleys that I could never have imagined we’d ever host a workout. Today, we even had a special guest – the artist herself! (Thanks for coming out Ashley!)
