Road Trip à Montréal (from Ottawa)

Bon matin, YOWzers! In honour of la fête nationale, Saint-Jean-Baptiste day, nous avons préparé another exciting blog post avec la langue principale de la ville that hosted us ce matin : le franglais of course ! And félicitations à our very own AndréAndré for his retraite!! We hope you apprécié your retirement BOOM ce matin (photo evidence up top). read more

Just a Little Bit (Ottawa)

Goodest of mornings to you, YOWzers. Thank you for sharing your morning with us and thank you for doing just “a little bit” of a burnout, too. For those who were not on screen this morning, feel free to check out the song Just a Little Bit by Julian Taylor Band. As you listen, it might be fun to hold a plank. And whenever you hear the words “just a little bit”, it might be fun to do a burpee. Just a friendly PSA if you are looking for fun things. read more

A Canine Contribution (Ottawa)

To my dearest NP humans
I am very pleased to say
I’ve been asked to write a guest blog
And share it with you today

(In case you aren’t too sure
About that silly picture up there
It’s because we climbed a pyramid
So sliding down it seemed only fair)

Before going any further
I suppose I should come clean
This is Alfie the Goodest Boy
(the most handsome one you’ve seen) read more

215 (Ottawa)

Hey there, Ottawa. So glad that you were able to join us this morning, or get some extra sleep this morning, or skip the workout and tune in for coffee this morning. Either way, we’re just glad to be included in any part of your morning. Thank you to Dean for another fun and creative playlist to make beach day more enjoyable! In case you’re wondering, those lovely faces up there are actually the faces of people who are either enjoying a sunny beach day… or getting chased by a shark. Beaches can be so unpredictable. read more

Branching Out (Ottawa)

Good morning YOWzers! Or good afternoon. No idea when you’re reading this. A few thank yous to give out this morning: thank you NP Oakland for helping us plant a whole bunch of funny looking trees in the Ottawa-Gatineau region this morning (and even one in Nova Scotia!). Thank you Dean for a super fun playlist to get us moving and swaying in the breeze. Thank YOU for uprooting yourselves and showing up… together we make a pretty good forest. read more

Blog Titles for $200 (What is Ottawa?)

Good morning, YOWzers! And good morning to all of our readers, near and far. Presumably mostly near, although we do know of at least one weekly reader way out in Edmonton. This weekly reader may or may not be related to the weekly writer, but that hardly seems relevant (hey lil bro, you all good?).  read more

Birthday Presence (Ottawa)

Good morning fellow YOWzers, world-wide readers, and mom (she said she’d read this one). Thank you for joining us on this beautiful birthday morning to celebrate November Project Ottawa’s 4th birthday! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking when you invite a bunch of people to your birthday party and nobody RSVPs, so we were particularly glad to see your smiling faces today. Plus, there would be no birthday to celebrate without you, so we were kind of counting on all of you to, you know, just show up. read more

NP Strikes Back (Ottawa)

Good morning, NP Jedis. After this morning’s workout, Phase I of your training is now complete. But before you start ordering your light sabres, there is an important educational component that follows Phase I. You might call it Phase II.

Phase II consists of effectively useless information and fun facts about Star Wars! read more

Morning Motivators (NP Ottawa)

In honour of this morning’s pillow-based workout, a brand new study has been published (despite what you see in the picture above, we did actually do some exercise). Read on for the groundbreaking findings!

Introduction:
While literature has explored the science of sleep for several decades, there are limited studies exploring the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators that contribute to the ease with which an individual drags themselves out of bed. Our study aimed to answer the age old question, “What gets you out of bed in the morning?”  read more

The Power of Imperfection (Ottawa)

Good morning fellow YOWzers. Thank you for sharing your morning with us on this beautiful spri- oh wait, it’s snowing.

Take two. Good morning YOWzers! Thank you for sharing your morning with us on this beautiful fourth winter day. For our international readers who may be unfamiliar with this season, fourth winter comes about once you’ve finally put your winter coat away, swapped out winter boots for sandals, and gotten your winter tires off your car. It typically lasts until you have caved and dug out your winter clothes again, at which point the temperature will promptly rise by approximately 20 degrees. read more
