Each year, Earth Day — April 22 — marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
Not only is it the largest civic event in the world, celebrated around the globe by a billion people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities, but Earth Day is also an opportunity to spend some time outside, celebrating the great outdoors.
It’s also why I’m challenging you to do two things today in honor of Mother Earth:
- Get off your computer/phone/iPad and do something nice for the environment, whether that’s picking up trash, teaching your child about Earth Day, taking your recycling in, planting a garden, installing solar panels on your roof or sending a letter to your elected representatives.
- Get off your butt, and do something outside to celebrate! Of course, my suggestion is exercise-related, which is why I created the body-weight workout below to be completed in your local park. So why not grab the family, talk about the importance of ecology and break a sweat together?
How are you celebrating Earth Day this year?
Thanks for reminding me this is earth day!! I’m celebrating by working outside planting away and then having a gluten, dairy and wheat free lunch……then having a glass of wine and looking at the beautiful “green” around me!

Red wine + admiring all the green around you = sounds like a perfect way to celebrate. Enjoy!!
