Active Nation Day

This Sunday is Active Nation Day, a day dedicated to improve women’s physical and mental health and to create a more active world. It is the initiative of the leading active wear brand, Lorna Jane, and although it was celebrated for the past two years, Sunday marks the global debut. Now women all around the world are being urged to join in on the universal celebration of active living!

Founder of Lorna Jane, Lorna Jane Clarkson, is thrilled to share Active Nation Day with a global audience.

“Active Nation Day is about putting your health first and acknowledging the importance of moving your body, nourishing your body and believing in yourself,” says Clarkson.

“We’re thrilled to have such amazing hosts supporting Active Nation Day that are great examples of women that are proud to prioritize their health and fitness.”

Lorna Jane will be hosting events all over the map, creating opportunities for women to participate in specially choreographed fitness routines. Participants will enjoy a 45-minute MOVE class, which will be a fusion of aerobics, body strength, and yoga elements. In select locations, the “Move Nourish Believe” Market will follow where women can nourish their body with healthy treats and stay hydrated with coconut water and yummy nut milks. They can also touch up post-workout with organic products at a DIY Beauty Bar.

Just follow these 4 simple steps and become part of the global movement to create a more active future.
