Active Nation Day is tomorrow and I’m really excited to have had the opportunity to interview Lorna Jane, an incredible woman who is so passionate and inspiring. Here’s what Lorna has to say:
 
 

Active Nation Day is coming up on September 29. Can you tell us about this initiative and what inspired you to start it?

Active Nation Day came about after we researched our nation’s fitness habits and found 54% of Australians do no form of regular exercise. Shocking right? Rather than accepting this alarming statistic, I decided to take matters into my own hands and get our country moving towards a more active way of life.
 
My mission is to inspire women of Australia to unite in support of Active Living. Rally your friends and family, get outdoors and let your actions speak louder than your words this Sunday.
 

How can people show their support and participate?

If ever there was a day to wake up with purpose â€" this Sunday is it! It’s so easy to be a part of the change. You can download the free Lorna Jane iPhone App and add your minutes to the movement. We’re also encouraging women to share their active journey on social media using the tags#activenationday, #nowmoveit and @lornajaneactive to inspire others to commit to an active life. 

 
I invite you to start Active Nation Day on the right foot with an event near you â€" visit www.nowmoveit.com to find out more.
 

How has the movement grown since you started it in 2012?

Our incredible sisterhood has already moved 3.5 million KM with the App â€" that’s the equivalent of running 85 thousand Olympic marathons! As a result, we’ve burned 181 million calories, slimming over 20 tonnes off the nation’s waistline.
 

What will you be doing on Active Nation Day this Sunday?

I love to keep in shape with regular strength training and this Active Nation Day we are hosting a Strength & Stretch class at Gasworks Plaza, home to our brand new Active Living Room concept store in Brisbane. For those who live in the area, come down to the Gasometer at Gasworks Plaza, Newstead from 10am and get moving with the Sporty Sisterhood.
 
Oh and I’m also hoping to fit in an afternoon walk with Roger â€" every move counts!
