Lorna Jane wants you to join Active Nation Day!

We have good news for you fab fitness fanatics… it’s nearly Active Nation Day! It’s time to celebrate all things sport and get moving, with help from our friends at Lorna Jane Active Living.

Active Nation Day is an initiative created by Lorna Jane Clarkson, founder and chief creative officer of Lorna Jane Active Living. The movement was born in 2012 from a wish to inspire women to become more active. Since then, Active Nation Day has exploded, gaining thousands of passionate followers, all dedicated to a healthy, active lifestyle. And it’s only going to get bigger. This year, Lorna Jane is hosting a variety of activities and classes across the globe to encourage us to join in and get active. Loads of fun, free events like Bootcamps, hockey sessions, yoga and much more will be taking place all over the world on the 27^th September.

London’s very own Active Nation Day UK event will take place in Saint James’ Square Gardens. This is a fantastic, free workout run by gorgeous Lorna Jane ambassadors, Carly Newson, Twice the Health, Adrienne Herbert and Jemma McKenzie-Brown. Prepare for an exciting fusion of cardio, strength and stretch movements that promises to get you moving. Carly tells us more about what to expect on the day: ‘Myself and the girls will be holding a 45 minute fusion class, followed by post workout refreshments. As the day is dedicated to ‘active living’ we hope to get the LJ sisterhood moving, feeling great and ready to sweat!’ Twice the Health adds: ‘This will be followed by an abundance of nourishing sweet treats and selfies.’ Sounds good to us! There’s also the option of creating an event in your area to get even more people involved in the day.

It couldn’t be easier to get involved. All you have to do is take a snap of yourself with your #activenationdaypromise (what you promise to do on Active Nation Day) and share it on social media. You can then download the Lorna Jane app to register for an event, or to create your own, and track your contribution to the movement. Don’t forget to share the pics of your awesome, active day on social media too, with the hashtags #activenationday and #lornajane.

Lorna’s philosophy on fitness, Move Nourish Believe, inspires not only Active Nation Day, but also her world-renowned activewear brand. Lorna Jane activewear has been providing women with fabulous, flattering fitwear for over 26 years. Since starting the business by hand-crafting workout wear while working as a fitness instructor, Clarkson’s brand has rocketed. There are now over 190 stores worldwide, filled with Lorna Jane’s standout designs. ‘Our vision extends beyond the product,’ Lorna states. ‘We don’t just sell activewear, we sell an active way of life. Our garments encourage women to achieve their best through active living and ultimately reach their full potential.’

It’s in this spirit that we’re embracing Active Nation Day, and we think you should too! Let’s have some fun with our fitness this month and all get active together. As LJ ambassador Adrienne puts it: ‘We want to see you move, jump, sweat and smile!’
