Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care. We were so inspired by Scandinavian culture last week, we had to learn more about how they get outdoors in all kinds of weather without wimping out like we do. So, we talked to Leslie Axvig, co-founder and co-CEO of Aktiv Style, a Scandinavian-curated collection of activewear that's timeless, stylish, and functional for every adventure. Leslie's best quarantine recommendations are daily walks with her family and a standing Peloton date with her BFF. We talk about the Nordic lifestyle (two words: mitten dryers!!), how the right clothes make any weather bearable, her favorite Peloton rides, and more. And bonus!
