Join BrainTONIC™ Summer
BrainTONIC™ Summer is a free 1M Step Challenge and summer movement designed to help you recharge your brain, body and life!
Go for 1 million steps this summer, or choose your own movement goal.
We are not competing or striving for perfection.
It’s about creating an active, uplifting summer where movement becomes part of your everyday life, your memories, your conversations, your creativity and your sense of aliveness!
Take a break from the tech-heavy environment.
Put your human brain first again.
Let’s create momentum together, one movement moment at a time.

Why movement?
In the AI Age, your human superpower is still your brainpower.
And one of the fastest ways to shift your brain state is to MOVE your body.
Movement can help you feel clearer, calmer, more energised, more creative and more connected.
This is not anti-tech.
It’s pro-human.
Technology was created to serve humanity, not the other way around.
BrainTONIC™ Summer is your reminder to put your human brain first again.
Move your body.
Recharge your brain.
Feel fully alive again!
BrainTONIC™ Summer Kickoff Party
We’ll officially kick off BrainTONIC™ Summer with a live pop-up party in the week commencing 22 June.
This is your chance to choose your summer movement goal, charge your Brain Battery, and start creating momentum for the second half of the year.
Come as you are.
Move how you can.
Dance, walk, stretch, sway, roll, smile, breathe or simply take one step out of your everyday environment.
This is about creating energy, momentum, and aliveness together!
You’ll receive the details by email when you sign up.
After the kickoff, you’ll also be invited to join:

The 1M Step Story
I first started doing the 1M Step Challenge years ago with my son.
Over the years, we took steps in London, Paris, New York, Copenhagen, Tokyo, San Francisco, the Algarve, Euro Disney, Doha, Dubai, Bangkok, Mexico, Japan, Chichén Itzá, Greece, Phuket, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Greenland, Morocco and many more places.
It was never really about the number of steps we took...
It was about movement.
About the memories.
About the connection.
About feeling more energised.
About getting unstuck.
About feeling alive again!
On 31 December 2019, I went for a run in Copenhagen, and that one run became the start of a life-changing year that transformed every area of my life.
It started with taking that one step. And then keep going.
Incremental becomes monumental.
And I am now doing it again!
This time in public.
More recently, after retinal detachment surgery, walking was one of the only things I could still do. I wasn’t allowed to move my head much. But I could walk.
So I started walking, head still, slowly, one step at a time.
Share your movement moments

Where are your steps taking you today?
Your street
Your park
Your garden
Your kitchen dance floor
Your football pitch
Your wheelchair route
Your tennis court
Your home
Your holiday walk
Your city
Your school run
Your lunch break
Your life!
Every step and every movement moment counts. And then, incremental becomes monumental.
