Introducing BusyLizzy...
A "busy life" is the norm these days for most people, and Elizabeth Glenday (known to her friends as Liz) is no exception. She enjoys parallel careers as a Creative Professional and a Fitness Professional.
As a Creative Professional, Elizabeth designs, presents, creates and teaches through her company BusyLizzy Boutique. Keeping in mind what's eco-kind, her work often features re-purposed and re-claimed materials as well as items that support a greener lifestyle. Mixed fibre creations, whether knitted, crocheted, knotted or sewn inspire her designs and teaching. She teaches classes and hosts workshops in crochet, knitting and T-shirt upcycling. Liz frequently steps out of the fibre arts zone – she has presented and demonstrated a variety of products and crafting techniques at Scrapfest, Cropfest, CreativFest, Craft and Hobby Association events, and The Shopping Channel. When she is not creating “eco-friendly and active-living themed modern crochet designs for people-on-the-go” she is busy with her parallel career as a certified fitness leader.
As a Fitness Professional, Elizabeth operates BusyLizzy Fitness. She has been a certified fitness leader for over 30 years and teaches privately and on a contractual and freelance basis in and around her home town and online. She is certified through the Fitness Professionals Association of Ontario and Ontario Fitness Council (FPAO-OFC) as a Registered Health and Exercise Professional and Trainer of Fitness Leaders (RHEP-TFL). She maintains professional certificates in Yoga, Pilates, and Group Exercise (OFC) and has undertaken specialized training in Fitness for Children and Youth, Fitness for Older Adults, athletic training (Twist Conditioning), indoor cycling (Schwinn), stability ball (Resist-a-Ball, I & II), step (Reebok, Reebok ‘Deck’), Tai Chi (MFC), Zumba® and Zumba® Toning. Liz has explored many modes of movement over the decades. Through her childhood and early teen years, she was a gymnast and coach. As an adult she has taken classes in dance (Celtic, Tap, Belly Dance, Line Dance) and martial arts (Tai chi, Capoeira, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Kung Fu). She earned her Shodan (first degree) Black Belt in Karate in 2017. Liz believes that all forms of movement are to be celebrated and enjoyed, and therefore, integrates aspects and principles of these diverse physical experiences into her classes to keep things fresh and interesting for her students.
Enjoying all life has to offer requires a balance of healthy eating, physical activity and quality time with loved ones. Family time with her husband and as often as possible with their two adult children includes family game nights, cross country skiing, camping and going to theatre and concerts. Making a living is essential, of course, and giving back a little something along the way is important too. BusyLizzy Enterprises, which combines both her professional careers, was born from a desire to combine all of those things!
