How many of us feel that we have to be all things, to all people? Well, I would like to say that I was firmly placed in the front of the line on this topic. I would just about wind myself into a tight little ball so that I could do it all, be it […]

As a Former Cardio Queen and over zealous group exercise class participant, I feel it necessary to retire my crown and share my research of what DOES and what does NOT work without muscle recovery and too much stress on the body.

I’ve had a major lifestyle change recently, and not one I chose!
