In Dimensions of Wellness, General Fitness  •  by Melissa, October 13, 2020  •

All Exercise is Medicine

Re-Evaluating Goals

In General Fitness, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, March 3, 2020  •  
There is something about a new year and a fresh start (especially this year with a fresh decade) that encourages us to set goals to be the best versions of ourselves. There is also something about trying to put those lofty expectations into practice that...

Training to Change Body Shape

In Body Positivity, General Fitness  •  by Melissa, February 18, 2020  •  
For years people have used exercise as a means to change (or control) their body’s size. I’ve done it and I can make arguments both for and against. I’m not sure if I would call what I see happening now a new phenomenon, or just...
