Sneaker Hierarchy

In Exercise  •  by Melissa, July 14, 2020  •  
Hello Wellness Warriors! I’ve got a bit of lighthearted fun coming your way today. I don’t talk much about specialized workout equipment around here because I believe you truly don’t need much to get a useful workout. Sneakers, though, are a non-negotiable. Unless, of course,...

Should I Try Workout X?

In General Fitness, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, June 16, 2020  •

Modifying Eagle Pose

In Yoga  •  by Melissa, April 21, 2020  •

In Cardio, Strength Training  •  by Melissa, March 24, 2020  •  
I hope that everyone out there in internetland is doing well and has found some sort of new, albeit very weird, normal. Most other wellness and fitness gurus are jumping in to provide templates for meal planning and prepping or at home workouts under shelter...
