Welcome to June; and happy birthday to the multi-tasking, joke-cracking Geminis! There is a lot going on in the sky this month, which always has an impact on our perspective and perception since we are created from the same stuff that the planets are.

Starting a workout program can be challenging. Making the time to exercise, creating a balanced routine, and setting goals are hard enough, but add to that the muscle soreness that comes with adapting to that regimen, and it may be difficult to stay on track.

Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the core muscles of the body while improving flexibility and balance.

Physical activity is essential for healthy living. But you don’t have to run marathons or do other high-intensity activities to stay healthy.

Stretching is one of the best ways to keep your muscles healthy. Stretching regularly will help maintain your muscle strength and increase your flexibility. The more flexible you are, the better it is for your joints

There's something empowering about designing your own workout and knowing exactly why you're doing every single exercise.
