Are you choosing the right exercise for your goal?

Just been to the gym and lifted weights for 30 minutes? Or perhaps running is your thing and you’re about to pound the pavement. Prefer to sweat in a crowd at your local zumba class or love the solitude of body strengthening pilates. Are you a sunrise yogi or a sun-down HIIT girl? Whatever you […]
