8 Running Shoes For People Who Over Pronate

March 15, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

March 12, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

Get out there and move your body! We are meant to move and we are meant to move daily. Exercise is important for strength, posture, balance, coordination, joint mobility and so much more.

We tend to be time starved in today’s world. Most people spend their time on what’s most important to them when it comes to getting in fitness.

Flexibility is hard to come by and something you have to work at equally as hard as you would strength training or cardio training.
