Today and Everyday
Whether you have a complete detailed list of goals for 2021 or you have just a general intention to be a healthier version of you, the struggle to stay on track is real. Statistics show that 70% of the population will give up on their health resolution by the end of January. You don’t need to be part […]
I bet if I took a poll of our 2021 New Year’s resolutions, our ratios would look similar to this chart compiled by Statista. The top two resolutions are usually tied to a weight loss goal. But being healthy is about more than losing weight. It is about feeling and looking healthy. We are less […]
It’s December 30th and you are probably thinking about setting a resolution or two for 2021. Did you know though, that only 8% of people actually achieve their resolutions? You know why?

Our bodies are not designed to sit so extended sitting can cause back pain, headaches, tension, and tightness in your back, hips, neck, and shoulders. Getting up every […]
