The 2 ways exercise makes weight loss not just possible, but permanent (and it’s not what you think!)

All the popular weight loss apps have an exercise component that will “credit” your workout and magically award you more calories to […]

(Besides, it’s my blog, so I win.) No, I’m teasing (mostly). But seriously, balance is a very important part of functional movement, especially as […]
