I tend to have a love hate relationship with foam rolling. You may hate it when going through the movements but I promise your body will thank you.

Why the First 10 Minutes Might Be the Most Important Part of Your Day

September feels like it’s time to get a little bit serious again: putting away the beach reads in favor of that new memoir we’ve been meaning to read or trying out the podcast that’s finally going to help us start meditating.
