I love baths, especially ones containing about 4-6 cups of epsom salts. I also enjoy stretching. Many moons ago, I figured out that I could fit quite a few stretches into bathtubs big and small.

A long time ago, in a poorly-lit room far away, with a cheap microphone we could barely afford, we filmed the first version of this routine. The audio was scratchy. My hair was long.

One of my favorite ways to get a quick, challenging workout β thatβs also easily scalable if Iβm low on energy β is to set up a home circuit. I put various props around my house and go through them two times, doing anywhere from 5 β 20 reps of each activity. This workout will […]
Bracing a broken bone doesnβt have to be a bummer. Using a therapeutic splint to support your core while your diastasis recti heals neednβt keep you from connecting to other body parts.

Your quadriceps are crucial to almost every motion your legs make.
