It seems that everybody is always looking for fitness tips, tricks and advice. I know how hard it can be to figure out where to start or what you should do. You may get overwhelmed with information and feel frustrated. Those negative feelings associated with fitness and wellness turn you away from it. Why would you want to bother with something that creates those feelings? This is where I come in! I will be periodically providing you with helpful information that will cut out time wasted on sifting through articles, websites and magazines. Here are 40 tactics to getting healthier and living a better life!
