Post Quarantine Working Out
It is coming…I think! This has been an odd year to say the least. I think that in the next couple of weeks we may begin the process of getting back to normal or the “new normal” as they call it. How is this going to look? I think a majority of people that go […]

Luckily in a number of cases you actually have time to reverse the effects before it becomes permanent.
