    Making a fitness plan for life

    @wolfwhohowlstoparadise Thanks, and so true, there's so much about life that's out of our control. I have a sweet friend who, at 16, was in a car crash and had her arm severed. You just never know what will happen, what's important is the will to adapt and come back from it.

And I've been talking with my husband about putting small rings in a doorway in the basement so we can do resistance work. I'm doing about 120 minutes of cardio a...

    Making a fitness plan for life

    I just turned 40(f) and I'm trying to create a realistic fitness plan that can last me into my 80s. Something that will have major positive support as I age and but that I can return to fairly quickly if I'm injured or ill. I wonder if any of you all have something similar and if there's...
