YOUR HEALTH I’ve been teaching fitness classes for about 25 years now, and I always remind folks that a healthy lifestyle isn’t just to look and feel good.

The Will to Work
Across the country, businesses are struggling to get people back to work. The will to work is weak! It can’t be taught in schools, and it most certainly can’t be trained on the job. No, the will to work is born in us and fostered by our parents. We are paying the price for a […]
