When it comes to exercise we all want a quick fix and to snap our fingers and see results, but results take time. Exercise is not just about lifting weights or heading to the gym and running on a treadmill. Exercise is a science and core strength is at the center of it all. When we base our strength at our core we are protecting ourselves. The core is made up of several different muscle groups and those lovely rippling abdominal muscles you see are the last ones that should be worked. So which ones should we be working first? …

Sleep, How Much or How Little?

December 21, 2022 / By / All Posts, Wellness

The truth is there is no exact science to say exactly how much or how little sleep we should be getting. There is a recommended 8 hours, but that differs up or down depending on age, and is really just a recommended median in a window of time rather than an exact number. It is often hard once we lay our heads on the pillow to wind down and to enter into the first stages of sleep.
