Developing Dysfunction Along with Fitness
After a fast start in January with resolutions, many people are trying to continue their fitness routines this month. Exercise can be a struggle, but it shouldn’t be painful.

Hi, my name is Lacie and I hate working out. I absolutely LOATHE it. It’s tedious and boring.
