The Evolution of Fitness
If we’ve learned one thing in life it’s that change is constant and that we all need to change or evolve to adapt to changing times whether that be in your career, family life, political views, financial gains or losses, and how you take care of yourself as you move through the decades of life. The ways in which you take care of yourself now might be quite different than in previous decades so we want to showcase some of those past trends and offer you some modern workouts and insights from our authors.
