We all know smart, disciplined people who abuse their bodies and are neither dumb or lazy. Oftentimes they don’t recognize the importance of being robust and energetic especially as you age. Or they don’t know where to start and if there’s one thing the quarantine has taught us is that your health matters, so what are you waiting for?
