Maintain your athletic edge with these valuable tips:
Strike a Balance
Maintaining a wholesome balance between higher-impact activities such as running, weightlifting or basketball and lower-impact workouts like yoga, stretching or walking is vital to your success as an athletic adult; it’s important to allow the body to recover, so you stay injury-free.
