The past year has flown by like a whirlwind, especially on the CHEK Blog. Along the way, we’ve featured an array of topics offering tips and guidance to help you improve the quality of your health and your life, and pass that knowledge along to your clients.
The holiday season is a natural time to take a look back at the year that was and what we might’ve missed.
So, through the end of the year we will be featuring a series of posts highlighting some of our most popular blogs from the past 12 months in four specific categories: Exercise, nutrition, emotions and goals.
In part 1, we’re highlighting three articles in which Paul discusses some of the fine points of exercise, covering readiness, form and awareness of breathing.
