In today’s world of health, fitness and exercise, one of the most trendy words is “functional.” What is functional exercise/fitness?

Posted by Kyle Knapp in Fitness, Health & Wellness, Minimalist, Move Naturally on May 11, 2013
Like most thirty-something guys, Rocky is one of my favorite characters. Always overcoming odds and working hard, no matter the obstacles or challenge that lies ahead of him.
