Words and motion are intertwined in my mind. I was a writer first and a “worker outer” second. I literally went to college to be a political journalist, but exercise science called more loudly to my soul.

When dealing with a Diastasis Recti, making progress can be challenging. How do we know when to move forward in our workouts or perhaps step back and return to the basics?

Gaynor’s original [...]

Life isn’t easy, and it’s okay to talk about the hard times.
