But over time, I’ve realized something: being a fifth wheel isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s often the fifth wheel that makes the ride smoother, providing balance and stability. The same goes for those overlooked parts of your body—the pinkie finger and pinkie toe. These small, seemingly insignificant appendages may not get the attention they deserve, but they play an outsized role in your body’s health and performance. Let me show you how!

When you wake up first thing in the morning or before a workout after sitting at work all day, your muscles are stiff and cold, and to suddenly hold a stretch for a period of time can actually cause more harm than good.
Everyone has the same questions. How can I continue to be motivated to stay in shape and stay active with the gyms closed during this time? There are still many ways you can challenge yourself physically.
