Martha's Health and Wellness Journey

Take a listen below:

WP: All right, good morning Martha. What initiated your health and wellness journey?

Martha: Truthfully, when I was 39, my best friend said, "If you don't get fit by 40, you will never get fit." So for my birthday that year, she gifted me a year of a personal trainer. I’ve been training since then, and it’s been transformative.

The Impact of Training on Life Goals

Changing Long-Term Goals
