New year, new season, new goals…Let’s Move!

The Oxford dictionary defines movement as “an act of changing physical location or position or of having this changed.” Your ability to achieve your goals depends on your well-being and wellness requires movement. So, to modify how you live and work, apply Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion which states – for every action there is a reaction. Life needs motion!
