Hey! Welcome to the first post of 2021! I am so glad that we made it out of the-year-that-shall-not-be-mentioned. Personally, I try not to set New Year’s resolutions because I never keep them. Instead, I set goals throughout the year and work to incorporate them into my routine. That is how I became a semi-consistent exerciser last year. This year …
