The weather forecast is for blizzard conditions and severe cold in the southern hemisphere and heat wave conditions in the northern hemisphere.   The very strong temptation with weather extremes is that we put our health and fitness goals on hold, waiting for the “perfect” time.   I hear so many people saying “it’s too […]
