Conquering the Mountain
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe mountain in this instance is health and fitness and not the gargantuan Hafþór JúlÃus “Thor” Björnsson from Game of Thrones.

Exercise and Health

Movement Matters
Reading Time: 3 minutesA few months ago a good friend of of mine died. James had Motor Neurone Disease (MND), a severely life-shortening condition that progressively damages parts of the nervous system.
