Think about how many hours that you've spent working at your job during your life. Now think about all of those hours being free...free to do whatever you want! That's how most people envision retirement. While these daydreams about endless hours of rest & relaxation can be enough motivation for us to put money into […]

The benefits of stretching have become fairly well-known in more recent years. There is a time period, however, when these benefits were not commonly known or talked about.
