Let&#8217;s face it—most of us will never break world records, but what I know is that we are all capable of improving and transforming ourselves.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a question guaranteed to make your stomach lurch: &#8220;Would you mind if I gave you some feedback?&#8221;
What that actually means is &#8220;Would you mind if I gave you some negative feedback, wrapped in the guise of constructive criticism, whether you want it or not?&#8221;
Criticism implies judgment and we all recoil from feeling judged.

		<description><![CDATA[Have we always walked and run the way we do now?
One foot in front of the other. Unconscious, and unrecognisably blind.
And then again. And again. Until those few steps become a habitual march to somewhere you never set out to be.
It&#8217;s very easy to believe that the world we live in has always been this [...]]]></description>

Physical exercise is any physical activity that makes your body use more energy than it would normally, makes you breathe a bit harder and makes your heart beat faster. Anything physical can be exercise – for example, a short walk or bike ride, climbing a [...]]]></description>

Posture is not a position but a way of responding to the challenges of everyday life.
