My Path to Wellness
Regular movement and exercise are important to keep your immune system functioning optimally. Your workout intensity should mirror your stress level. If stress is high, lower the intensity of your workouts. If stress is low, feel free to increase the intensity of your workouts. The correct dose of exercise can keep your immune system functioning well. Often times, less is more.
