Weekend Warrior ~ Labor Day Weekend!

                                                                    Hello Weekend!

We hope you are all enjoying the long weekend and doing something special for yourself, family and friends. With some of the extra time off you get, see if you can extend some of the fun activities you have planned. If you are going for a hike -can you make it an hour or so longer? If you have the time, why not use it to help your body, mind and soul. We encourage everyone to stay active all weekend but also take some time to rest and restore the body and mind so you can start next week fresh and ready to go!

Here are some articles to read during your down time:
