I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
In the

Between classes and the
CanFitPro Fitness Conference , my body is finally saying, "enough" and I really do try to listen to and respect what the body wants.

Dominque suggests 10 simple concepts to help you ensure that you have the right fuel in your body to work and train at your best.
