by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
Most Americans eat three meals per day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, interspersed with small snacks.

About Me View My Posts
I removed the term workout from my vocabulary early in my career as a personal trainer. We work all day. Who needs to work more? I favor using the word movement because in terms of maintaining or improving health and wellness, movement is essential while exercise is optional. Most adults find physical activity unappealing.
