Due to my constant stomach issues, we have always saved money to take a cab to … Continue reading Fitness Checkup Day 66: Visiting My Dad
Today after taking a week off from doing DDPY Bedflex, I dove back in followed by the physical therapy stretches to offset any tightness in my pelvic floor muscles.
