Hey, it’s Amy Newmark and today I want to share a couple of stories that may help you get your mind into getting back outdoors to get some exercise. It is summer after all, and there’s nothing like exercising outdoors – being able to move so freely versus working out in a gym or inside your home where it just feels different.

And I realized he was right. You do move your whole body more freely when you walk or run or do sports outdoors. You feel like you’re able to occupy more space. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you during this Father’s Day week. With Father’s Day approaching, many of us are thinking about how we can show our dads we appreciate them, and we may also be thinking about the way they show us that they love us, which can be a little understated at times.
