Redefining STRENGTH w/ Cori Lefkowith

Redefining STRENGTH w/ Cori Lefkowith
Q: How did the idea of Redefining Strength come about? Was it like an epiphany type thing?
It started not really ever envisioning what it would become. But I started writing a blog while I was working the front desk and teaching group fitness classes.
Redefining STRENGTH w/ Cori Lefkowith

Strive for M.O.R.E w/ Jan Raeder
