High Flying with a Pocket Disc

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Reviews

Special thanks to Pocket Disc for providing a sample of their sport pocket disc for us to test out in our home. All opinions are our own based upon our personal experiences with the product.

Fitness Friday: Yoga and Fitness Bands

The yoga helped keep the tension out of my muscles that tends to build up with headaches and having to rest a lot. The fitness band work allowed me to get at least a little resistance exercise in without the physical activity associated with my…
