The Holiday season has kicked off and the New Year is right around the corner. Gyms across America will begin slowly filling up as we work off our Holiday indulgences and begin our new year’s resolutions. But why not work on your mind as well as your body while you toil away on the elliptical?
Podcasts are a great way to double up the motivational power of working out and get your mind in shape at the same time as your body. And TED Talks are my go-to podcast to play while getting my sweat on.
