With the minimalist movement at an all time high, I figured we’d discuss how to apply minimalist-based principles to fitness and nutrition.

When you work a day job, have a lot of household chores, and still want to clock in enough hours for a good night’s sleep, there’s barely enough time to squeeze in that ashtanga or vinyasa class at your nearest studio. In fact, sometimes you’re just too tired for that full-body, dynamic yoga workout that…

There will come a point in your life where your typical morning run or late-night exercise will get boring and you’ll get worn out eventually.
