Summary: As we continue on our quest to find the best goals that are right for us, we touch on one of my favorite topics: body type! We are all made to physically excel at something, the problem is we are too busy comparing our weaknesses to others' strengths. We need to find what our strengths are based on our natural capabilities and the tools we have within our own bodies. In this week’s Made Fit TV episode, I bring you the second in a five-part series of steps on “How to Achieve the Right Goals for You.” If you haven't checked it out already, watch episode 112, the first in this series. Be sure to check out the notes below for reference on muscle and body types for extra perspective!
