Our team members are constantly trying to learn more about exercise, nutrition, and wellness.
This blog engages our team members in their fitness and paddling journey and motivates them to live a healthy lifestyle. Contributions are from current and past Liquid paddlers.

Jack highlights the importance of consistency, and also explains the concept of progressive overload in this LL.
