In the article entitled, “Moving Through Winter,” Mike discussed how to stay motivated to workout in the winter and how to focus on mobility to prevent injury. Mike stated, “The way to reduce injury risk and improve health for our muscles, joints, nervous system, and everything else is to create resiliency in the body.
