During this new, self-directed, fun and engaging fitness challenge you will learn how to improve your balance and tone your body for better fitness and prevent injuries. We challenge you to try three balance and tone exercises (in any combination) every day for 10 days. Balance training strengthens the muscles that help keep you upright, including your legs and core. And earn cool prizes as well.

Are you experiencing muscle soreness or tenderness from everyday activities, work, or your exercise routine? Join Charlie Ross as he demonstrates how to reduce muscle tenderness, increase muscle recovery and improve overall mobility in just a few minutes a day using a "foam roller", "tune-up ball", or other household items such as a tennis or lacrosse ball. Available from August 1 to August 31, 2021.

Many of us let our health goals fall by the wayside in 2020, and for understandable reasons. One way people are making up for this by turning to wellness coaching. A good wellness coach helps you identify and address whatever may be holding you back. If there’s one thing we all learned during the pandemic, it’s that feeling alone and isolated can amplify almost any challenge. Coaching is available to MIIA members at no extra charge. Give it a try.
