Anatomy Moment: Good glutes!
Happy New Year! I may be a little late, but it’s still the start of 2018, and a time of year that many people make body-related resolutions.

First, as a grammar nerd, I’d like to apologize for this post’s title. Pilates is not a verb – it is a noun referring to the system of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates.
