In lieu of a full, planned-out episode this week, I bring you… this. It’s something a bit different, but it comes from the heart, just like any other episode of Lift The Rainbow. I’ll be back to you next week with an episode that’s actually about fitness, etc!

In this episode, Maggy talks about that first scary move from 0 to 1, how we can make it less scary and more doable. Follow @UnderdogHealth on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and get in touch with questions or stories of how YOU moved from 0 to 1 and what helped you.
