Spring Into Motion: Preparing Your Body for Outdoor Activity
March is an exciting time in Kingston. The days are getting longer, the sun is showing up a little more often, and many of us start thinking about getting back outside. After a winter of icy sidewalks and cold temperatures, it feels good to imagine walking along the waterfront, cycling through the K&P Trail, or exploring local parks again.

Move With Heart: Everyday Habits to Boost Your Cardiovascular Health This Winter
February is Heart Month, and while this time of year often brings thoughts of red roses and chocolate, we like to focus on something just as important: your heart health.

Cold Weather, Stiff Joints: Managing Pain as Temperatures Drop
