So here I am.
I'm from Manitoba, I'm a 26 years old woman.
I'm not feeling clever today, so no quips are forthcoming, but hi anyway.
from a fellow Canadian. You have definitely come to the right place for lots of support as you travel down the long bumpy road to better fitness and health. Just spend a little time looking around and then jump right in wherever you feel so inclined. I know you will be welcomed with lots of big smiles wherever you wander.
