Fitness Tip:
Good Squats Require Good Form
Squats are crucial for power, but improper form could do more harm than good. Chest up, slide your hips back and push through your heels.
Well-Being Corner
Growth Mindset: “The belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way everyone can change and grow through application and experience.” – Carol Dweck
