Physical Wellness & Fitness

Cardio used to intimidate me. My first time at the gym, I was surrounded by treadmills, fitness fanatics, and timers ticking down like a scene from a game show. I remember thinking, “How is everyone sprinting and smiling?” I was winded after five minutes. But over time, I realized cardio wasn’t just about pushing limits or burning calories—it was about energy. Not the hypey, five-minutes-of-glory kind, but the kind of steady, sustainable energy that makes real life feel lighter.
