Hello Mermaid Athletes!
Three cheers for daylight savings. Yes, it's that time of the year when the air feels a little warmer, the sun stays out later and even the birds chirp a little louder. Put a little spring into your step and get moving with the Mermaid.

LISTENING TO YOU: HEART, MIND AND BODY - TEAM MERMAID COACH HEIDI
It's easy, in our fast pace world where we each wear a dozen different hats on any given day to get distracted and not listen to what is really going on with our body. Letting those distractions stay in the fore front makes it difficult to accomplish our exercise and fitness goals. How do we quiet the distractions? <more>
