Newbie but an Oldie
I'm entering my golden years and want to get healthy. I've lost 50 lbs. using a weight loss medication, but now I want to do it on my own… with the support of others. I have physical limitations, but hopefully, with the weight loss, I'll become more active.

Weight loss without, or with limited, physical activity.
Hi there. I've struggled with weight loss over the last 3-4 years, mostly due to medical/physical health issues. As a result, the amount of physical activity I could do is limited to none.

Then I started going to Hotworx and using the infrared sauna yoga. I go to sleep on time (for me) and wake up early refreshed. I…
