Letter from the Publisher

It’s been a long, busy first few months of the year preparing the magazine for publication, and we’re so happy this issue is finally here! While we were hard at work behind the scenes, we continued to see you passionately and proactively pursue healthy lifestyles. I know wellness isn’t always the easiest, most straightforward, or most comfortable route. Sometimes we stray from our paths, and it takes something or someone to steer us back on track. My own fitness journey has taken twists and turns I never could have anticipated. I’m inspired by our KidStrong cover stars whose focus is on resilience, independence, and self-worth—which we could all use a dose of. Our spring & summer issue is full of ways to move, fuel, and celebrate your body at every age. I hope it will offer what you need to return to or help you find your path. Whether it’s ways to be active, finding community, or nourishing your body, our goal is to help you feel empowered to try new things and dive into this season with a fresh and open mindset.
