How to Handle Road Rage: A Guide to Staying Calm Behind the Wheel
Road rage is a phenomenon we can all relate to, to some degree. For me, as a fitness instructor who teaches at seven different gyms and clubs, it's a regular part of my life. I often get stuck in rush hour traffic, waking up at 7 a.m. to make my 8 a.m. Pilates...
