Labor Day weekend has come and passed signaling the end of Summer. We’re slowly seeing the days getting shorter, the temperatures dropping, and the kids are back in school. Just two more weeks to go and Fall will be here. We’re looking forward to seeing the leaves change and cuddling up on the couch with a warm cup of cocoa (or pumpkin flavored beverage) and read a good book. Here are three of some our all-time favorite inspiring health and wellness books. We know they’ll keep you motivated to stick with your fit and wellness journey even after beach body season is over.
