Summary
In this episode’s conversation, we’ll hear from a fulltime RV couple who happen to also be fitness and healthy living experts. They’ll share some startling information for us… How the RV Lifestyle Can Wreck Your Health. But how a few simple tweaks in your daily habits can do an amazing Before and After transformation for you.
We had some fun using AI to do a before and after exaggeration image for us. But… what we learn this week is pretty eye-opening.
We were very interested in what they said about how we can actually do some things that counteract the effects of aging
And we were struck by what happens after you sit behind the wheel of an RV for a few hours.
Plus, we’ll share a Destination of the Week suggestion for you - the Kofa Wildlife Refuge in Arizona. And we answer a question about camping availability oin Florida in February.
