Hi, I'm Shannon and welcome to FitAficionada, my fitness, health and wellness blog. Here I will be posting inspirational images, great workouts that will get you moving and sweating, helpful tips, nutritious recipes and my very own wellness progression. 
Summer is right around the corner, and whether you are looking to get lean or if you’re wanting to bulk up - its time to get your best beach body ready!
From childhood on, our mobility decreases until we lose our natural alignment, flexibility, and strength. We convince ourselves that it’s natural to wake up with aches, or fight through stiffness. But it isn’t.
Tai Cheng™ is a 12-week total-body fitness program developed by martial arts master trainer Dr. Mark Cheng, designed for immediate and long-term benefits from learning the graceful movements of Tai Chi (pronounced “tie-CHEE”). Dr. Cheng utilizes uses a technique called Dynamic Motion Control™ to help you understand Tai Chi and its movements by developing fluency in it, similar to the way you learn a new language: by first being exposed to sounds, then turning the sounds into words, and later combining those words into phrases. In Tai Cheng™, you’ll learn individual movements, join the movements together to make combinations, then build the combinations into longer series.
For the month of May only, you can save $90 on Tai Cheng™ Challenge Packs from FitAficionada.com
