Modifications are for us all. They help us understand the foundations of a movement so that we feel it in all the right places. And they remind us to treat our bodies with care as we gain strength. Choosing a modification is something we will always celebrate in the Movement by NM community. Meet yourself wherever you are today and see how this simple act changes your relationship with fitness.
