About the author

Marcus Reyes is Wellness Newspaper's Fitness & Movement editor. A former college soccer player, Marcus rebuilt his own fitness from the ground up after a torn ACL sidelined him during his senior season — an experience that still shapes how he approaches every workout he writes about today. He's a certified personal trainer with six years of experience coaching at a community recreation center, and he still spends his weekends coaching youth soccer. Marcus believes consistency beats intensity every time, and he writes the way he coaches: encouraging, direct, and never afraid to admit when he's skipped his own leg day.
