Sticky footer for all pages

How can I have my footer stick to the bottom of the page for all of my pages.

<p>Hey there! My name is Julia and I am a ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor. </p>
<p>I started my fitness journey when I was teenager, running long distance for my High School Track team. From there I continued to pursue running and explore other ways to keep fit and active including taking part in indoor cycling classes and TRX suspension training. </p>

<p>I would appreciate the opportunity to connect with you to help you identify your fitness goals and outline a plan for your success to achieve the body you want with a workout you enjoy.</p>

In HTML add a class like "wrap" to the main div that excludes the footer. So the rest of the page is in this div, but not the footer. Like this in HTML:

<div class="wrap">

Then mark the min-height in CSS for the class "wrap" with the calc() function. You would calculate 100 percent of the viewer height (vh) and subtract the pixels for the footer (somewhere around 75 px, but it will depend upon how big you need your picture to be). The code would look like this in CSS:

.wrap {
      min-height: calc(100vh - 75px);
}
