5 Tips for Hiring a Personal Trainer – And Why It’s Personal
There are many things to consider when you’re on the prowl for a new fitness guru. Not all personal trainers are created equally.
Tapping into Your Outer Strength
Long gone are the days of us prancing around in leotards, doing jazzercise to be fit. If you haven’t picked up on it yet, let me be the one to tell you, cardio is never going to give you the tone and tightness you seek.
