Perfect timing!! I am thinking about doing a little competition my gym is having in December... to represent the ladies!! I'm going to focus on strength to get there. I really appreciate the little circuit at the end of your post. I am a desk jockey and soreness is one of my struggles. I HAVE to move more. Thanks for the motivation!October 24, 2014 at 1:17 pm |
