My Advocare Results
Hey! Just wanted to share my results for anyone interested in the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. I feel like I need to preface this with the following -- "Yes I know there is no quick fix" "Yes, all one needs to do is limit their calories and work out to loose weight" "No, I am not a seller of the product and am not trying to…

Totally taken back by my HRM
So for my birthday this year I asked for a HRM and got one of those really good kinds with a chest strap and everything.

I did about 50 minutes of kickboxing and only burned 367 calories!!…

My very first NSV

Finding an exercise partner
Hey Everyone! I noticed that I workout best with a partner. I grew up playing competitive sports and love to run alongside someone and try to beat them or keep up with them... whichever is the case. I have tried every workout video under the sun, but unless I'm doing them with someone else I get bored and only put half…
