Bronchitis + Workout...bad combo?
My boyfriend, who is extremely supportive of my weight loss journey, has informed me that it's probably not the best idea to be working out with a bout of bronchitis in my system.

Basic cardio for beginners?
Anyone have any idea about basic cardio moves for beginners? I'm just starting out (had signed up for this profile on my iPod and forgotten about it until today) and really need the movement. I'm doing a lot of cleaning throughout the day in the house I'm sharing with my boyfriend and our roommate, who both work. I stay at…
