How do you.. secret exercise?
I am not talking full-on exercising, but more like secret little bits of exercise throughout the day. On Black Friday I wore ankle weights while shopping. It was amazing. That night my calves hurt so bad (but felt so good) and when I took the weights off, my ankles look amazing. I am thinking I should start wearing them to…
