admin She works me hard! During dinner tonight she asked me to “do boxing” on Wii Fit. This is the Rhythm Boxing cardio workout. She really likes the fast punching at the end, and informs me that I’m “going to go fast later.” Then, she wanted me to run the Island Lap. Ten minutes of jogging. … Read more

Only ninety-two more to go. NCN at No. Calories Needed managed 13 on his first go-around. JD of Get Fit Slowly is working … Read more
