Fitness Friday: 10 Sneaky Ways to Squeeze Fitness into your Day
Last week on Fitness Friday, one of my lovely readers, Alina, commented that she tries to workout everyday, even if it's just for 20 minutes. It really got me thinking about how much better I feel when I've gotten some form of fitness into my day. We all have days where despite our best ...
