That’s what my mom asked me after one of her visits to the gym. Where are many reasons, but here is one success story.

Resistance

On April 29, 2011 By

(Almost) Whole30 – Part 3

On April 25, 2011 By

After delivering the MDSF Nutrition Guide, we are asking anyone who wants to participate in doing the Whole30 to sign up at the gym.

We aren’t having a contest like the LB(A)NC but it would be a good idea to take either pictures or measurements. If you want Susan or I to take [...]
