The most creative thing she had me do this morning was on the treadmill. With it unplugged. And at [...]

Today was such a whirlwind, I hardly know where to start.
I showed up at the gym this morning with my list of exercises from my workout pledge ready to go. My sister was there to join me but what I didn’t know was that Michelle, the owner of the gym, would also be there [...]
