Getting Physical
February 7, 2008
So, you want to start a workout program? You want to get into shape? Lose some weight? Get buff? Feel good?
Time to get physical. But before you do, make sure that your workout plan as everything that it needs to get you where you want to be.
How do you like your salad? Just lettuce? No dressing, no croutons, no cheese, no carrots, etc…. That would be a really boring salad and wouldn’t get you anywhere nutritionally.

For some, the stretch between Thanksgiving and New Years day can add 20 pounds, and seem to wipe out all of that hard work from months before. Read more
