I like Big Butts…

Let me guess. You love to sleep in, stay up late naturally and can think of nothing worse than getting up before the rooster crows to do an intense workout. Am I right? Yet, everything you are told to do with your fitness, from what you have found on Google indicates you should be up …

To Thine Own Self Be True

Imitating Shakespeare- did you get it? I love Shakespeare. So many life lessons, modern societal trends and blurred identities. It is the ultimate read. If there is one thing I know. It is myself. Going through a health crisis or two will do that to you. Smack you in the face with the things you …
