I am pretty sure … [Read more...]

Week one of the Go Green Get Fit Challenge presented by Planet Shoes and the EcoMom Alliance officially starts today.

The workout rotated through 5 different exercises: wallball -12 pound ball push press - 45 pounds (for women) box step up - 24 inch … [Read more...]
