FRIDAY means its time for Jessica’s Friday Fitness tip: Slow and steady wins the race. It’s amazing how much we expect to happen overnight. Exercising, eating well for one week isn’t going to undo years of neglect. Rome wasn’t built in a day, so don’t expect to reach your goal in a single day. Are you guilty of expecting too much too soon? http://www.facebook.com/TheFreshDiet/posts/10150339012517324
ITS FRIDAY!!!! Do you need an instant energizer from our fitness expert Jessica Smith? Percussive breathing is the perfect pick me up.
