Due to my current drop in fitness level due to chemo, I have dug out a lot of old workout DVDs that I stored in boxes in my closet many years ago. I decided it was time to revisit my old Firm workouts that got me addicted to working out 15+ years ago. What actually started … Continue reading The Firm: Aerobic Body Shaping

Bob's workouts are very … Continue reading Beginner’s Weight Loss Transformation

Well, anyone who follows my blog knows … Continue reading High Step Circuit
