5/6: Women’s Shoulders and Abs Workout

Happy Thursday! Today I did the same shoulder and abs workout that I did last week. It seemed a little harder this time and I actually kept the weight the same for everything. Interesting…

In case you haven’t yet read the new nutrition post titled, ‘ Developing a Personal, Healthy Meal Plan for Children ‘ written by my contributing writer Chantel, I encourage you to check it out. She has written one for adults too. I get a lot of questions about nutrition and people are always wanting to know what to eat and how much. She tells you exactly what to do!

…on with the workout!
