Normally my Saturday is a loose-ends tying, wandering around and figuring stuff out day (as you may have noticed via Instagram). That's still on the schedule, but given holiday demands, my fellow type-a maniac advanced client and I moved our normal "Sunday challenge" to Satuday instead.

Take a break when you need it - this … [Read more...] about Follow Along, Do Anywhere Bodyweight Workout

It's summertime and many people will take the opportunity to travel - but there's no reason that means we have to stop working out!
