So, what condition is your condition in? Three years ago, for Libby Smith, the answer would have been not that great, at least in terms of physicality. “I had some health problems and that led to the realization of just how out of shape and unhealthy I was. This led to my decision to change [...]
On Jan 1 2014, like millions of others, Andy White made a new year’s resolution to get into shape. On January 2nd he, like millions of others, learned just how out of shape he was. “I went to the track for a run … and after one lap I thought I was literally going to [...]
