{Fitness Friday #4} Fitness Rambles

Take a Fitness Break

October 10, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! No, not a break from fitness…although some people could use that too! I notice during the school year, I can get so into my homework/studying/facebooking-when-I’m-supposed-to-be-doing-homework-and-studying, that I sit for too long and get sore. It’s recommended that people working at a desk get up once every hour…and that counts for sitting in front…
