Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

SHN Happy Moves 3-3-15 [ 10 Minute Workout ]

10 minute home workout stair intervals. You can do this workout any time anywhere! via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

We are all pressed for time these days, aren’t we? It doesn’t matter your situation, it’s much easier to talk yourself into a 10 minute workout at home than heading to the gym for an hour!
