I started doing P.volve last summer and it was one of those workouts I truly got addicted to. It’s low impact, focuses on the results I want to achieve (long and lean muscles) and was so easy to do at home via their streaming program. I wrote a full review of the program, here. After returning from our family vacation in Seaside last summer, I ...

What is Intermittent Fasting + Why it Works for Me
When I started on my journey towards eating more healthfully this year, something I started to practice without much thought is to stop eating after dinner and then not eat again until I got to work in the morning.
