100 Reasons To Exercise


posted 3/8/10 10:24 pm

I borrowed this from the same source Annielou used for her post this morning. Victoria bariatric surgery.  I am printing this for my own use.  I challenge everyone to pick one or two of the reasons for yourself for today and get out there and just do the exercise.  Today I p-ick numbers 19 and 21.  What numbers or reasons are you going to pick for today.  Go burn some calories with me.  Hugs
