Took It To The Pavement

Q.U.E.E.N. #Workout

It’s Not Easy Being Green

Busted! 5 Fitness and Health Tips That May Make You Cry

Myth: The more ab exercises I do, the skinnier my waist will be. BUSTED: Doing stomach exercises can strengthen your abdominal muscles, but it won't burn body fat to give you that 6-pack you’re after.  If you want your ab muscles to show, you need to either be naturally skinny or embrace a diet low in carbohydrates and high in proteins with a ...

Phine Body vs. Booty Boot Camp
