Winterize Your Workouts

Even in a warm area like San Antonio, you may need to winterize your workouts.

Have You Ever Done A Cleanse?

Have You Ever Done A Cleanse?

There’s a lot of hype about all the good a cleanse or detox can do for both weight loss and what ails you, but there’s very little evidence. One thing is certain, it does provide an opportunity to reboot your body, like you would a computer, and then start on a healthy diet adding new […]
