Blogging is hard work!

After about 18 months of blogging, I've decided to take a break. For those of you who like to do the workouts--I have posted 31 of them, one for each day of the month. I've tried to have a variety and I've tried to mix them up so you won't use the same muscle group repeatedly. I've also put all the videos along the left side so you can view them for correct form.

I do have some running listed. I know that the weather won't always work, but I believe that there should be some running in workout programming. Just do your best!

Enjoy!
