Finding the Time for Fitness – 48 Hour Challenge
What’s possible in a weekend? We’re often asked how we manage to fit exercise into our busy lives. We approach it a different way – exercise is what we like to do, not something we add in so we often shuffle other things aside to fit fitness into our lives. Neutrogena challenged us to complete…
