Couch Potato to Fitness Blogger – My Slow Burn Journey to Health

9 Reasons to Ride Scenic

The very first exercise class I took was a spin class. I was anxious and frightened, sat at the back and did my best to keep up and not vomit. I can't say I was hooked immediately, but I persevered for a few weeks and before I knew it, I was kinda committed. Spin is a brilliant … [Read more...]
