Forget winter, SUMMER IS COMING! At least I think it is. A week ago there was snow and last night we had a hard frost. Geez, usually at this time of year I’m out in the yard, busy with winter cleanup and getting ready to plant stuff.
But summer will eventually get here in all its hot and sunny glory. And one thing I love about summer is the time spent in the pool.
But quitting smoking and developing the eating habits of a frat boy have led to some extra pounds. Tortilla chips and Easter candy for dinner? Yes, please.
If you’re like me and have some weight to take off before summer officially gets here, check out these awesome fitness YouTube channels for a ton of free workouts that’ll get you in swimsuit shape in no time!
