Book of the Month: Walking in Circles Before Lying Down

Book of the Month: Walking in Circles Before Lying Down

Author  writes for David Letterman, and has been trying her hand at writing novels for a while now. Walking in Circles Before Lying Down isn’t her first work, but it was the first of hers that I’d read- and it is a RIOT! I picked it up on a whim, after seeing it in the grocery store.

Fitness is not ALL about weight loss

Carol Penner is a very special lady in our classes.  She is very tiny and has a very tiny dog named Echo.  She began coming to our classes in September 2013.  During her first couple of classes, she was a little frustrated.
