Spice up your burpees
It’s no secret, we like cadence exercises. Why? Because there’s no where to hide, you can either do it, or you can’t. And there’s no bonus for speeding through, as if it’s some achievement that you’re done before everyone else...
Athletes eat. Fat people diet.

Those five words felt like they reached up out of the phone and smacked me in the mouth.
