I love FREE info!

With so many great free information sources available online (and let's face it, a few not-so-great), there's no excuse for being "bored" with workouts or not knowing the best ways to burn that body fat. I'd like to share a few of my favorites that I've learned so much from and read regularly (in no particular order)...

And, just today Precision Nutrition shared with the public "A Woman's Guide to Body Transformation". This is a great post complete with nutrition tips and instructional workout video! And, while it is geared toward women, it's full of sound advice anyone can use. You can check it out here: PN Woman's Guide to Body Transformation

Best,
