Over the past month or so, many of my clients have asked me how it feels to be 50 years old. I find it kinda funny to hear that question from so many who past that milestone long before I did. The Jersey Boy in me wanted to say, “Why do you ask? Has it been […]
Good Morning Followers: Many Body Designs’ clients have recently asked me about Intermittent Fasting (IF) as an approach to achieving their fitness goals. Well, my answer in a minute.
