30 Day Challenge – December 2011 – Jump, Push, Pull, Squat, Crunch

December 2, 2011

I’ve really been getting out of shape lately and given that I have a few failed attempts in making it to the gym on a regular basis I’m going to try something different. 100% hiking, well at least for this month. Just like the title reads I’m going to put down 100 miles on the [...]
