Fitness Friday: Twirling Again

Group

I finally got to go back to dance class last night after a few weeks of snow and ice cancellations. It was really great to be there again.  It’s also awesome to be somewhat happy about the health and fitness of my body.  A year ago, I would have been mortified to be in a [...]
