Over the past week I’ve read two very interesting blog posts about burning additional calories.

I’m breaking away from my usual blog and fitness format because this is an important story that needs to be told: I love having a backyard pool – just like I love my Rottweiler, but of course both are dangerous. My dog LOOKS more dangerous than my pool, but truthfully, I know my pool is [...]
