Power to the People!

March 30, 2010
By Howtobefit

No, not the name calling, spitting on, wrecking offices and death threats – the power that comes from being empowered through health and fitness.  We had the power to reform health care by changing our exercise habits and improving our nutrition, but we did nothing about it.  Not a good decision because now politicians...
