Fresh New Fit: Static Trapeze Class at Twin Cities Trapeze Center

June 12, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

Ah, I'm so sorry I have been MIA! My computer was on its last leg, so I had to order a new one. The new one was a custom order with loads of memory, so it took a little while for it to arrive. But now I am back in action, and this Macbook is WAAAY faster; I love it! Anyways, I have been meaning to write a post about the static trapeze class that Dustin and I took last Saturday. Remember last Continue Reading

Hi all! I took a few months off from my 30-day challenges, but its time to get back at it! I mean, its summer.
