I have a new favorite website that I like to check regularly.  It’s blondeponytail.com.  First off, this girl is super fit!  She has a lot of really good workouts on her site.  She also offers some really good advice.  I’m posting a workout that she came up with.  She demonstrates all of the exercises in a video that she put together.  The only...
