Around this time of year, a lot of us begin experiencing a certain level of dread. Great, you may be saying to yourself. Another New Year, another round exercise and nutrition regimen doomed to failure. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to shake this fat.

It’s human nature that as one year draws to a close we wonder how we might make more out of the year ahead.
