"Charlotte Today" - KISS THOSE INNER THIGHS GOODBYE...WELL, SORT OF




Click on the link above to view my latest appearance as the fitness expert on the local morning news show, "Charlotte Today."  See below for my outline/ written breakdown of my presentation.

“KISS THOSE INNER THIGHS GOODBYE”...WELL, SORT OF
-Do your jeans feel a little bit tight in the thigh area?  Well, so do mine!  
-If “skinny” thighs are what you want, then I am most definitely NOT the trainer for you.
-If strong, toned, muscular thighs (with no wiggly bits) are what you want, then I definitely AM the trainer for you
-I firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with bigger thighs, as long as they look fit
-In fact, you DON’T want skinny thighs, because you don’t want to lose the muscle there
-BONUS of strong thighs that are put to work 3-5 days/ week = calorie burning work horses...burning calories for you all day long, every day (even when your workout is over)
