Spring is finally here. Time to dust off those walking or running shoes and get moving!
The following is a Spring detox to cleanse the body, remove the build up of toxins from sugar, caffeine, processed foods and alcohol and allow a faster rate of fat loss and muscle building. A clean body gets results fast.
