Articles
When you’re a parent, and especially when you’re a single parent, it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish everything, which makes finding time for maintaining fitness and exercise habits especially difficult. But when you take care of yourself, you’re in a better position to take care of your kids. To that end, I’d like to share a free article with health and fitness tips that work for anyone’s schedule and without breaking the bank. If you’re interested, please let me know and I can get to work. I look forward to hearing from you and to helping single parents find new ways to get healthy. http://singleparent.info/
