After reading JHL's book (see The Day I Shot Cupid post) I'm going to try Stevie Sant’Angelo's (Jennifer's fabulous trainer) workout. It was all laid out in the Love-aholic book, and to be honest: I posted it on the Happa so I can reference it on my iPhone when I'm doing this 3 part workout... instead of carrying the book throughout the gym, and possibly misplacing it on a treadmill, leaving it next to the weights, or forgetting it at home. So I'm going to try this workout and see if I can make this my own workout routine... hell if I can do it! Wish me luck! haha
