Short on time for your workout? Try this routine
Fridays in the summer are normally a light day for my Personal Training practice. But today it seemed like all my high profile clients wanted to squeeze in one more workout before they drove off ( or flew) to the Hamptons and Millbrook. This left me with little time for my own workout.
