I just don’t like it.
Luckily, I can get all those same vitamins and minerals from eating a wide variety of fruit and veggies that I do like! Who’d a thought?
Studies show that those who have partners who are active are 85% more likely to be active too. I’d suggest getting your partner exercising, then see if it rubs off 😉
