Olahraga: manfaat dan strategi promosi

Lari pagi, gerakan badan!

Lari pagi melawan hembusan angin yang cukup kencang itu.... that was really something. Sebulan terakhir ini saya merasakan badan saya kaku, dan setiap bangun pagi tidak pernah merasa segar. Saya sangat tahu penyebabnya adalah kurang bergerak, terlalu banyak duduk, nonton, memantau aktivitas teman di Facebook dan nge-twit.

Saya berusaha untuk itu, tidak hanya mencintai tapi juga berusaha menggilainya...
