I Wax Poetic As Lifeblood Imperceptibly Wanes
Aging baby boomer no longer fit as a fiddle accumulating extra adipose tissue around the middle ain't no impossible mission whence thumbs I twiddle to shed unwanted weight methinks exorcise to unriddle. Call to action necessitates yours truly to acclimatize, calling fitness trainer whereby honed toned physique (tubby synonymous with Adonis – ha) benefits begetting courtesy to aerobicize, nsync dumbbells compliment exercise, whereby brutal daily grueling regimen will also...
