Spring is here! Well, almost. Now that the sun is shining and it's (maybe?) getting warmer, I dare you to go outside! Get some sunshine! Make yourself some vitamin D! Have fun!
I've got a LOT coming up on the blog for this spring/summer, and although I'm SO eager to share with you some new dares I've taken on, I want to make sure I do 'em right and gather sufficient information for you first. Sooo... For now, there's TONS of interesting stuff, as always, to learn from on other websites. The last "features" post was a bit nutrition-heavy, so this one will be more diverse. Enjoy!

Speaking of going outside, taking your routine outside could benefit your workout!

There is an outrageous sale going on at Paleo Plan,
where 30 different books, meal plans, magazine subscriptions, and discount codes,
worth almost $400, are being sold for a mere $39.
Ridiculous? Yes.

before it ends on Tuesday, April 9!
