Kickin’ It
Time to put your best foot forward for this week’s Five Minutes for Fitness.
Kickboxing is one of my favorite cross-training work-outs. It’s is a great core work-out that forces you to use your entire body.

Say it Forward: Carnival of Loyal Commenters
Five Minutes for Mom kicked off a Carnival of Loyal Commenters last Friday. The gist of this “Say it Forward Program” is to spotlight readers who faithfully leave comments.
