This article was posted on this site on 9 January 2012 and there’re only 3 comments with only 2 showing indication of trying the tips. This shows the level of seriousness Zambians, especially those who patronize this site, attach to keeping up fit and in shape. Majority men have potty bellies at tender age and still think that is a great sign of “good milile” and healthy living. Well, personally I appreciate the free tips that LT gives us occasionally on keeping fit & healthy. These tips are otherwise expensive advise if sort from a professional trainer.
