Women’s Health Cover Star for January/February 2013:
TV’s Emily VanCamp (Revenge) is on the cover of Women’s Health and um… I read and reread this interview several times and just can’t pull anything out of it that feels noteworthy. Sorry gang, but sometimes I read just too many of these damn things and they all start to sound the same. (Emily does look great if that is helpful to any of you?)
Let’s just move on, shall we?
So what else is in the January/February issue of Women’s Health?
“Shop Your Shape--Fitness Looks”
I don’t know about you but Santa gave me lots of new pieces to wear to the gym. (Yay Santa!) If you are still looking to add to your fitness wardrobe, check out the ideas in Women’s Health’s fashion pages.

A simple “timing tweak” can help you burn more calories in less time. So, be sure to check out how to do just that with this workout from David Jack of Actv8 Phoenix of Acton, Massachusetts.
