She gave me this life-changing technique, and it's unbelievable how it works, especially on those mornings where you just don't feel like getting out of bed. It's called slithering, and today, I'm going to teach it to you. >> Sometimes the hardest part of starting something new is starting. That's especially true with new exercise routines.
