2014 was ending and I was 7 months deep into post college graduation blues. Since turning the tassel, I was traveling on the weekends, working full-time as an Industrial Engineer during the week, and embracing the real world with a rather heavy heart.

If you don’t know what T25 is, it’s a collection of about 15 DVD workouts that come with a schedule to follow.
