Personal Training with Jackie Warner (video/giveaway).
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljcBCtCdwDY As I have rhymingly yammered above---I love me some Jackie Warner. Yes, I agree that her tv show kinda plummeted in the final season (Im more about the dumbbells than the drama) but I adored how she truly cared about & unflaggingly encouraged/supported her clients.
