Smash Workout

If you haven't given SMASH a chance yet, set your dvr to NBC on Mondays at 10pm for a real treat, especially if you like musical tv shows.  I am really enjoying the program, and think that Katharine McPhee looks amazing! 


NBC



The March issue of Self Magazine provided us a glimpse of McPhee's workout from Oscar Smith.  This endurance building, calorie torching hour looks like something that might be added to my weekly workout rotation soon!
