IF IT DOESN’T CHALLENGE YOU IT DOESN’T CHANGE YOU
That slogan is by Fred DeVito who along with his wife Elizabeth Halfpapp are the creators of Core Fusion and the heads of the now global EXHALE spas. They are also the authors of the new book BARRE FITNESS. Fred yells that out in class when he wants to push you and for you to push yourself.

But it is far from most lethal, highly addictive, widely ingested white, powdery substance around. That would be sugar. Yes, the number one devil in a white dress is that sweet tasting, seemingly banal though highly addictive sugar, and its relatives, fructose, corn syrup and the rest of the sweeteners we seemingly cannot live without.
