Fitness with a Side of Fried

Because Health in Mississippi Isn’t Exactly Kale & Burpees

MSfit isn’t your usual fitness blog—it’s wellness served with a healthy dose of reality (and maybe a biscuit or two).

LIVE SEARCH- Kinda know what you’re looking for? Try the Live Search (aka “The FINDERer”)!

*Except Billingsly. Don’t think we haven’t tried.

HEAD HOME- If all else fails and—for reasons beyond our understanding—haven’t decided to just leave, you can simply return HOME and start all over. 

Side-Note: If you happen upon a bewildered intern carrying too many coffee orders and the company credit card… could you at least bring back the credit card? Accounting is starting to ask questions.
