Need to know: Actresses portraying priestesses will use the sun’s rays and a mirror today to light the Olympic flame in Olympia, Greece. Well, where else would you do such a thing? OK, specifically, the ceremony is at the 2,600-year-old Temple of Hera. The priestesses will then pass the flame to the first of 490 [...]

If you take a look at these women, who definitely are well beyond their thirties, you will see that fat loss and amazingly ripped bodies aren’t a fantasy, they are a reality.

Branch Warren Wins 2012 Australian Pro Bodybuilding Competition
