HUGE Apologies About Previous Edition! Shape Digest #17 Recap

By Team Shape • Issue #18 • View online

Hey everyone!

One of our Shape Digest subscribers emailed me and he informed me that the articles from the previous Shape Digest were missing! Gutted!

I am very sorry for this. We believe it was an issue with the newsletter software we use.

I hope you do not feel bombarded by emails but I want to ensure you remain up to date with the latest headlines in Fitness & Health.

So this newsletter includes the articles you were meant to see yesterday!

The next newsletter will be sent out as usual next Tuesday.

Please accept my apologies again :)

Remember you can also find our Podcast here: Google Play Music and here on Stitcher.
