I am in my mid 20's , have a small frame and am happy with my overall weight. however, i would like to focus on the following things: -eating healthy, finding more ways to incorporate fruits and veggies into my diet. any favorite recipes would be appreciated! -toning: particular focus on my abs, glutes, and legs. please let me know if you have any tips on toning up these specific areas (i do have access to a gym) -working on having a better posture: pretty sure there are no medical reasons for this, but may be a result of having weak lower back muscles.  if anyone has any tips on the things mentioned above, i look forward to hearing from you :)
