With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

This is also called active recovery. -------------- - Nina -Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur. New website: https://nina.courtyardmarket.com www.free2bmore.com

I wouldn't think that you could get an adequate leg workout with such light weight....anyway, just my opinion.
