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.

Like asimmer said, try to get a track workout in once a week. Have fun! -Kirby
