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.

Because throughout my life i havnt had a great diet and i doubt i consumed enough calcium, but now at the age of 15 i am eating healthier (including more calcium rich food like milk, yogurt etc), and exercising. Plus I am going to start weight training in a couple of months when i can join my local gym. Will i be able to get my bones really strong and healthy, or will they always be slightly weak because of my earlier years of bad nutrition and little exercise?
