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.

I gave blood today and as the woman took my blood pressure she said, "You must work out." I asked her why and she said that 96/62 was really good. I guess the national average is around 120-130/80-84. So I just wanted to say as a reminder that not only are you all improving the way you look, but you're going to enjoy this life for a lot longer as well with these healthy beneifts.

The dentist looks me in the eye and says - do you work out a lot? I nodded and he says 'its fine, she has a low heart rate' Whew! Yes - we are fending off many many lifestyle related diseases with our 'obsessive' lifestyles (as some have called mine). Keep it up!!! -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results
