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.

Next do what you already do but go for the liquid energy rather than bars (faster result). Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
