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.

For everyday life, like I've said before Sauve (& Jergens) make a skin toning lotion with a seaweed extract. It actually works (short term of course) so when you got the shorts ant t top on use the Sauve.
