    Thanks Marcon125, I try to workout everyday this time of year, once I get started it's hard for me to miss day cause i feel guilty, lol. Keep up the great work, I see you mix it up a bit. I am going to get back to weight training once I get down a few more pounds, I kinda dread doing weights but it important to do plus burns more calories.

    Thank you, MinMin! My total was just under 600, I think. I have had a lower disc issue in the past that required PT. I'm going to do those exercises to get things back in alignment when my thigh muscle seems better.
