lily she is very cute.

I have my friend and rescue Smudge he is a Pug.

Kettlebell swings are great for cardio. If you have knee problems this is great as well. Living in an upstairs apartment they make no noise at all.

Shortly after that a trainer saw me using the machines in the gym. I ended up purchasing some sessions with her and she taught me to squat and deadlift. The rest is history. I'm signed up for my first power lifting meet this September. [/quote] Just as Arditarose did, how many of you signed up for some type of competition…

You may be working out too much. you body needs time to repair after a workout so either take a day to work on other muscle groups or a day off. Also make sure you stretch after your work out and as stated above potassium helps
