Lifting heavy helped to transform my body. I always run 2 miles before my lifting session. But progressive weight lifting really helped me.

This is my first tattoo I got last Oct 2020 in remembrance of my eldest son Mike. He was murdered last year September 2, 2020. He was 28 yrs old. The tattoo is on my left leg because my son was left handed. ❤😥❤ I would like to get another tattoo now that I know how it feels.🙂

That is so awesome!!! That is a great feeling waking up sober and being able to accomplish what u need to during the day! And even a greater feeling that you stayed strong!!

Congrats!!!

That is so awesome!! 8 lbs is a lot

WOW! You look like you've lost more than 15lbs! Great job!

Yes!!! I've learned that the number on the scale can vastly change. I'm more concerned about increasing muscle and decreasing Body Fat. The number on the scale will eventually catch up! You can make 26% by September!! You got this!!

It is very rude and disrespectful. Instructors need to instruct, explain good form, and motivate the participants. People work out to get the most out of the class and benefit. Those that want to just talk throughout the session need to be kicked out of the class and go to the cafe if they want to just socialize. My…

Is this an instructor led class? If so, I am shocked the class instructor has not said anything.

My sister took off work tomorrow cuz she will be drinking tonight for the election. I have absolutely no desire to drink. At this point I really dont care who wins because we cannot change the outcome one way or the other. I will be going to bed so I can work out tomorrow morning.
