  • I have low blood pressure, currently. Would that be an issue? I'll definitely consult my trainer to check my form and pay attention to my breathing to make sure I'm not unintentionally breathing irregularly. Thanks for all of the responses!

  • It's not that odd, although I do think it depends on the person answering... many "extremist" vegans that I've come into contact with are ridiculously opposed to it.

It teachers, obviously, from a nursing student perspective, but it's MUCH more reliable than a lot of other texts out there; it also lacks the biased viewpoint that many self-help books tend to have.

Most people don't get enough…

  • I've got a similar issue, but with my elbows during triceps extensions instead of knees... I'm definitely interested in seeing what people say. Bump!

  • It just kind of happened for me after a while. I turned it into a coping mechanism for when school and work became to stressful.
