  • Oooh I love lifting! I love that burn in my arms and feeling my body getting stronger!
  • I'm 5'10 and have always been in the 130-140 range, all throughout my twenties and now at thirty one I sit at 138. I danced throughout my childhood and teenage years so I've always been rather active. I think everyone's bodies are different and advice from your doctor is the best place to learn what and where your body…

  • Ooh lifting is the best! You'll love it!

It's so good for you too because it builds the muscle and gets you physically stronger so any other fitness…
  • I'm sure someone might have suggested this already, but try YouTube. It has tons of free workouts and it's always where I do mine. There's anything from step aerobics, regular aerobics, all sorts of options. My favorites are Jenny Ford and Jessica Smith. Jenny has mostly step aerobics but other options as well and Jessica…
  • Thanks Roughgalaxy! I'm pretty much loving this place already hehe!
