I think he is cheating...
Ok, I have had the "women's intuition" going on here for a few months. This is not common, so I figure I would look into the idea that my boyfriend may be cheating.

My muscles are pulled - Do I still workout?
I did a few lunges and squats yesterday for the first time in a long time. I ended up pulling my thigh muscles in both of my legs. I am wondering if it is OK to continue to work out tonight (maybe not as intense I usually would, but just a gentle walk) ? Should I just not work out tonight and give time to heal?
