Knee joint
So finally made an effort and got back into the gym. During my leg press routine last friday I think I let my legs come up to close to my chest and at one point I felt as though the muscle in my knee "rolled" over the joint. Did not pay any attention and continued with lunges, squats etc..but by the weekend my right knee…

Bentonite clay
So I saw an old friend on the weekend and my jaw dropped. She said she had started using bentonite clay daily as a cleanser and she has dropped 40lbs. I have looked online and of course pro's and cons to it all. Any advice from anyone?

Cardio
Ok so I've been asking on all the different opinions regarding cardio. Some of my fitness friends/trainer have made these comments: - Its what you eat that counts. Even if you don't workout but you eat a balanced diet you will loose. - Cardio is over rated...strength training will make you loose inches and build muscle…
