Weird hip problem
Hey all! I do a class on M/W/F and on occasion, we will do deep squats (just bodyweight) as part of our workout. When we do these, the instructor wants our feet spread a bit and toes pointed out to allow us to get deep in the squat. Here is my problem.

I survived!!
I purchased a groupon a few weeks ago for four weeks of boot camp classes (m/w/f at 5am!).

My workout related NSV
I've been interested in boxing for a couple years now but whenever I think about taking a class, I find some reason why it just won't work. Usually, I convince myself that I just don't have time. One month ago today, I got up the nerve to start boxing lessons with a private coach. They are hour long sessions and the first…
