I just got this calendar in the mail yesterday. None of us girls who use the Venus Index Workout knew who would be in this or where so it was a surprise (I ended up on the cover and August).

What is a good Android app for tracking running routes?

A benefit of getting fit at 50 years old.
<< yes this is really me. I hate that my head is cut off there. My husband and I have been married 23 years and we are happy. He loved me even when I was obese. When I make fun of my "fat" pictures he scolds me and says I was always his lovely wife, even then, and he had better not ever hear me disparage myself again. And…

My backyard run, lets see pics of your pretty route
<< Yes the picture is me and I am not a fitness model. But I love running and lifting. I lost 60 lbs and I have found once you get lean you can lift as heavy as you want and still run fast. I'm a girl and my muscles just don't get that big. If you stay natural like I do you don't have to be afraid of heavy lifting, you…

Why do we get veins from working out?
I was not my goal to get these, but it's happening from working out. They are growing. Anyone know why? I know some guys try to get them, and lately at gyms guys come up and say they are jealous of my arms. I am not very big, but I'm strong. I'm actually really tiny (only 5'1" and my circumference measurements are not…
