My silly body building question...
Hello everyone, Okay so excuse me if this is a silly question but I was wondering about it with my girlfriend today...

Eat exercise calories when full already?

Allergies and working out?

EDIT: I mean CALORIES. Hah just read a post about carbs, sorry! Hey guys, I know this probably comes up a lot and I've read many of the pages on here about eating your exercise carbs except its hard for me to understand something without applying it towards myself.

Can I start P90X with my fitness level?
Hello everyone! So I've heard the treat reviews about the whole P90X workouts. I've been very interested and I had adored intense workouts when I was working out and training for rugby.

Twisted leg makes some exercises painful. Advice?
So I was born with a slight twist to my tibia and fibia which puts a lot of strain either on my knees or on my ankles when I do certain workouts and it also makes balancing with some moves quite difficult.
