Good Morning to a New Me!
Good Morning! I just started using this site yesterday and hope it'll give me the motivation to follow through on my goals. I just finished rehab on my second major knee surgery (reconstructive) and am slowly starting to get back into actual workouts, not just PT. It's been really discouraging not being able to do much…
