To start over or not start over? That is the question...
Hi there ladies! I made it through the end of Stage 2 and in my very last set of Bulgarian split squats I really hurt my ankle. Like 8 weeks in a walking boot type of hurt. I'm much better now and healed up nicely, but I made excuses and didn't workout for 8 weeks straight, so my endurance and strength are nothing now. I…

Relearning How to Run. Advise Please.
I just started running again. I haven't done it in about 6 years because of the pain of re-training my lungs due to asthma. Any tips for re-starting? Good stretches? Things to eat pre and post? My goal is to run the Bolder Boulder, a 10k at the end of May, in under an hour. I've done the race about ten times and know I can…
