Hope you all have a great day!!

Hey Lady..look at you!!! You are doing great yourself

Thanks Mischa--Actually I am doing much better than I thought I could. I take each exercise and do it slow. But the other day I was watching this young man--probably 22yo give or take--No I wasn't drooling--but he was doing Very heavy weights and I asked my trainer about why he was using such heavy weights and doing his exercises so fast and she said that that was the way to build muscle. He had to tie himself on one of the machines as the weights literally lifted him off the seat. Really different.

Hope you have a great day!! Have fun in the sun too!!
