my favorite myth. I don't want to lift "heavy" weights because I'll get bulky

Distance running is good for you

2/14/20 9:26am

Yes because when he hurts himself by not building up into it he will quit working out. Far better forms of exercise out

Well sure..you can't decide next week you are going to go out and run a marathon

I work it hard everyday and eat healthy but I can’t lose weight.
