Mr6am's Go-To "Drugs"
Plus twisty, scary, and naked things
You asked for it.
In my latest poll, exercise was one of the most requested topics.
So here, you go: my unsolicited opinion/credo:
There is a perfect workout regimen trifecta, for all women, in all states of life.

EXERCISE: It’s your meathead era. No, really: it’s time to lift some weights. Your muscle mass declines by 8% every decade starting in your 30s. So, if you’re in your 20s, it’s time to start. If you’re in your 30s, it’s time. If you’re in your 40-80s…it’s time! But, why lift? Well, it prevents osteoporosis, improves the number one longevity indicator and sleep, decreases the chance for diabetes and alzheimer's, increases cardio (forget the machines!) and immunity. Plus, it makes you feel like a BA, gives you freedom from the scale, and compliments any body type. So, what’s the need-to-know? Just three simple steps:
Come up with a plan- either body weight, dumbbells, or weights
