Just checked the posts again here.............phenomenal woman, hope your pulled muscle feels better. Please becareful and dont push it...better to let it rest a day and miss a day or two of workouts than to injure ourselves and then be unable to do anything for a long duration. Anyhow, your doing great. Happy weekend
Hi jessica, wtg on the wii and turbo jam workouts IT does count.( I realize just today how much more I could do and how a lot of the upper bod workouts i was doing w/the wii helped a lot)...keep up the great work : )
