Also, did the doc suggest laying off sodas? Sodas leech calcium from the bones.
thanks Koala, i probably drink 6 servings of soda beverages a year.
I am doing 15 reps of various exercises using 2lb and 5 lb barbells.
no danger of overdoing it at this point, but thanks

Toni, i'll check out those bands, thanks.
