I had a conversation with my Granny the other day, where she told me about a friend of hers that had recently passed away. Naturally this event upset her greatly but the newspaper obituary had her in a tailspin.

A Real Excuse for Skipping a Day of Exercise? Ok ladies, here’s the scoop….there really are valid reasons to skip a day at the gym! But this article comes with a warning, if the shoe doesn’t fit, don’t try to wear it! Exercise causes microtrauma to muscles, which get stronger when they repair themselves during rest.
