    I'm training for a triathlon so I swim/bike or swim/run 5 times a week and do strength 2-4 times a week. I started a new strength training program that's killing me!! But I can totally see the difference!


    Yes! Lunge is what they called it....... terribe stuff, but I still do it (half the time lol). The first time, I forgot to stretch. I felt that for a good week lol. Its cool that your doing that! It'll get easier

    Yeah, no problem. Basically squat (The only way I can think of explaining it is the toilet postion. lol) against a wall, and keep your back straight up against the wall, without moving.
