Re: What is a good clease to use?

Cleanses are typically a waste of money. Keep eating real food and make sure you're taking a fiber supplement each night. In opinion as a trainer the only two ways you should be detoxing are: 1.

Re: Just getting started. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Hey Tanhee- Good for you for getting started. The key is to have that long term goal but break it down into short term goals (weekly, monthly). Starting out, try to get in 4 workouts each week.
