[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 833752, member: 50197"] Mainly what I am looking to do is build more muscle mass to burn more sugar. I'm 71 and have been married since Ford was president, so I've no need to look like Arnold. They have a whole bunch of different machines there, but I'm trying to keep it simple, especially at first.
