      Hello Randy! Happy to hear that, it's all about progressive overload and focusing on making small progress over time. I might be missing a leg but I'm fitter and I can sprint uphill faster than most two-legged people my age :) If she's patient she can accomplish great things in the long run!

    seems you're having a blast so i think i will too. looking forward to trying to box and being bad at it, but having fun (more important) - will be new to me too, but first things first.
