How to: Avoid Overexercise… – Ok so I’m going to tell a story in here really quick after the info thingy This is a reupload from RHN, witha few things changed… Exercising/Sport/Movement is so much a gift (can you tell this is my field of study by any chance =P) that is all too often regarded as a chore, begrudged or even abused.
