Thnx! I run/jog about 3.5 miles a day and also do about 200 situps, leg squats. I think i will join a gym tho and take classes or something, that might help!

The classes cover all the muscle groups, and your back, shoulders, core etc. I really enjoy them

Sounds great! lol i know my body will be so sore but it's a great feeling

Have you tried Yoga or Pilates? Alot of it has to do with your "core" being strong, results will take a while though.

That means it working! LOL! It will be sore the first few times, but when you build up more strength it won't be as painfull.
