Metabolism question

What about a person with a slow metabolism could they ever get a toned body through exercise and diet or is there just no hope? lol.

T0 answer your second question, yes you can get a toned body through exercise and diet. That is what this board is all about.:big_smile: -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada
