The light walking and even ( I know it will hurt) some light body weight squats will help get rid of thepain faster. I have a two year old as well so i feel your pain!

You are pumping nutrient rich blood to the affected areas, great for a variety of reasons. Being smart about it is key...this means not another heavy workout, but enough just to stimulate blood flow. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

I just got carried away because I saw what I look like and imaged what I can be and puch myself.I feel good because I know my body is changing...thanks.....:big_smile:
