Don Overdo

Those who have been inactive
are likely TO overdo at first.
They are so tired of being fat
that they will do anything to
take off weight as soon as pos

This is mistake. It took a
long time to put on those layers
and while nature will not exact
the same length of time for SLIM

night miracle. 1t is dangerous
TO overdo when muscles are
stiff and heavy.

this over-enthusiasm resulted in
