I've been hypothyroid for over 20 yrs. and on meds. I workout everyday for 60 to 90 min. Dr. Oz is supposed to talk about the thyroid today on his show, according to Facebook. Are you getting enough iodine in your diet, that alone may help you without meds.
I have a book that says to do cardio or weights first depending on which one you are focusing on more, so if you want to give the strength workout your all I would go with that first.
True, DOMS usually happen when you do exercises you are not used to or haven't done in a while. I'm so used to heavy lifting at this point probably nothing could give me much DOMS.
BB is def. a good program!:D
I trim my own Ragdoll cats hair with clippers, my husband holds him and I clip his underneath hair. He is more comfortable, since we live in Florida and he swallows less hair. But I would NEVER shave him, their coat is their pride and joy.
