Hia, not too bad I really must not grumble!! How Debbie keeps up with the exercise when feeling pants I will never know. I have been exercising again, just had a few issues with tennis elbow so unable to lift at certain angles. Its getting better, but I couldn't go on the spin bike also due to the angle of the handlebars. Back to it now though so I am seeing and feeling the benefits again. Thanks for asking by the way. How are things with you?
