    when to train twice a day

    Because I clean the gym, my girls hit the gym every weekday morning at 6:30 for a 30 min workout on top of the three weekly classes. The morning routines are strictly to work on muscle strength and endurance, not any of the skills or routines.

    Long hair is the toughest. My youngest has shorter hair and I can have it ready in no time but this long hair can be a challenge. You get it up and Pray that it stays up.

    Pain tolerance!

    I think pain tolerance is just something your born with. My youngest cries about every little bump while my oldest will hardly shed a tear for a broken collar bone.
