Loved these answers from people!

I thought I was just getting stronger physically, but little did I know it helped to change my mindset to also be stronger. it also has taught me that pulling back to get stronger is okay instead of pushing harder.          F. Russell

I feel better, move better, am much stronger and can lift heavy things. I'm aging better, I met a bunch of great like-minded women and have a wonderful coach! What did I miss? ;). M. Miller (early 60's)
