   Roozeyk replied to luckylin08's topic in General Students

   I'm 47 and I bike 15-20 miles a day first thing in the mornings. I think it helps clear my head for the rest of the day and gives me energy. I think proper diet and rest are key elements as well. I'm not a big vitamin person, but I don't think the...
