QUESTION: Is running bad for someone with a weak ankle? And is there a way to build up that ankle without hurting it?
ANSWER: I wouldn’t suggest running if you have an ankle that is weakened due to a previous injury. It would depend on exactly what is wrong with your ankle though. You can strengthen your ankles using bands and by doing exercises like calf raises and go from there.
QUESTION: What are some of the best exercises to keep my breasts from sagging when I get older?
ANSWER: Chest presses, push ups, incline flies (these also work for working the chest area for both males and females in general)
