Fat Talk & Body Negativity: No Good For Your Mind,...

supahglam asked: I just want to say- I looove the workouts you post! I was also wondering- im a rower, and crew puts a lot of stress on your back. We always pop our backs, several times a day to relieve some of the pain in our backs. Is this going to cause long term repercussions? People always say popping your knuckles can lead to arthritis- what's your take on this?
