Read and Comment on 5 articles on the wiki

Add links to your personal page in this section + add a comment / reflection on each page you have read (what surprised you? What did you learn?)

1. Soreness In Muscles: Interesting article, I learned that soreness in muscles is not from the buildup of lactic acid like I previously thought.
2. Overexercising: Very informative, I did not realize how detremental overexcercising could be to your body.
3. Affordable healthy meals for college students: I really liked the good ideas for meals in this one. I needed some tips on healthier eating.
4. Cardiorespiratory Endurance Exercise and Its benefits: Very good information, made me realize how important cardio really is.
