It helps if you mix it the day before and let it dissolve, rather than relying on just shaking to dissolve it.

TheScribbler 16 May 5:10pm, 16 May 2025 6,533 posts	Quote Pin TheScribbler That's just what they asked and haven't had chance to ask further questions today. Difficult to suggest not knowing their experience of exercise in general. They may not actually want an app - just have been influenced that way, because there are so many now. I was thinking of suggesting some kind of weight/resistance training and flexibility as good as we age anyway.
