Sport with lipedema: The thing with the weaker self
Not so long ago I was born a couch potato and didn't have much to do with exercise. Except for the occasional badminton, squash or swimming, my sporting life was very rusty. What does rusty mean ... there was simply nothing more. I had never found a passion in sport. Should be in May 2020
