routines from Youtube. A lot of the advice is fine, but not everything goes

quite rigid. But veins, which bring the blood.back to the heart by the action of leg
muscles are squishy. And they do repair themselves to some extent, but
without those all-important portals. Varicose veins respond to exercise to
strenghten leg muscles!!
