Vigorous exercise can elevate ALT, AST enzymes, especially if you exercised the day before the blood test. With this small of an elevation, you should not worry. Have these test done again in two months, and make sure you don't workout for 2 days before the test. The test levels should be more in the normal range.

Take care,

Bob :)

Thanks so much Bob, I appreciate your feedback!  I do work out, and pretty intensely now, so i will make certain I do not prior to the next test!
Appreciate it
