I’ve previously shared workouts 1 with you, which is located here if you missed it. Today, I’m sharing with you workout number 2. I do these exercises, in this order. I do 8 reps in each set, and perform 5 sets of each. However, moves 9 and 11 I do in […]
As I’ve mentioned previously, I generally work out with weights, rather than focus on cardio. I find it suits me better, and expect to get faster results this way. Also, I’ll end up with an end result I’m happy with. I have 2 different gym workouts, though they are both […]
