Are you looking to take some time for you and keep fit and slim?
This 4-week programme will make strength training fun. You'll need wrist and ankle weights for this routine.
The idea is simple: 3 routines a week to reach your goal.
The exercises get increasingly difficult as the weeks progress to help you reach an intermediate level by week 4.
Good luck! :)
