To lose weight, your energy intake needs to be lower than your energy expenditure.
The ideal approach is to follow:
- An endurance programme to draw on your reserves
- A strength training program to tone your body and prevent injuries
- A personalised nutrition program.

This programme is the "endurance" part of your goal.

It consists of 3 sessions per week, each with a different theme.That way you won't get bored!
Good luck!
