"Remember don't cheat! You are just cheating yourself. If you miss a section, don't worry! We all miss training now and again, even personal trainers. So just skip the session and move on to the next one. Remove one of your bad habit's. All of us have bad habits that we're aware of, but often do little to change them. Change one of your bad habits in the first week, just one change! it could be smallest change to you, but its a start. Just one change, no more! some examples ''stop snacking at night'', ''eat one fruit a day''. People whom start exercise routines often put themselves under to much pressure, exercise and fitness are good things. Its a great way to fell good about yourself and others, all changes make a difference we progress and becoming healthier together.
Please pause the video complete the reps of each exercise, before moving onto the next exercise!
