Return to the gym

After another rest period of a few months, I returned to the gym yesterday to find that there had been a complete refurbishment. Most of the equipment was new and they are now also offering a number of classes that had not been offered at all previously.
I started with the last workout I had done [...]

Fat Burner For Lowering My Metabolism

I completed a metabolism busting session today, with a strong cardio warm-up and then a set of full body exercises with a slightly higher rep rate of 15.  I also reduced my time between sets to only 30 seconds.

I subscribe to a small number of well known keep fit sites, which lets me keep up to date on the latest trends and advice.  In the last two months I have [...]
