Thread: My Training Blog

Well since i have started my journey at the start of the year i have had my most motivated period over the last 3 days so i thought i would share my training with everyone on here.
Now i dont try and re-invent the wheel and alot of people will find it boring but this is what currently works for me, so long may it continue.
My training mainly consists of Exercise Bike, Weight Training and AB work. I will post what i have done over the last 3 days and try and update everyday from now on
