BBG
Has anyone tried BBG workouts, and if so what did you think about them? Can you really get that toned by only working out for 28 minutes?

Building Lean Muscle
Do you need to be in calorie surplus to build lean muscle? I don’t want to bulk and then have to cut. I’m only 110 lbs and 5’1, but I want to be able to build lean muscle so that I looked toned.

Food Scale
