Low Reps; Heavy Weights
Hey, I have just started weight training today. I have a routine I am going to follow for each day, but they recommend doing like 12 reps and 4 sets.

Oblique Exercises

I try to work on a…

Still confused about my protein intake
Hey I've been doing a bit of research lately and I still can't come to a decision on how much protein I should be eating per day. I've used online calculators and tried to adjust to it, but it either seems too high or too low. I'm mainly trying to just build muscle, burn body fat abit quicker through muscle and get abit of…

Workout Trainer App
Hey, I've had this app for a while now, but never tried it out until yesterday. I've been slacking a bit in building up my muscle, so I decided to try out the Workout Trainer app. I didn't have much time, so I did this 8 minute intense workout. You do like 20 seconds or so of each workout and 10 seconds rest in between for…
