Hi guys, I am going to post my summer gym routine (cardio only), if any of you want to have a go. I will be posting my weights routine separatly in my future blog posts. Also do not worry if you don’t have a gym membership because I will also be posting at home workouts for you to try swell 🙂

As you can see all the cardio that I did to contribute to my weight-loss was aerobic and reasonably low intensity, but for long periods of time, so get that music in with a killer playlist!! The routine seemed to work for me when I did it 2/3 times a week, please feel free to ask me any questions, or let me know if you tried the routine and how your progress is going!
All the best,
Stay confident, stay happy,
