Spring Workout Plan

Spring is here, sun is out, you're in a happier mindset so what a great time to change your training plan to keep making changes to your body.

You may have been hibernating in the winter, didn't feel like going to gym or didn't go as often as you should have. A couple of kgs have somehow snuck on and its time to get the fat off before it sticks or even worse, you pile more weight on!

So to help you on your way, I've outlined a simple weekly training plan. OK, its not quite simple and is aimed at the more intermediate level gym bunny who's been training for a few years. But if you've just started at the gym, try and do the plan but perhaps just do 2 sets per exercise. The plan aims to increase muscle mass while helping you get leaner. You'll notice there's an extra day to focus on the butt as that's usually our most stubborn body part, right ladies?!
