Efficient exercise gets results
How much should I exercise during a typical workout session and how many times during the week should I workout? Here are Julian’s advice.
Cultivate confidence
The key principle where health and body image are concerned seems to be straightforward on the surface. Let’s say that you happen to be a busy man or women and over the course of a year you gain a few kilos in weight. As a result you start to lose confidence in your body image and in yourself.
