Toby Carson, Personal Trainer at PureGym Stoke North

No matter what you do it’s going to take time. Therefore it’s useful to set a goal to keep you on track.

Start with a long term goal (from four months to a year), then split it up into two-four week achievable, relevant goals.

Change your workout every six weeks to keep things fresh and to keep you motivated. I like to have 3 to 4 different workouts in a week. I progress the weight or intensity for six weeks and write down my results.

No matter what you do it is beneficial to lift some weights. You just have to change the reps and sets to make it specific to your goal (talk or use a personal trainer to learn more about this).
