“I haven’t got time to…”
… cook healthy meals
… help out with the school
… exercise
… do my stretching
And so on
5 minutes later:
“Oooh did you watch Love Island”
No funnily enough. I don’t watch Love Island. In fact I don’t watch much TV. But I do manage to organise healthy meals, help out with the school, exercise intensely, occasionally do proper stretching, and run a pretty busy business.
This is one of the questions I get asked all the time. So here are my top tips on how to tone up your tummy…
We chat about lots of topics in our group training sessions. While still working hard, of course. Pensions, weight loss and long jump were just
