Lift weights, get lean!

Whole-Body Training for fat loss
A quick post today about the joys and pains of whole-body training taken from my blog. I use workouts like this to focus on getting leaner whilst maintaining my muscle mass. Please note that the letters indicate exercises that should be paired together. An example would be completing all the reps in A1, before moving onto A2 and then back to A1 until all the sets are completed. Any questions just fire away below.
