Gym & Food
This past month I’ve been trying out a new exercise routine. It involves high intensity interval training and more weights than I would normally do. The idea is to stimulate my body to have a higher proportion of lean muscle than fat. So far it has worked well! Muscle seems to burn off a lot more excess weight whilst I’m not at the gym than long distance running that I used to do.
