Thread: Aussiewen's Journey to Leanness

Hey Wendy

Glad to see your journal started !

Did I read correctly... cardio and weight in the morning and then weights again in the evening ?

Good luck on your journey!!!

Lol.

Well its a mixture and i use really light weights nothing heavy at all. Its just to increase heartrate. It's more aerobics anyway.
