In this article I'll give you 3 solid reasons why lifting weights can help you burn loads of calories, change your body shape and help you feel stronger, without looking all 'bulky'.

Judgment day web definition: Judgment Day: a day at the end of time following Armageddon when the fitness Gods will decree the fates of all individual trainees.

I added my own little spin on this but that kind of sums how I feel today.

Week 6 Day 17: So after a terrible session on Monday I made sure to have an up and go this morning. Just as well too, no dizziness and pukey feelings this time. Makes all the differnce for me and I am not at all a 'breakfast first thing in the morning' kind of girl.
